The Hunter

I have to admit I was surprised when the government let the prisoners go and give them weapons! I didn't know exactly why that was.  I felt bad for Ishmael however, because he had struggled so hard to get away from the war but it keeps coming back to him.  The the worst happens.... his uncle is killed and he blames himself a little.  He doesn't understand why everyone he loves and cares about dies, yet he lives.  Luckily he doesn't go over the edge but rather turns that energy into escaping the city.  There were moments when I thought he would be caught but he managed to make it to the city and I'm guessing to New York.  Judging by how he has written this book that he has lead a successful life both by living it and by informing others about the horrors going on in Africa even today.  I hope that his progress has helped to save many lives and I am wishing him luck for his future and success. Ishmael Beah has become a hunter so that no one has to be a boy soldier.
