Blog1". What happens in the context of war is that, in order for you to make a child into a killer, you destroy everything that they know, which is what happened to me in my town. My family was killed, all of my family, so I had nothing"

Important quotes in this novel...

ahuerta_cu — 2015-12-10 18:29:03 UTC

"Things changed rapidly in matter of seconds and no one had any control over anything"

"When Ia was very little my father used to say, if you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die"

"Whenever I looked at rebels during raid, I got angrier because they looked like the rebels who played cards in the ruins of the village where I had lost my family. So when the lieutenant gave orders, I shot as many as I could, but I didn't feel any better"

"I had my gun now, and as the corporal always said, "This gun is your source of power in these times. It will protect you and provide you all you need, if you know how to use I well"

"These day I live in three worlds: my dreams, and the experiences of my new life, which trigger memories from past"
