a long way gone 15 and 16

This chapter shows all the effect of the drugs on the soldiers. It is bad when a handful are taken to a rehab center and they do not like it even though they are given shelter,food,and new clothes. It shows that all they wanna do now is kill. Ishmael is not even the same kid, he is punching walls and  hurting people that are trying to help him. These boys are going through complete withdraw from drugs. This is why i think they are acting so violent. It is sad that ishmael can not even bring back memories of his childhood because he has been brainwashed with war.I think it brings back a little bit when they go to the city because it is not war. I wonder why the person stopped buying their school books.
