New Experiences

Chapters 19-20 were filled to the brim with a funny and interesting interpretation of city life.  Ishmael really shined in these chapters because you get to see at how he is still a child.  He still has new and exciting things lying ahead for him. Especially when he doesn't even know how to operate a elevator which is as simple as breathing for us.  His journey however wasn't all fun and games.  While he spoke of his conferences I was glad to hear at how he was a happy to know that he wasn't alone in his journey to help children around the world.  He also met children who had to struggle to survive like he did which helped him to open up and speak his opinion.  I thought it was also funny at how he didn't know what snow was or how he had interpreted New York as a place worse than Sierra Leone.  I believe that this trip was welled deserved for Ishmael.  Even if his uncle has a hard time believing that he actually left to New York.
