This quote shows the loss of child innocence because even tho he may have had look pretty healthy on the outside he was not okay especially since he says "i live in three world" and he will never be able to forget along with the other children who faught in the war the horrific memories that turned them from children to adults.

"i was afraid to fall asleep, but staying awake also brought back painful memories.Memories I sometimes wish I could wash away,even though i am aware that they are an important part of what my life is; who i am now . I stayed up all night,anxiously waiting for daylight so that i could fully return to my new life,to rediscover happiness i had known as a child,the joy that had stayed alive inside me even through times when being alive itself became a burden.These days I live in three worlds: my dreams, and the experience of my new life,which triggers memories from the past"(pg 19)

The loss of child innocence is shown in this quote because like he says "we walked around the village and killed everyone" its sad and heartbreaking that Ishmael Beah along with other children had to go through this, no child should have to go through this.

Quote two shows the loss of child innocence because i assume that most children are not capturing villages and murdering the people, like in a long way gone when Ishmael says "the villages that we captured". also most kids don't think of their guns as their protectors kids also should not have to worry about being killed because they are children and they should be playing and not have to think about killing people,or that they might be killed in the next few days .
