A Long Way Gone Chap: 10
These boys are having a run of good luck it seems(until the boy dies). They are finding a bunch of villages that aren't chasing them away or trying to kill them. Instead these villages are partying and having a good time. I wonder if these villages just haven't been touched by the war or if they are just trying to ignore it. I thought it was good that they started telling stories after they left the village. that way they could get their mind off of what is happening and on the story. I think that it would benefit them greatly to keep telling these stories, it would keep them from going insane or getting desensitized. It is very sad that Ishmeal is unable to cry for his friends and family, this shows that he has acepted that they are going to die and has basicly given up hope.

I also thought that it was good that these other villages are doing good. They are happy and not trying to attack the boys like you wrote. I also agree that it is sad that he kind of has given up hope.
Great Job!
Yeah, it did seem like they were having good luck right up until Saidu dies. And the part about Ishmael not being able to cry for his friends representing that he has basically given up hope, was a really good statement. Good job
