chapters 8-9

In chapters eight and nine were happy and sad at the same time. Ishmael was happy that he found his friends but deep down knew it was not good because now people would assume that they are rebels. In these chapters people view all kids around Ishmaels age as rebels. When Ishmael was retelling his stories about his pass live made me really realize how he had a good life and his is life keeps going down everyday until one day he’ll reach rock bottom and at that time I think Ishmael will realize from hear he can only go up and I think he’ll eventually land on his feet. This war has had such a impact on Ishmael that now is afraid of every thing even his own shadow made me realize how afraid he is.

yea mason i agree. I couldnt imagine having such a great life and then watch it go down the drain each day at a time. Ishmael even said in the book that he was loosing his family and friends as each day went by.
