These chapters had a lot less blood and gore than the previous too, but it all still seems so unreal to me and I’m sure to a lot of my classmates. It was easier to remember that all of this really happened this time though. It is hard to imagine how hard it must be on those six boys who are wandering around with no idea if their families are alive or dead, starving, and being rejected stay in villages just because they are boys and could potentially be child soldiers. Also, there were a lot of close calls that had me worried that Ishmael Beah, his brother, or friends would be killed in these chapters. I was most worried when it seemed like Junior was going to have to watch Ishmael get killed ten feet from where he stood. The book is becoming more readable especially for some of the members of our class that might get disgusted by bloody and gory content, at least for now.

I was worried about Ishmael too. He does a good job of keeping you guessing what's going to happen with all of his close calls
I agree, it was a lot less gory and bloody than before. I was also thinking about what would happen to the boys. Like you said there may not be chapters like this with less blood and gore.
Very true. We do have a little break here of "less" graphic chapters, but do be forewarned that it will get rough again.
