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?

Ineed advice. i have a lot of friends at school but recently my best friend for some reason didn’t like our friend group. she wanted to switch to a new table during lunch. she said she found a new table where we would be welcomed if i wanted to come. i agreed because i knew i would continue to talk to them outside of lunch. after a month or two, my best friend got mad at our new lunch table group. so she left for a day or two, but i stayed because i actually kinda liked it there, even if it was kinda crazy. then she came back to the table. eventually i started to miss my old friends at my old lunch table. so i went over there for one lunch. then after lunch i sat at my new lunch spot before the bell rang. they all called me a traitor. so now i sit with my old lunch group, which is fine because i missed them, but i also miss my new, now old, lunch table. what should i do? p.s. sorry if you loose your last brain cells trying to understand this.
