LWG ch. 8-9

Chapter eight was a lonesome chapter. Ismael was all by himself the whole chapter except for the end. It was very detailed. He told us everything that happened while he was on his own in the forest. How the pigs almost attached him before he could climb up the tree and save himself. I felt so bad that he was all alone in the forest without anyone. Luckily he had that type of food to keep him from not be totally starving for a couple days. But when he finally got lost and decided to walk more was when he found his old friends. I'm glad he found them, because Ishmael needed some company. The poor 12 year old needed at least someone to talk to and keep his mind off of the horrible things that were happening.
Chapter nine was once again, sad. How the people don't trust the kids and capture them again and take their shoes and sent them away. Luckily, they found a nice man to help them heal their feet and rest. The one man is so nice to them, he gives them food, medicine, a place to sleep, and kindness! All of that is something the young boys really need in their lives at this point. Unfortunately the chieft of the village caught them and tied them up just like every other person that catches the boys. Luckily, Ishmael's songs saved him that were in his pocket. His life was saved all because of his music. He got very lucky.
