a long way gone ch. 10

It's nice when you read a chapter and there isn't a lot of graphic images all throughout the chapter.  Although there is a lot of sadness, and one graphic area, this chapter wasn't that hard to read.  It is so sad that Ishmael doesn't know when it is going to end.  He's living day by day not knowing whether he's going to make it.  I couldn't live like that.  It's creative that he could connect the moon showing to his life.  It's good to know that some people still care for the little children.  It made me happy that the village let them stay there and eat with them.  It's weird that everything that is happening to him now reminds him of his past especially with the hammock.  Bra Spider's story is interesting, but I like the moral of the story which is if you trick someone eventually the trick will backfire on you.  It's so sad that even the dog has to "steal" food to stay alive.  No human or animal should have to go through that.  I can't believe that some of the boys thought of killing the dog to eat.  It made me sad when Ishmael told us the stories of the boy's backgrounds.   Saidu's story was the saddest and the one that blew my mind away.  I's just so wrong to rape someone, but to do again and again is just so inhuman.  How could anyone do that?  It's so weird what happened to Kanei after he ate the dead bird.  I want to know what caused Kanei's death.  Was it eating the dead bird,fear, or something else.  I also want to know if Ishmael's family is still alive.  This book continues to make me sad.
