Read the excerpt below from A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah and answer the question that follows. The four of us had started a rap and dance group when I was eight. We were first introduced to rap music during one of our visits to Mobimbi, a quarter where the foreigners who worked for the same American company as my father lived. We often went to Mobimbi to swim in a pool and watch the huge color television and the white people who crowded the visitors’ recreational area. One evening a music video that consisted of a bunch of young black fellows talking really fast came on the television. The four of us sat there mesmerized by the song, trying to understand what the black fellows were saying. . . . I was impressed that the black fellows knew how to speak English really fast, and to the beat. What do the details in setting reveal about Beah’s personality?

The details in the setting reveal that they were back in a time where colored people were being treated unfairly or seen as the lesser population. Beahs personality seems like he/she is very curious in what other people think, as well as he/she seems like a very easy going person due to the fact he/she did not get mad when ‘the white people’ questioned why he could speak English so fast, rather then getting mad he/she seemed very calm and easy going

Answer:

He is passionate about music and friends
