A Long Way Gone Ch:10

I had some sad and good feelings in this chapter. The boys have gone through so much by now. Like when Saidu dies. It was so depressing. In some way it felt that Ishmael Beah has lost some hope. He doesn't know what will happen to him in his future. And he also couldn't cry about anything.
But there was some hope. The villages were happy that the boys showed up. I was so happy that they would celebrate. It was so nice. Then when Ishmael Beah heard that his family might be in the next village. I was so happy but some way a little sad. Because they may not be there when he shows up.
Going back to the middle of the book. I was kind of scared about the crying dogs. I thought that they heard the rebels coming. So during the night when the boys tried to sleep I felt very nervous about what would happen.

I totally agree with your thoughts about Ishmael going to see his family again. I worry that they will not be there, or they will be separated again, or anything else bad could happen. This is a huge worry I am going to have while reading the rest of the book.
GOOD JOB! I liked how you picked all the key elements out!
