Metaphors- a comparison in which one thing is said to be another
Ex: she is a walking dictionary

This flashback occurs after the boys stop in Kabati and see survivors fleeing from Mogbewmo. Beah chose to provide this flashback because of the fact that it gives the reader a little historical background and also provides for the story the comparison between civil war and independence.
<span>System Answer: Beah provides this flashback to his father's words after he, Junior, and Talloi give up their attempts to head back to Mogbwemo. From the verandah of their grandmother's abandoned home, they had witnessed victims from the rebel attack pass. The boys give up hope on Mogbwemo and head back to Mattru Jong. At this moment, Beah chooses to reflect on his father's words. Based on the information provided in the flashback, I think Beah is doing two things: he's both informing the audience of a bit of Sierra Leone's history as well as asking the readers to reflect on why this war was happening. There are some, according to Beah, that believed the civil war was one of revolution. Yet, the actions of the revolutionaries, which Beah had just witnessed, were awful, violent, and senseless. All that was left, in Beah's words, is fear—a fear that didn't have any answers, justice, or rationale for its victims.</span>
