A Long Way Gone

Ishmael is confused by the "box" and the other boys laugh at him. What is the "box" that Ishmael refers to? What does his confusion say to the life he's led versus the lives of the other boys in the room? Chapter 19

The box is an elevator. Beah was raised in a poor african village and had not seen an elevator before like the other boys.
