blog post 3

Quote 1“Is there an end to this madness, and is there any future for him beyond the bushes?”
This is what ishmael asked himself when he was facing death. This relates to question #5 except it is in his home country. I can't relate to this because i have never faced death in the way that ishmael has. Plus he must have been very strong to overcome and not break down.
Quote 2They had run so far away from the war, only to be caught back in it. There is nowhere to go from here.” This just shows that war can go anywhere and will find you if you were once part of it at some point in your life. Also you cant think you are free until you are out of that country. I cant relate to this because i have never been affected war only emotionally. Questions Have you ever been affected by war? Have you ever asked yourself a really meaningful question.

Lit Circles Post two.

Quote #1 Morbrilla asked what day it was. We all thought about it for a while, trying to remember the name of the last day when our lives normal.
I thought this related to question #5 accept its what hardships do they face at home. Because you know its bad when you don't even know what day it is. That to me is a hardship. They have been so worried about staying alive that the boys cant remember the day. I cant really relate to this quote because even if i forget the day there is other people and calenders to remind me.
Question Would you freak out if you forgot the day and no-one would tell you?
Quote #“We must strive to be like the moon.” This quote means that people complain about the sun a lot but know-one complains about the moon. So be on a good behavior and know-one will complain about you. I can relate to this because i am usually on a good behavior when i need to be.
Question Are you like the moon sometimes.
