This is a copy of my Essay, any help?

Ishmael Beah’s memoir A Long Way Gone tells the tragic story being a child soldier and the horrifying truth about the collateral damage of the civil war in Sierra Leone. The book chronicles the day to day events of running from battle, including watching children shot to the ground and witnessing friends and neighbors forced to dig their own graves. The Author’s photographic memory provides the reader with sickening insights about the reality of hunger and the horrifying concept of coming to terms with death. Yet as the book progresses Ishmael Beah writes about his days not as a refugee, but as a soldier in the army. Specifically the shocking testimony in each chapter, as he shared how war stole not only the lives, but the innocence and humanity from children, by turning them into drug addicts, murderers, slaves of loss. In this riveting memoir the story of a young child who became the collateral damage of a violent conflict, had his faith, future, and most of all, trust in humanity restored. Overall, this book outlines the power of hope and reminds us, that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

This is not an essay, just a paragraph either summarizing or reviewing this book, as far as I can tell. In addition, without knowing what your assignment is, no one here can tell if you have followed instructions or not. If it's an essay, then it should be multi-paragraph, should have a thesis statement (your opinion about something in the book), which needs to be proven in the subsequent paragraphs.

My best suggestion is that you put your paragraph through www.grammarly.com.
