1. I
believe the correct answer is: she explained that people should always strive
to be better versions of themselves.
In a memoir “A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of
a Boy Soldier” by Ishmael Beah, his grandmother explains the local adage that
"we must strive to be like the moon" as “people must strive to be
best version of themselves (on their best behavior)”. She gives example of
people complaining on the sun, being too hot or being absent, but they never
complain on the moon.
2. I
believe the correct answer is because he still admires the moon.
In the memoir “A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy
Soldier” Ishmael Beah remembers this adage because he still strives to be the
moon and admires it. The moon is constantly looking over Ishmael during his journey
and it’s reminding him of childhood, his life before the war, and his family.
3. I
believe the correct answer is that moon represents the bridge to the memories
of his past, happier life which means a lot to him.
In the memoir “A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy
Soldier” Ishmael Beah describes the brainwashing experienced in the army and
use of drugs in order to perform better and without fear. But seeing the moon
reminds him of his happy memories of childhood and his family. It gives him
hope for happier times and keeps him from losing himself.
