a long way gone ch 3-5
It is amazing what starvation will do to you. In this book it turned these boys from being good citizens to stealing people's food during the night. it was sad when they had taken the 2 ears of corn from the little boy, when if they would have asked the boy for an ear of corn his mother would have made them some.I guess that if you are in bad conditions yo will do anything to get out of them. I just don't see how these rebels can do what they are doing to these innocent people. It must have been a horrifying scene to have watched people get shot and grenaded right behind you when you are trying to escape or seeing an old man being humiliated by the rebels. I feel bad for Ismael Beah, in that he had to go through this terrifying war during his childhood.

I felt the same way about the ears of corn. But we might have done the same thing if we were that hungry too. It is so wrong what the rebels are doing. They through grenades at innocent people and laugh at old men. It is so sad that anyone at our age had to go through this.
