A Long Way Home Ch.7&8
In the beginning of chapter 7 Ishmael and his Friends are in Kamator another village where the rebels have not been yet. 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. So Ishmael did leave and has walked for six days and has been sleeping in abandoned villages.

As i was reading this, it reminded me of the movie Hotel Rwanda, a movie about a hotel manager who had decided to help out and house thousands of Tutsi refuges to protect them form Hutu militia. It was a really good movie, so for me the book kinda resembles this movie it must be a really good book as well. It makes me want to read it.
