I can’t believe that someone that young has the strength to walk for 2 days straight without sleeping. Plus the only stops to be made were to get water. I would die of hunger and exhaustion. In a thick forest, lost all alone it would feel like you would give up hope. Like everything that you knew was gone, you couldn’t help anyone because you were lost, and life was so different that you couldn’t even help yourself. People are one thing every person needs even if they say they don’t. It’s not possible for a person to live without someone by his or her side. Or at least someone to see and talk to every day to make you less lonely. But no Ishmael found his way without anyone’s help, made a “bed” for himself, and managed to get along without crossing to the side of giving up hope, which I admire him greatly for. I was so happy for him when he finally met the six other boys. Even though he was in a group again which did not have very many advantages, but one it did have was the feeling of companionship and having someone close to you and to talk to. I loved it when they went to the old man and he was very calm, gave them directions, and ask if they wanted food right away. As soon as he saw these children he knew that they were not harmful and that they were just lost children. He did not fear for his own life because he knew that it was coming to an end, but for the first time in the book we see that someone actually cares for these boys and hopes that they get through it alive and without being taken by the rebels.
In Chapter nine I couldn’t believe that after all these children had gone through that they still had enough time and energy to mess around and play on the beach. It was so cool that they could leave everything that they had seen in the past weeks and just have fun and go back to being normal kids. The found a way with the seven of them to have fun. They were in a place that they had really never seen up close before and they decided to make the best of it while they could. This I really admire them for.
