After reading chapters 1-14 0r specifically (chapters 11-14) you now know what happened to Ishmael and other people during this period of time, and what Ishmael and his friends are going through losing friends and family. Now we know what these people are going through and why.
During chapter 11 when Ishmael and his friends meet Ngor Gasemu and finally finding the the village that there family lives in. However after all that work and excitement of finally meeting your family was ruined because the rebels had attacked the village right before your even get there, and afterwords you get chased into the forest and Ngor Gasemu dies right in front of your eyes at the age of 12.
Imagine going through this almost every day of your childhood. Now put your self in Ishmael's position and express your feelings and your reaction to this situation?
Honestly, i do not know how i would handle this and take it all in. These events that were occurring was absolutely horrible. And i don't know how i could get pass it and move on. But i guess you really don't think about what happen because, every time you turn around something different is happening.
Wow! To think of being placed in his shoes and in that time and place is hard. I have no clue as to what I would do. And at the age of 12 no less. With nothing to keep you routed in sanity. I would definitely have to take it the way Ishmael is handling it. Taking it day by day. Overcoming my fears and weaknesses to get through to the next day.
It would be very hard to handle all this situation that is happeing to ishmael. Ishmael always hoping to see his family, but there always something happen and destory all his hoping. i would try to do the same thing ishmael went through to find out what's going to happen at the end.. either die or Live
If i was ishmael i would be devastated, knowing i am no longer close to finding my family. And having someone who knew them die infront of me would upset me. Because that person reminds me of me family in a sense.
well i would be very hurt i would cry everyday knowing that theirs no family to turn to. I will have a hard time trying to focus on things trying to get over that i have no family but that's something hard to get over getting over a lost one.
