hw help plz: chpt 17: Music comes back as Beah goes through rehabilitation. What role does it play? is its role diff. than earlier in the story? EXPLAIN ur answer

Esther's gift of a Walkman and rap tapes to replace those destroyed in the war also symbolize a new start. This is different from the purpose of the music earlier in the story when the boys used rap music to take their minds off what was happening in their lives..... it enabled them not to think and provided distraction.
