We barley escaped with our lives. But not all of us, Gasemu was shot and he bled out. We tried to stop the blood but he had lost so much it was already too late. Alhaji closed Gasemu's eyes. I couldn't sleep that night after what happened to Gasemu. A lot was going through my head, like my family being dead and when this war will be over. But one though stuck with me. Where would I go after all of this? I had no family to look after me, and I had no home to go back to. I didn't mean to hit Gasemu in the nose I was just so angry that I didn't get to see my family one last time. But I knew I had to continue, for my family.
Dear Dad, I guess this will be my last letter to you .I went looking for you at the house and another village to see if you guys were still here.When I saw the body lying on the ground side by side that's when I found out you and Junior , Mama are all gone . When I heard the news I couldn't believe it was reality . It is so hard to accept the fact you are not here . But I am going to try to hold my head high and carry on . As time move past another one of my friends in the group died . This was a painful death to witness. I wish you the best in heaven and hope that nothing bad as come your way . Just know dad I'm okay and ill be safe . I just want you to know how bad my experiences have been . I don't want to witness this Gasemu's death has my knees shaking . I did not want to witness another death .
Dear Junior, I almost got to see you and the rest of our family today. My group and Gasemu shouldn't have stopped at that hill we should have kept going. My only wish is that I could have seen you for one last time even if I was to die seconds later. I will miss everything about you like you smile, your laugh, and the way you would mess my hair up. I will miss us rapping together and dancing. Junior I am extremely sorry I should have got to you. I should be with you and the rest of the family. I will give anything to be with you again. I hope you didn't die sorry and that it was quick and painless. But I wish you and our family could continue this path of fate with me. I love you Junior and the rest of our family. I am sorry I can't be with you. From, Ishmael.
In chapter 11 Ishmael's perspective is the power of nature. th power of nature is a constant force on Ishmael's journey. He spends his evenings walking. Also he feels that the moon is a constant companion. On moonless nights he is uncomfortable and frightened, Because the boys walk in silence, their senses have become keener (dead). The noise of nature is pervasive, and the forest both protects them from attacks and hide their attackers. They listen to the leaves for danger. They assess the wind for threats.
Dear Saidu, I wish I can say I have good news but I don't, In a sense I'm glad that you have passed away just so you didn't have to go through anymore tromatyzing things. We have made it to the village where my family is supposed to be and there were but not for too long. Just before we arrived to the village i saw an old friend from back home named gasemu, he told me that both my parents and my brother were still alive and at the village ahead. He starts to walk us down until we here gunshots and people screaming. we rush down but its too late most everybody is dead including my parents. We never found them but most of the bodies were faced down and we didn't want to check. The rebels start to chase us after we ran away, we were running for house before they decided to give up on catching us. after we had finally stopped Gasemu dropped and stated to roll in pain. we later found out that there were bullet wounds on the back of his right leg and o his side. We tried to save him but is wasn't enough. Gasemu died. I'm sorry i didn't write a goodbye letter sooner but I was so happy to see my family I forgot I never got to say goodbye. Goodbye saidu
Dear Mamma and papa I don't know what else to do hearing you guys are gone has me very sad and upset. Now i have to dell with one of my friends dieing in font of my face like i am convert up in his blood. I'm literally sobbing just come back i dont know what im gonna do now that your gone. Hearing you guys were alive had me very motivated.
The way Ishmael felt seeing the rebels with blood all over there clothes and smke coming out of there guns wasn't the greatest feel in the world. See died body laying on the floor pouring out the blood of the bullet wounds. Ishmael felt guilty for stop for a break with Gasemu . Ishmael wanted to be with his family so Ishmael Stopped taking a break and ran down the hill. Once he was going down the hill he heard loud gun shots "bang" "bang" coming from the village and Gasemu told Ishmael to come back but he didn't. Gasemu followed Ishmael down the hill and one Ishmael saw died bodies on the floor laying in a line he went into the village in search for his mom and two brothers but couldn't find them.So Ishmael over heard the rebels saying "We caught everyone. No one escaped. and Ishmael started to cry But Ishmael made a sudden noise and two of the rebels started to take cover and one started to walk over to where Ishmael and Gasemu were at and The two boys statred running away and the rebel started shooting at the two boys ran away and Ishmael and Gasemu hid somewhere and Gasemu saw blood dripping from his leg and and he was losing a lot of blood and died and Ishmael felt responsible and went into a bll and started to cry.
