Chapter 9 ( i included chapter 8 in the last one)
This section surprised me. The way the guy helped them was so nice. I couldn't believe there were people who would do that, considering all the troubles going on. His innocence about the war reminded me of Ishmael, well the way he used to be. Like Ishmael he said he didn't realize what the war was really doing. He hadn't grasped the reality of it quite yet. Also, his good spirit was like Ishmael's. The sad part about this is that you know he will probably change, like Ishmael. The way the villagers didn't trust them goes back to what we were talking about in class. How people don't trust others anymore. However, it also proved that there is still good in people. The way he let them go in the end was very fortunate. It makes me sad though because who knows how many times his music can save him. It was also sad because they war as taken away everything that ever mattered to him. His friends, family, and love of music. I hated how when the chief made him dance and it wasn't coming from the heart like before. This chapter proves how much the war is changing things.

great blogg :) yea i agree with that the war has changed everything and everything that Ishmael loves has been taking away from him because of the war. I was also disappointed with Ishmael when he was asked to dance but it wasnt coming from the heart. I think music and his friends is a he has left and he should treasure what he has now because he might not have it in the future.
i agree with you a lot. it really surprised me how many things happened during this chapter, like the man who help them, then his village just attacks them all of a sudden. it surprised me a lot.
