My feeling about chapters 6-7 was sadness. I thought that these chapters were mostly on how he felt. I felt sad because the rebels destroyed the life of everyone in Sierra Leone. I also felt sad because Ishmael and Junior were separated and never saw each other ever again. I was also sad because a twelve-year-old boy was thought to be dangerous, and can’t be trusted. I think that Ishmael was heartbroken because he lost his friends and siblings because of the rebels. I felt sad for the imam because once the prayer was started, nothing could be said unless it was related to the prayer, so everyone left quietly so the imam was the only person in the mosque, and was killed.
I found it amazing that he was able to climb that coconut tree that one time, and that was the only food there, and wasn’t able to climb coconut trees again. I felt bad for Ishmael and his friends because they had to move in the bushes so they wouldn’t be harmed by the villagers.

It was not only his friends and his siblings, it was also his parents too. It felt bad for him as well, but this a depressing book. I mostly felt sorry for him because he lost all contact with his family when he lost his brother. I also felt sad when imam’s friend watched him being killed.
I would agree--the scene with the imam is one of the worst for me.
