Chapters 3-5
In these chapters it was hard to comprehend the heartache the boys were going through. I didn't really understand why the brothers were trying to distant themselves from each other. I think if I was in there position I'd want to be closer with my brother than ever. It was sad to see the boys starting to steal and cheat to get through life, when they were raised to do the exact opposite. When they stole the young boys corn and didn't care while he cried was not a fun thing to read about. As the boys were running from the rebels and didn't even really notice that people were struggling none the less to stop and help. The boys are changing in to people who they thought they'd never change into.

Great points here. I agree--in spite of all the horror around them, I think one of the absolute saddest things about the book is how families and friends become emotionally isolated from each other.
