Chapter 1-I can’t believe that they even went back to their old home. That is so brave of them and I don’t think that I would have been able to do that even though they only went halfway. When Beah described the people that walked by him it made me so sad. I had to take a break from the reading and do something else. I’m glad he didn’t go all the way back to the village. If he had I have no doubt that he would have been killed or captured.
Chapter 2-This chapter was very short and boring but it did show how when he got away from the war that it still when with him where ever he goes. When he dreamed about the war and then reverts back to it during daily life it just shows how scared he was by it.
Chapter 3-Wwhen the soldiers invaded the town it didn’t surprise me that the government soldiers abandoned ship. I don’t understand why they would have set up the artillery in only one place and if you only put it in one place why put it by the river. I’m surprised that the soldiers chased the villagers even after they escaped the village. I cant believe they ran for so long at a dead sprint without getting tired

I completly agree with you. Although it is a good story it is depressing and gory but I am glad Beah, his brother, and their friend made it safe the second time they went to the village when the rebels were there after they captured them!
I think you are absolutl right cole. i was grossed out by the gore but it was releiving to know they made it through the raids
