Something Jeanne says is  "I wish I could grow up already. " She thinks that she is better off when she is grown up and not like a child. This book has an effect on others. Some of them teach you what it’s like to go through all this in a child’s eyes. Jeanne acts like she is an adult and she tries to eavesdrop on her mom and grandparents. Jeanne is an 8 year old girl who survived the Rwandan giocide.

It is an (internal or external) external conflict. It is Man vs. Society. I know this because there was war and people fighting against each other.

Another example is when she says that Jansen’s family helps out other families and children and she wanted to be just like them. Finally, she wanted to help her family because she wished they all survived instead of just her surviving and she felt like she could’ve done something to help.

This is an example of a onomatopoeia. I know this because it uses a sound.  The author uses this to describe that Teya is screaming.

I know this because some of the pronouns used are they and she/he. The narrator is telling a story about the lifestyle that Jeanne had. The author chose this point of view because there were different characters and it would have been harder for the author to always say “I” for first point of view.

This is because there were some parts of the book that I didn’t understand and the words are hard to pronounce. You might like it because it can educate you about Jeanne’s life. This book is realistic fiction genre. (I think) Some other books that are similar are “The survivors in Rwanda speaks” and “American Massacre.”
