Chapters 11-12

This was possibly the saddest section yet. They were all excited to see their family, but when they get to the village everyone was dead. The worst reaction by far was Ishmael's. He was so torn apart by it. Kicking the burning walls and not feeling a thing because he is hurting so much. The only pain he feels is from the loss of his family. I hated how everyone was trying to pull him away. Then they all got in a fight. The were all shouting out who's fault it was, just needing someone to blame. I felt so bad because Ishmael had all these thoughts of what if I just did this or what if I had done that, but you can't change what happened. Then when they got brought to the camp area, they were so happy. It felt like freedom. I was confused at first because I thought it was the rebel army and I was wondering why everyone was so happy. I didn't get how it was such a nice and semi organize place. When the rebels surrounded them however, I began getting scared. It was the first time Ishmael had held a gun. Even though it's supposedly the good army I felt that this was another step in becoming emotionless. I still don't know if I like this "good" army. I highly doubt things will work out.
