The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind - William Kamkwamba















In the non- fiction book The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind - By William Kamkwamba one of the most interesting parts was when it was hunger season. That means that it was September, and the hole of Malawi  had food problems. The hole Malawi had those problems because there was one of the biggest  rainy seasons that Malawi experienced, and that meant that none of the food would grow. Williams family had one meal a day, supper. The hole town was so light and thin that it seemed that ghost were walking instead people.In the middle of the rainy season two boys came to see William. The same two boys were teasing him because Williams dog was fallowing William everywhere. When those two boys came to visit William they saw his dog. The dog was really thin, he also got one meal a day, but only three full spoons. The two boys were disgusted  by the dog, and said that they will come tomorrow morning and tie the dog two a three  so the dog would die. I don't know why William didn't defend his dog. The day after that the two boys came again. Few minutes after their arrival William and the two boys went outside to tie him. When they found a spot to do that William took the dog and tied him to a tree. When William and the two boys were heading home without the dog William could hear his dog cry. William just left the dog there and the next day the poor dog died. I do not know why William would do that. Why would he do that to his best friend? Why would he leave his best friend to die feeling alone and sad? William did that because two boys who were teasing him told him to do so. When I read this part of the book I felt sad for the dog and William. I felt sad for the dog because he experienced the feeling of loneliness, and after that he died alone. The feeling of loneliness is very painful and nobody should have that kind of feeling. I also felt sad for William because he lets people do this to him. He lets people control his life and his decisions.
