There are many fascinating stories around the world about real people. Some of these stories about people who started with crushes. One of those stories I read in the book called The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by Mr. Kamkwamba and Brayan Mealer about a young man named William Kamkwamba from Malawi, the land country in southeast Africa. He was born and raised in the village of Masitala near the town of Kasungu, Malawi. Where 90% of the country depends on agriculture and substantial economic aid from the World Bank. At the time Malawi was ruled by black magic and science was a mess, and where people lived in fear of jugglers and the mysteries of magic. And people were told about the shadow of black magic. Where people began to use magic even in hunting. The author said that one day some cow herders gave him some chewing gum. He ate it after a merchant passed by and asked questions about the bag of gummies. Some people told him that cow herders ate it. He told them that someone stole his chewing gum. He said he would go to the magician. The little boy got scared. He ran to his father and told him about the incident. His father ran to the merchant and paid him not to go to the magician, so the little boy was so happy. Kamkwamba comes from a family living in poverty no one could have ever imagined. At the age of six his family had to move to another city due to drought. The author talked a lot about his father and how he met his mother. His father was a very strong man and a strong drunkard, and is as capable and serious about anything as anyone could imagine. He said on Malawi's independence day most drink badly and dance, but his father went too far that day. He insisted on jumping off the stage. It took an army to remove him... middle of paper... in New Hampshire, and his profile was published in the Wall Street Journal. And he was also on the Diane Sawyer Show Good Moring America. I think this is the most fabulous and fascinating story I have ever read. Although there have been many stories similar to this one, but this one is so special if a young man from South East Africa living in the shadow of war and famine can bring about this kind of huge change in his own village. Even though I've never used a computer or the Internet, I think this is a really cool and unpredictable story. I recommend that this book be taught in every school in the world. It will help create new inventions. Works Cited Kamkwamk, W and Mealr, B. (2009) The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. New York Times Bestseller, by William Morrow (2009) NY, New York.
