Ishmael Beah is going through a very devistating part of his life and doesn't/ can't see the future looking very bright. When you are in that sort of situation, you attempt to escape to happier things. Some people look for the happy things around them, others hold on to hope in the future. Beah, thought of his childhood. He remembered being happy then and was happy when thinking of a particular time or place in his past. Little reminders, like the moon, help him stay grounded and remember his past. I actually do the same thing when I am going through a tough time. I think of my past when the world was beautiful and there was no such thing as poverty, war, lonileness, hunger, and my world seemed perfect.
