Title: My World Turned Upside Down
Characters:

Ishmael Beah
The narrator of this true story, Ishmael, is a boy soldier who finds a way to escape the horrors of war and go on to counsel others who are only looking for a way to live in peace.
Junior Beah
Ishmael’s brother, his companionship and love for Ishmael are some of the memories that help rehabilitate Ishmael. They escaped the initial rebel attacks together and then lost each other in the confusion that followed days later. He goes in search of Ishmael when they are separated and dies never knowing that Ishmael had found his family only minutes before they were burned alive by the rebels

Setting:
Mattru Jong
Sierra Leone, 1993-1997

New York City, 1998

Problem: It is evident that they have seen things that so plague their minds that if they explained it, Ishmael and his friends would refuse to accept it. He is only ten years old at this point and his imagination doesn’t have the capacity to understand what these children have witnessed.

Beginning:
1. The first time Ishmael is actually touched by the war, he is twelve. It is January, 1993, and he, his brother, Junior, and their friend Talloi decide that they will go to the town of Mattru Jong to participate in a talent show.
2.
3.

Med
1. On the morning they left for Mattru Jong, they loaded their backpacks with their cassettes and lyrics they are working on as well as several layers of clothes on their bodies for the days they would be gone. They have no idea that this unusual way of dressing will benefit them later. They also never say goodbye or tell anyone where they are going, because they have no idea they are leaving, never to return. They decide to walk the sixteen miles from their village of Mogbwemo to save money and stop halfway at Kabati, his grandmother’s village.
2.

3

End
1. Everyone runs for the bushes, but Ishmael doesn’t quite make it. He sees the driver, with a bleeding arm, vomit up blood and when the door on the other side opens, a woman leaning against it falls to the ground. Inside are three dead bodies, two girls and a boy, and their blood is spattered all over the inside of the van.
2.
3.

Conclusion: The boys continue to tell themselves that the war is just a passing phase that will be over in less than three months. They listen to rap music to pass the time, but Ishmael can’t help but remember the images from Kabati.
