The quote I chose from the book is “These days I live in three worlds: my dreams, and the experiences of my new life, which trigger memories from the past.” You can find this quote in the book located on page 20.
Here is the word art I created:
This quote early on in the book gives you an understanding of this young mans life and prepares you for what comes ahead in the book. From this quote you can understand that what happened in the past really effect this person and still effects them all the time. I chose to represent this quote on three pictures because it gives a very powerful visual of the quote. What I mean by this is that the top picture represents his dreams in which that leads the the middle picture of his life now in New York City and that leads to his past of being a child soldier in the gruelling town of Sierra Leone. A lot of people that also read this book decided to do quotes from the book when he is in the war and I thought that this quote was much more powerful because it not only shows the effects of him currently but also touches deeply into his past and future.
