Chapters 6-8

Chapters six through eight; were more upsetting and absolutely terrifying. Before I write some more I’d like to explain how I felt about the passages. The pages were difficult to read because it’s hard not to put your self in his place and imagine what if it happened to you, what happened to Ishmaels brother, what if that happened to my brother. My mind has been bouncing around with thoughts like this and its absolutely horrific thinking about it, I can’t imagine being in his place. Thinking of this happening to me, my friends, or family is already making myself feel almost empty inside, and my heart full of indescribable emotions, emotions I’ve never felt before in my life. The reason my emotions come out in full effect is because this actually happened, so it’s hard to believe he went through it. I can’t even picture the way he probably felt when this was all happening! Now back to the summary, Ishmael describes what he is going through so vividly its’ outrageous. Since the first chapter this book has been extremely truthful and tells this poor mans stories and past experiences of literally hell on earth. Ishmael lost his brother, and Ishmael seams lost him-self since then. The boys aren’t trusted any more by friends, family and many strangers. They are interrogated and seem suspicious to everyone that sees them. In reality the boys are running from the rebels, starving and in need for help. The boys are emotionally hurt more than anything and that is easily there main source of pain. The boys were captured by patrolling villagers and almost killed until a hip hop/rap cassette falls out of Ishmaels pocket and a young boy recognizes the boys from many talent shows. This was truly a lucky moment and help from god. Every one can feel what Ishmael and others are going through, and it helps describe what he has been feeling and definitely how he still feels. These feelings and emotions are Permanente and can never leave your mind or heart.
