Many things happened in Chapter ten. It was so nice of the villagers to give the boys food. That was one village that actually did let the boys in…in a way. When they left they were laughing and having a good time. It was good to read that they could still smile even though they felt guilty for it when everything so terrifying and saddening is going on at the moment. When they found the strange house with the kitchen I was so happy they did! Finally, a place to sleep and feel ½ way safe with. They had food with them too! Reading about how Ismael keeps having flashbacks of his old life is sooo sad! Nothing like thinking of your family when you don’t even know if there alive or not. I feel bad that the dog ate the rest of the kids’ food. It’s amazing how silent the group becomes when anyone brings up family life. Taking in all of the boys’ stories about how their life was taken from them was just unbelievable. Saidu’s was the worst in my opinion because now we know why he’s so quiet. The boys not knowing what day it was a big symbolism sentence! The war has taken so much effect on their lives that they don’t even know what day it is. Wow Saidu dieing L I guess it’s for the best. I felt so bad for that poor boy, at least he doesn’t have to go on and watch the war happen. But the poor guy, ugh words can’t describe how I feel. I guess the sound of the dog’s cries were right, something bad did happen and badness still lies ahead. Beah’s writing was amazing this chapter.
