Chapters 3-5

Chapters 3 through 5 were terrifying to the kids in the book, and even to me. The thought of running away from rebel army soldiers, who are trying to kill or abduct, any one they can find. The boys running away in terror was very sad and adrenaline filled, because you didn’t know what could happen next, whether it was them getting caught, killed, or getting safety I was on the edge of my seat in terror with mixed emotions. The way Ishmael describes his passages, thoughts, passed experiences, and emotions, I almost felt like is in his place or at least there watching it happen. After reading what the boys are going through, I had to take a break and think of what is happening and just think of what they are experiencing. It’s absolutely horrible what is happening, reading the chapters fills me with anger and depression because it makes me mad knowing this happened and is still happening. Sometimes I can’t believe this even happened and how this man is not completely dead inside, if I were in his place I would feel worthless for what I have lost but thankful for my survival. Every chapter I read in this book is heartbreaking and depressing everything he describes happened and it hurts knowing it actually did. The book is still changing my life page by page, and chapter by chapter.
