Jojo's Story

It was first time for me to be absorbed in only one book. This story tells me the crueless of a war and the nobility of the casual life.
I can't forget the words that Jojo said when Chris had to say goodbye.

"I don't mind if you're not there all the time. I'll study and then I'll make money. I'll make a lot of money and come back and built my village again."

I can't belive 10 years boy said such a thing.
Ironically, I think the war makes people stronger, but we think peace is the best. However, some people argue that the Japanese innocently take peace for grant. What is the peace?

"I was a boy when I met Chris. That was then. Now, I have a gun and I'm a man."

There are many children like Jojo all over the world. Perhaps, some children think fighting is the purpose of their life.

This story is so serious, but this is good oppotunity to think of peace.
