Paragraph: 3
Response: Every night Ishmael and his friends dream about the same thing. They feel like they have been wounded by a gun or a knife. Since Ishmael and his friends weren't in the war zone, they still felt like they were in it. Ishmael always saw blood on the ground everywhere he goes. The only way Ishmael can avoid all of this trouble, is when he moves out of the town. Since he he has not continue, he will continue live in fear.
Significance: I had never had a come to terms with death. If I was Ishmael, I would run away. Although, it is hard to avoid dreams, dreams have a purpose. In Ishmael's case his fears is a big part of his life. His fears may consume his dreams but his desire is to be safe.
Question: Have you ever had a bad dream where you can't go back to sleep?
Quote:" In that village there are lots of people from Mattru Jong and the Sierra Rutile mining areas," Ishmael said.

Paragraph: 1
Response:Ishmael finally got out of SIerra Leone and Mattru Jong. He can finally take his mind off of his recurring dreams of being stab. Ishmael has not seen the rebels in a while. All of the boys band together so they can have each others back.
Significance: I never ran away out of town. I try to avoid problems I think that is too big to handle. If I was Ishmael, I would go even farther than he traveled.
Question: Do you believe in safety in numbers?
