(Ooh-ooh, hoo-hoo-hoo! Ooh-ooh hoo-hoo!)
Cry to me, now;
You gonna cry to me, yeah!
You're gonna walk back through the heartaches;
You're gonna walk back through the pain;

i chose this song because this song retates to the book A long way gone. because he is going though a lot of pain and sadness when he was a solider when he got shot by other people. Also he misses his family and he wants to Ester that hes loves her like a sister but he can't because he doesn't know how she will reacted to it.

A single slice reveals them

An apple on the table
hides it's seeds
so neatly
under seamless skin

But we talk and talk and talk
to let somebody
in.

By Naomi Shihal nye

I think this relates to the book A Long Way Gone. He is angry on the outside and lonely in the inside beacuse he isn't a solider anymore and because he has no family. The soldiers put him in a home for soldier boys to get them help because he is a boy not a soldier. They need to keep talking to him so he will get better and not be so lonely.They keep talking to him so he will listen and go back to being a boy because he is scarred really deep with the people that he had killed.

The 2 consciousness

The two consciousness of him are that he is a solider and also still a boy. He one ways he is different now are because he doesn't not remember anything from his child hood because he is fighting in the war and he is addicted to drugs so bad now and he is killing people and fighting in this war. In the begging he didn't want to fight of anything he was running away scared and trying to look for his family and brother. So he just figured that fighting is a better way for him to realive his pain that he has been though. he is sick of running away from his fears. he was not mature when he was given his gun when he was around 12 or 13 years old and started doing drugs. These are the two consciousness of the life of a long way gone.
