The second day of reading

i am half way through chapter 6. i just read chapters 4 and 5. so far what has happened is, the six boys have been trying to hide and move along from village to village and they got caught by the rebels while walking through a Field of high grass, and all six boys were chosen to start being rebels but the rebels got distracted by threatening to kill an old man and the six boys managed to escape. they kept traveling on and stole corn from a little boy because they were sooo hungry and then as they were walking these muscular men came out of the bushes and tied the boy's arms around their back and tied their feet, the men were the village security and had to make sure that the boys were not rebels. and the men search Ishmael and found his rap cassette and that helped the men see that they are not rebels because some boy remembered a performance of dance they did. they were offered a place to stay in the village but they just kept moving along, walking in such a large group brings a greater chance of being seen. i feel scared for the boys in having to deal with all of the killing and sadness of seeing the people they once knew being killed right in front of them....

  1. Ashley,
    I am please to see you writing so much. The purpose is to journal your thoughts about the chapters. Pick a line from the book and the page number. Then ask questions. This isn't a book summary or review. What would you do if you were in his shoes or creeps as they call them???
