In response---

So I'm sorry I completely forgot that you have no clue what my central question is. For the most part, I'm gearing my reading towards the affect of war and genocide in Africa on the morale of different age groups. I also plan on having some focus on those who have prevailed from African wars, to see what qualities they posses that led them to seek refuge.

Also, In response to your questions Alisha, the book doesn't give specific visitors that have stayed with the authors family. It just says that hospitality is a major belief in his area. The author himself was born in 1954, which subsequentally places his childhood in the mid to late 50's and early 60's.

His community was in the town of Nkomero, which had little substance to it with very few stores and a small roman catholic church. The people were all very close, and shared strong bonds like those of many modern day small towns. (You know, where everyone knows everone elses business-Think Stars Hollow on Gilmore Girls.)
Rusesabagina tells of his father never having to raise his voice. He speaks of his father almost as a God.

I'm going to post more really soon.

Chapter uno

So the first chapter of An Ordinary Man is a basic summary of the authors life. He talks about how his father was one of the most influential people in his community. His fathers values and the values of his community obviously influenced his values as an adult. In his community, people would let travellers stay with them as an act of hospitality. This will obviously serve as a catalyst for the rest of the book, and the rest of his life.

I plan on posting again soon

So please don't kill me-

I'm getting nowhere with the book I'm reading right now. So, I've made the objective decision to start a different book-

I'm starting it right now and I will most definately post sosososo soon
I'm starting An Ordinary Man by Paul Rusesabagina, which is the biography of the man who inspired Hotel Rwanda-which I plan on watching as an extra.

Fall Out Boy's latest single-which when you first see this may seem strange, but just watch it and trust me.


After that, looking at http://www.invisiblechildren.com/home.php really makes you stop and think. For the past twenty minutes I've been brainstorming ideas about ways to raise money for donations...If you think of any let me know?
