Book: Jojo's story


I red this book called Jojo’s story.
The main character is Jojo who is just ten years old. He was living in the small village with his family but he lost his family, friends, and teachers everything. He was the only one who wasn’t killed that means fight. He was afraid of the man and so hungry. One day he saw one other men coming to village. His name was Chris and he was taking many pictures for English newspaper. He was very nice to Jojo and they became really good friend. Chris took Jojo to the children’s house. It was really big house and many children who lost their family just like Jojo and one doctor; Nicky were living there. After Chris went away, Jojo met one soldier who was his brother’s friend. Jojo liked him because he could feel like he is real Jojo who is from village. Jojo found that the soldiers including a friend of Jojo’s brother had very old guns and boots. So he steeled new one from other soldiers and they were very happy with it. But that means that Jojo had to run away from them because he steeled them. That was the time when Jojo had gun and became a man.
I thought it was really sad and scary story, especially the scene that Jojo and other children had to hide in the deep hall hearing loud gun and their screaming. And it is very sad to image many children lost their legs because of landmines. But I have many things that I still really don’t know about those affairs and I should know and learn about it. One of my friends is working at NGO and she often goes those countries and studying so hard. I saw many times she was looking many books about those kinds of problems too. It’s very good chance to know what it is going on outside of Japan from her so I should ask and lean things more.
