A long way gone
In my book," A Long Way Gone" the main character in my book is Ishmael who is a child who was caught in the war while just being a spectator. The enemy who is destroying the villages are rebels who force children to join their side. Because of this many adults are afraid of this they are cautious and make a stereotype from children thinking that they are rebels. Whenever Ishmael goes into a village 2 things usually happen. Most of the time the village is abandoned because they hear rumors of children coming to their village. Because of this stereotype, many people assume children to be rebels which leads to panic and people leaving the village. On the other hand, there can be a ton of soldiers ready to take the "rebels" to be questioned either to be released or to be killed.

My book columbine is similar in away that the blame shifts on to other people. People blamed Marylin Manson for the shooting as the children in your book were blamed.
ReplyDeleteThis is like The Help because certain people in the town have certain stereotype and are cautious around them because of the stereotype that was made up about them. The white people were cautious around black people because of the stereotypes about black people being sick and dirty.
