Quote:"Everyone had waited for this moment that would determine what we were going to do for our safety".
Pg.107 paragraph 1 spoken by: Ishmael beah.

Significance: This quote is VERY significant! After it proves how everyday every second every minute Ishmael is going trough danger. Witch just isnt the type of life style a boy of his age should go trough. Like I have said many times he should be having fun playing with his friends.


Character judgment: I cant really judge Ishmael. Except for the fact that he is a very smart child. He has managed to stay alive throughout this whole journey he has being going trough.

Question: Do you think Ishmael Is going to die?!

Quote 2: "The corporal gave the signal with a pistol shot and I grabbed the mans head and slid his throat in one fluid motion"
Pg.125 Paragraph 1 spoken by: Ishmael beah

Significance: This quote is very significant! It shows how Ishmale behavior isn't the behavior a boy of his age should have. I don't really blame him after he is kind of forced to do all of this stuff. I still don't think anyone should be doing all of this stuff.

Character judgment: I was very surprised when I read that Ishmael can do such a thing but I mean hes kind of forced to. I think that even though he was forced to he should of never done what he did. No one should do such a thing.
