A Long Way Gone Chap: 15-16

It seems that in these chapters everything is going to get better. But, they don't get as good as you would have thought they would be. While Ishmael does get taken away from the war he is so used to it that he gets furious with the UNICEF people. The boys constantly beat up the people trying to help them and fight amongst themselves all the time. They disobey almost all the rules and when the staff tell them that its not their fault they throw things at them and/or beat them up. These boys were so used to the war that they can't live without it. In the next chapter though you see the boys starting to go through rehabilitation. They are slowly getting used to being off drugs and many of them have gone through rehabilitation process and are getting used to living a normal life. Chapter 16 shows promise for these boys and while it might not be over yet, their long journey through war and strife is nearly over.
