The entire time that I was reading this book I kept thinking about what it would be like to live in war. All the scenes that Ishmael writes about are very graphic and tragic. I just feel that if I had to see those moments, that Ishmael lived through, I wouldn't be able to live on. Those moments of seeing death would scar my life forever. Even though Ishmael saw many people die he continued on to try to find safety.
At a young age of 15 Ishmael had to step up to the plate in order to survive and find a safe place away from the war. For most of the novel Ishmael walk for days with hardly any food and water. Most of us today don't even know what it's like to miss a meal so how can we even relate to such a thing. I don't feel that we can really relate to what Ishmael goes through because kids today pretty much get whatever they want. I think that we all need to stop taking things for granted and we should be thankful for what we already have.
