// Hi Brooke! You have done a wonderful job on your chapter summaries. I know you really enjoyed this novel. You are an avid reader! Way to go! Some of the content is extremely challenging and violent. What are your thoughts on this? I think about what strength the characters must have to persevere and even survive for that matter! What do you think the main message of this novel is? Please let me know your thoughts. Just a little reminder to carefully read your entry prior to posting to check for little typos. Not having a spell check on a wiki is one major draw back and I keep finding myself leaving silly errors in my feedback! // // Have a great weekend! // // Ms C :)﻿ // //__ E-Journal Entry#1Capters 1-5 pages 1-48 __//

In the beginning of the book it didn’t sound anything like the title. I love the character Kony. He is mysterious and awfully intelligent but what I like the most is that he is smart enough to captor the children and demand them to stay with him in the child army. You see Kony is the leader of the Child army in uganda, Africa. Every child in the area is scared of him even the Adults. So right now in the novel Jacob's school is surrounded by gaurrds. Also jacob had just arived at back at his home for a week end then he is going back to the high school he goes to. Jacob's family is super rich so he has like a nannie sort of but not really and her name is Ethel and she takes Jacob to Church. In Africa it is not a good thing if you go to the medicine man and church the same day. Jacob's family is super cathlis they belive that the only reason kids get an education is because god let's them. Any who anuf of what is going on in the book I think the book could use a little bit of a push to get it started. You know like a kick to make the reader want read on.

So the book now is so hard to put down you just want to keep reading on and on. After they got captured they went to a village were they were going to live. There there where women who are slaves and Kony's wives. Kony thought besause he is the leader of the children army he should have more than one wife. One of his wives ears is cut off because she was talking to a solider and Kony got upset and cut off her ears and the solider was beaten to death.

While Kony was saying this story of the womens ears a boy (whose name I can not recall) had fainted and was unconscience. With Kony that is not suppossed to happen. So Tony was suppossed to beat the boy with logs along with other soliders. But Tony refused and was tied against a tree and Kony asked Tony if he wanted a long sleeve shirt or a short sleeve shirt. If he wanted a short sleeve shirt Kony would cut off his arms but if he wanted a long sleeve shirt he would cut off his hands. ooooooooohhhhhh!
