2 Summaries
This story is about the narrator comparing their life at 10 years old with Juliet who has to prepare for war at 10 years old. The narrator is talking about how they do the same stuff but on different feelings and occasions. For example, putting on face paint and listening to music. One's war music and the other is nice music you listen to relax.
The speaker wanted to teach us about how we shouldn't take life for granted and be glad about what we have. Because she wants to raise awareness and for people to donate and care for the child soldiers.
