1. I think he felt as if something was after him because he no longer feels safe, the rebels always end up attacking. I have felt this way, but I feel this way when I am doing something bad.
2. The images of all the death he has seen would not leave his mind. He saw heads chopped off by machetes, smashed on cement, rivers filled with just blood and a lot of other sad things.
3. He slept on a tree with branches that mad the branches like a hammock.
4. The food that kept him alive was some sort of ripe fruit that the birds kept eating. The fruit was like a lemon, with an outer layer of mixed colors of yellow and red.
5. His grandfather made a special medicine that was supposed to enhance the brain’s capacity to absorb a retain knowledge. The medicine was made with medicinal leaves and bark.
6. The most dangerous thing about the forest were all the wild animals like the wild boar.
7. I time I could not stop thinking was when I got in huge trouble by my parents. I was trying to figure out my plans for the future. A lot was going through my mind.
8. Ishamael’s life in the forest was difficult. He had to find food that wouldn’t kill him. He also had to be careful and aware of all the wild animals that could kill him.
9. The rhythm of the branches and actually seeing people drove his spirit alive.
10. He was able to tell what tribe they were from because of the marks on their cheeks and their features.
11. This quote means that they have seen so much ugly and bad things they kind of went crazy. They were forced to grow up because they had to take care of themselves and survive.
12. men were trying to kill them with machetes because there were rumors about “seven boys”, they thought they were killing people or causing trouble, but the men let them go when they realized they were just boys running away from the war.
1.The images kept making him walk faster, his body also twitched with fear, he also became dizzy. He was able to see the leaves swaying but he couldn't feel anything.
2.To keep himself occupied he finds things to do.
3.Ishamael does seem scared to be lost in the jungle, but when he trys to think of a way to leave he is to scared to think because he is probably safer in the forest anyways.
4.It is a risk to eat the strange fruit because he does not know if they are poisonous or not, but he figured if the birds eat them he can to.
5.The memories of his family made Ishamael sad. It makes him sad because he misses them and because they are not around anymore and it brings a lot of sad thoughts.
6.He used a particular type of grass. When he squeezed a lot of grass together foam would come out and it would leave his body clean and fresh.
7.Ishamael is very lonely. When he is lonely he starts thinking to much , he didn’t like thinking to much because every thought was a sad one. He would think about where his life was going and where his family and friends were.
8.Some dangers that are beginning to scare him are coming in contact with the wild animals.
9.I think when Ishamael thinks about his family it just makes him sadder, but I think it probably makes him stronger also because he was a bigger strive to survive.
