A Long Way Gone-Director

1:How did you feel about the way the village took Ismaels crapes and made him walk on the hot sand????

I thought that this was a crule and horrible way to punnish someone for being mistook for a child soldier. He was walking to a village and they thought that he and his friemds were child soldiers. After they found out that they werent child soldiers they released them but took their crapes and made them walk without them.. By walking on the hot sand cause them to burn the skin right off their feet.

2:What do you think caused the village to mistake Ishmael for child soldier????

I think it would be pretty common considering all the rebels that go around and recurit child soldiers. It wasnt the first time they have been cought believeing to be child soldiers. If anybody saw or heard about young boys walking in groups them they automaticly assumed that they were child soldiers comming to kill them so they always jump and surprise Ishmael and tie him up.

3:How would the story have been changed if the author had not let the village where Iahmael's family was staying at burn down happen??

If they had not let that village burn down he would have gotton to see his family. Ishmael could have stayed with his family and they could have left the place together and go to a safer place. Gasemu would have still be alive not shot and dead. When Ishmael gound the village burned he went berserk and started to attack his friends and hit Gasemu in the face.

4:What questions did you have when you finished this section???

Some questions I had  after i finished this section were.....
        Did Ishmael's family die during the attack?!?!?!
        When will they be captured by the rebels????
        Will he escape?

5:What do you think caused Ishmael to attack Gasemu???

I think Ishmael attacked him because if they wouldnt have stoped on the hill to take a break then Ishmael would have been able to see his family before the attack. Ishmael was really mad and attacked Gasemu blaming him for not being able to see his family before the rebels burned down the city.
