But after some days passed they heard that the rebels where on the way to the town so everybody started to vet worry so some people went and packed things to take with them and took them to the forest where they where going to be hiding. After they saw that they where not coming people went back to the town and they heard that the rebels were coming but they didn't believe it this time. So one day while the town was doing the last prayer of the day the rebels came in but they didn't act like rebels but like normal people. The one that new they were in town was a friend of Ishmael and he went to tell people that the rebels where in the town in the place they were praying but the imam(priest) didn't wanted to get bother so everybody left and left him there. While people were running for their life's Ishmael and his friends split apart because they didn't have time to go to the bush that they were all suppose to meet for when the rebels came to the town. After everybody left they asked the Imam that where were the people hiding but he wouldn't tell them so they tied his hands and feet and tied him to a pole and burned him. As days passed Ishmael kept waiting in the bush that he was suppose to meet his friends and brothers but only one friend got their and he didn't know where the ones could of been at. After a couplee of more days Ishmael decided to leave and his friend didn't wanted to go with him because he was scared of getting caught by the rebels and getting killed.

A long Way Home Ch.2,3

In chapter 2 Ishmael and his friends go back to their town and saw that people were on the floor dead. Ishmael feels like throwing up and that moment because he sees peoples guts coming out of their bodies. He also sees the river really red and dead mosquito's in it. And since the town needed help to dig all the bodies, Ishmael had to help around and he got to see more dead people then what a Young kid has to see.
In chapter 3 Ishmael is more worried about his father because he still doesn't know anything about him. And the rebels are in some town near where Ishmael is at and they are sending letters saying that they are going on their way to the town. But after a couple of days the rebels didn't show up but the people were still scared. Till one day that they send a priest saying that everybody had to leave or else the rebels were going to kill them all. But then again days passed and still the rebels didn't show up. Till one day that Ishmael was cooking he heard a gun shut but he thought that it was the soldiers trying their guns out but then he started to hear more gun shuts and people yelling. So he and his friends ran to the river and swam across it to hid in the forest. Some of the rebels went after the people that were going to the forest and they did manage to capture some people. Some other rebels were after Ishmael and his friends but they didn't get caught because they were to fast for the rebels.

Night Runner



The thing that got me more surprised about the book was that the main character was in a mental place and he got really bad when his dad died. When his dad died he went into a coma and when we woke up is when his whole life changed because he couldn't eat regular food and couldn't be near the light of the sun. He thought that he was lone and didn't have any family alive till one day his uncle Maximilian went to see him and told him things that he didn't know. He told him that his dad died because he was murdered and that he was a vampire hunter and that it was a vampire who killed him. He also told him why he was so different after his dad died. He told him that before the vampire died he sucked his blood to give him power and to to dig underground so he escaped. He told him that he was in coma because he was bitten by the vampire so he told him that he was acting different because he was now a vampire.
