Title of Book: __Going Solo__

Author: Raul Dahl

Why did you choose to read this book?: I chose this book because, I had enjoyed many other Raul Dahl books. I figured this book would be enjoyable too!

Theme (Main Idea of the Book): The theme of the book (in my opinion is being "Solo" can be good and bad. Also that being "Solo" you will go through alot of thing. Dangous, and Adventrous!

Setting (Time and Place): The setting is Nairobi, Mombasa, Zanzibar, and Dar es Salaam also more. In the 1940's.

Plot (What Happens): The plot is Raul leaving his family and going to Africa for war. He goes into so many things like getting in a plane crash, seeing a woman almost get eatting by a Lion. Which is why for him going "Solo" was pretty tough.

Characters: Raul, Mdisho, Piggy, Shamba Boy, and David. They were pretty important Characters in the story.

Fictional books always have main characters. Describe one main character in this book in detail. How did he/she look? What age was he/she? What was his/her personality like? What was the importance of this character to the story? Did you like this character? Why or Why not? A important character is Raul Dahl. He was a 23 year old guy. Who has Blackish, Brownish hair, and kind of has a unibrow. Rahl was a pretty brave guy. He's a loner,

Rahl was important to the story because this is an autobiograghy, so without him there really wouldn't be a story. I like this character because even though he went through lots of trouble he showed his readers away to get through it.

Main Events: A main event (to me) is when Rahl losses his sight after the crash, and had to go back home because of his sight problems. Which it was kind of hard for him since he work hard on saving Africa.

Problem/Conflict: The Problem was that Raul had to stop the Germanis from coming more in to Africa.

How did the story make you feel? This story make me feel how it would be to be some where else by my self.

What new things did you learn from this book? I learned that Tarazani used to be Tanganyika.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes, I would recommand this book to someone because, this book tells alot about history, and the author Raul Dahl.

Conclusion: In Conclusion __Going Solo__ isn't the Best thing to do. Exspecally when your young giving your live way. So when it comes to a time when you want to go somewhere "Solo" I would read this book, then think again.
