You know what this place is? Those Engineers, this ain't their home. It's an installation. Maybe even military. They put it out here in the middle of nowhere because they're not stupid enough to make weapons of mass destruction on their own doorstep. That's what all that shit is in those vases. They made it here. It got out, turned on them. The end. It's time for us to go home." #startrek #captainjanek #stackerpentacost #idriselba #prometheus #pacificrim #startrekbeyond #thor #thedarkworld #Ragnarok #thedarktower #mollysgame #ageofultron #beastsofnonation #infinitywar https://www.instagram.com/p/BnYaRsFHZqs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1godilz4a6xi8

“Sun, why are you shining at this world? I am wanting to catch you in my hands, to squeeze you until you can not shine no more. That way, everything is always dark and nobody’s ever having to see all the terrible things that are happening here.” - Agu, Beasts of no Nation.

Yizhi: "I opened the first page and saw this dedication: 'For Those Who Have Suffered'. I was moved by this sentence. I'm not sure why. One day, I hope I can do something big for people. Now, I do what I can—even if it's a small act, like buying people on the street pizza or fried chicken." @yizhi__w #BeastsOfNoNation #UzodinmaIweala #repost / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Fulton Street)

Beasts of No Nation - pt. 1

Beasts of No Nation, written by Uzodinma Iweala, is a piece of literature that in my eyes brings a detailed outlook on one of the more complicated situations that some youth find themselves in. The book conveys, in a vividly brutal manner, truths of what a person involved in war has to come to terms with. The escalation of the mental and moral torment that the protagonist Agu faces throughout the first few chapters is representative of the escalation of violence that occurs in war as well. The power that murder and violence has on an individual and others is terrorism itself. No one plans to be a killing machine as a child. Agu had imagined himself as a noble soldier, not a killer. But, when Agu finds himself in the role, he cannot disassociate with the label as it is truer than even being a soldier. I find it very powerful that Iweala manages to showcase the intense juxtaposition of Agu’s past to his present. I think that one feels a sense of sadness to see a child that was so eager to learn and pursue their interests become trapped in a cycle of violence. The sheer vulnerability exemplified in Agu’s character is reminiscent of many young people today. We often are encouraged to blame each participant in these scenarios despite the context that led them to take up such roles. Everyone is only subject to the power constraints around them. When one is left with the choice to starve or join a terrorist group in order to survive, it’s hard to blame someone for at least wanting to survive and to be taken care of. I believe an aspect that Agu also represents is the desire of humans to be validated. The feeling that someone is willing to take care of you despite the many reasons why they should not is complicated and important in any relationship. In Agu’s instance, they simply could have killed him or left him to die. A question posed by someone in our class rings true in this instance: If someone has bad intention but the impact of their actions are still good then is it a just action? If the militants wanted more soldiers to fight for their cause and ended up saving people from disease and starvation through their support then is it a good cause in some ways? I believe that a deeper analysis of situations like these gives context to understand how violence occurs and how to prevent it in the future.

“Im now knowing the smell of the dead. There are sweet like sugarcane and rotten like palm wine. And when they stay in the sun, there are growing plump like brown mangoes.”

#VaultReview #BestOfNetflix/#2 🎬(2015)#BeastsOfNoNation🎬 "Idris Elba's performance is a powder keg. Ignites the screen. Attah's rendition of the fall from innocence is captivating. Extraordinary in almost every way." ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #SeeIt #StreamIt #Netflix #idriselba https://t.co/zmqbWcyorQ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm9VshhhKPu/?igshid=d3kv1gzgy6t0
