For this blog post, I want you to select 10 chapters (choose the ones that seem the most significant to you) from this book and give them full chapter titles. As the book stands now, Beah simply numbered each chapter, but I want you to give a title for each chapter you select. The titles you create must connect the reader to the material, emotion, events, significance, or what have you that take place in the chapter. Then you must explain how/why that title works
So...if you were to select chapter 2:
Chapter 2--Back to the Future
I titled chapter 2 "Back to the Future" because this is the classic flashback chapter in which Beah gives his readers assurance that he does, indeed, make it out of Sierra Leon and is able to enjoy a future, but it also shows that even in the future, this young man is constantly troubled by his past.
You will have a week to choose your chapters, title them and provide rationale for each title. This blog is due on 4/27
