A Long Way Gone Chap. 15-16
The first few sentences of Chapter 15 just goes to show Ishmael Beah has changed since the begging of the book, and I was shocked at how fast someone could change like that. He went from a nice sweet boy to someone who had become a ruthless killer that all he wanted to do was kill more and more people. And then when UNICEF came and took him away at first I thought that he had been saved. And UNICEF goes and puts rebel boys and army boys in one camp, and the fighting breaks out again. And out of all the people there Ishmael has to be the one with the grenade and throws it trying to blow up kids the same age as he is. I was shocked by this and had to reread it so that I could believe what I had just read. At least in the end the UNICEF people realized they had to send each group of boys to different facilities and the boys rehabilitation process began. There may still be some hope for Ishmael yet.

Great Job!
I agree. I thought that he has changed too. When UNICEF came, to me I had no idea what was going to happen. Then when they mixed the army boys and the rebel boys. I thought that was kind of dump. Like you said at least UNICEF fixed the problem
