I thought it was so sad when Ishmael had to leave the rehabilitation center. He made so many friends there and started to become really close to his nurse and then he had to leave. I’m sure he was happy to get out of there, but you could tell he felt a bit of sadness linger over him. I also thought it was sad that he didn’t see his nurse ever again at one point in the chapter. But he enjoys living at his uncle’s and having family around. I think it’s good for him. Then when he got the interview. That was so exciting; who knew that would happen to him! I thought it was so rude when the kids were making fun of him because he didn’t know how to work the elevator, etc. I mean if they knew what he just went through, they would not have been laughing. I think it’s funny how he didn’t know what snow was, it’s actually really sad!
It’s amazing to hear about all the stories that the other children experience from their different countries. I’m glad I didn’t hear most of them, because I would have gotten really sad and feel even guiltier than I do now. Laura seems so nice, and it’s weird to read that she is Ishamel’s mom later on in his lifetime. She was s nice to provide him and Bah coats. His speech was so good I thought! He did a great job, and I think he proved his point to the people. He’s so young and to get up and do that is really good. I’m glad that Ishamel had a great time on his last day in New York, he deserved it.

Most people would be happy when they laft a rehabilitation center. But for Ishmael I agree that it seemed sad. It was is family for the last 8 months and so I felt bad for him when he had to leave even though he had almost completely recovered. Great Blog.
