Chapter 2

Imagine yourself in Salva's "shoes," how would you feel if you had just run away from the awful situation of gun fire at school and ended up in a random location with unfamiliar faces?  What thoughts or emotions would be going through your head if a gun was pointed in your face and you were given direct orders from a soldier?

  4. Nya: I think nya family is very poor, and she doesn't ware shoes and she has to be strong because she have to get water and it takes her half of the day.

    Slava: The government was not doing the right thing (forcing the rebels and the people to believe in Islam. And the rebels weren't doing the right thing too they were forcing men to be in their group. Also, When the rebels wanted to choose from the the people they wanted all of the woman,kids,elders to go from the other side to not see where the men are going.In fact, When salva wanted to go on the men side they pulled him to the woman side because he was a kid they didn't want him to see where the men was going (Putting a gun in his face.

  6. I would be scared because if a gun was pointed to my face i would fell scared because no one should have a gun in their face. Especially from someone who wants to take all the men to war. And i think its wrong to take away or split up family members. What about the elderly they really can't protect themselves. And the women they have not been to school all they know how to do is, Clean. And Salva was the only kid there.

    1. I really like your point about the elderly. They truly cannot protect themselves and now they are put into a dangerous situation.

  7. If I was stuck in a place with people I don't know I would be terrified. I would be scared because The rebels would be after me and I am with strangers who I don't whether to trust or not. If a gun was pointed at my head I would be thinking "I'm going to die! What did I do to deserve this!"

  12. If that was me in salva situation I would feel very scared if I had a gun pointed to my face because I would think that he would shoot me or do something bad and I would not think that he would be using the gun to direct me where to go. I would feel terrified if I had just run away from home because I wouldn't know were I am going especially when my parents are not there with me and there are not familiar faces around.

    1. I too would be terrified to run away from home. However, I would be more than willing to run to save myself. Sometimes you have to take care of yourself before you can worry about others.

    1. How would you feel with the gun pointed in your face? Would you have stood there strong and waited until you were given direction, or would you have started running and possibly been shot?

      Delete
    2. i would care for one another and your right anyone who is running is most likely to be a friend and not a rebel

      Delete
    3. i would wait because he may not see you as a threat to them and if you run then there is a better chance that he may punish you or shoot you

  14. Being in Salva's position would scare me, Because going with a people that I don't know, Trying to runway with these people,Having a gun in my face? I would really feel sacred, Will my life going to end just like that? Will I ever see my family again?

  15. I would feel frightened and confused because if I'm ever in a large area with my parents and I suddenly lose them, I'd be terrified. Sometimes I can get shy when I see new faces, but seeing these new faces that will abuse or harass me is even worse. If a gun was pointed at my face, I'd be scared listen to the soldier to keep myself safe. But really, I wouldn't want to listen to the soldier because they don't even know me. So what right do they have to boss me around telling me what to do. Either way, I'd would wonder why he would be pointing that gun at me, what did I ever do to him?!

  16. I would most likely collapse and cry.
