When the chief commanded the guards to search their pockets, one of them finds a rap cassette in Ishmael’s pocket. The chief plays the cassette, but he does not understand what “this foreign music” was so he calls for a boy who lives in that village (38). Ishmael is surprised to find that the boy “knew my name, my brother’s, and those of my friends. He remembered us from performances we had done. None of us knew him, not even by his face, but we warmly smiled as if
I halted and held my breath.” (Beah, 35) This is when the rebels invaded a village he was in and started shooting at him. You can sense the terror that he felt when he was shot at. Later, when Ishmael is recruited to the army, he has the same feeling towards guns. “He gave me the gun. I held it in my trembling hand.
Although the boy’s parents’ hesitate to welcome it to their home and state that the lost thing is “filthy” and “might have strange diseases” the boy still provides it a hidden shelter and food to eat. ➢ Shean contrasts the appearance of the creature in size, shape and color with others in the urban environment to demonstrate how people do not belong in society because of their indifferences. This reflects they way in which physical disparities can potentially become barriers to belonging. An example of this would that all the humans in this book are the same; pale skin, straight eyebrows and elongated faces. In comparison other characters and creatures in the book are seen to have odd appearances.

Cesar urged non-violence in the union because he didn’t want to be just like the white field owners. I like how Cesar successfully ended the grape business in Europe, and got the field owners to give up and listen. Cesar’s indignation showed when he fasted for 23 days. Cesar felt that the farm workers were providing most of the food in the country, and the fact that the workers couldn’t even manage to feed themselves or their families was unjustifiable. I loved that Cesar never stopped even though he knew the movement hurt his family at times.

The things that he was forced to do would have brought many grown men around the world to their knees, but instead, he kept on going. Beyond pain and suffering, he trudged on. A dream he had after their first experience in combat led to his not sleeping for an entire week. “I had a dream that I was picking up Josiah from the tree stump and a gunman stood on top of me. He placed his gun on my forehead.
Could you image if we did not have a curtain level of justice in our country? While in the military I have been to places that have very different outlooks of justice. For example in Iraq if you are caught stealing, or are accused of it, you do not have a trial, or even a say in it. I once say a little boys hand purposely being run over because they say he stole a loaf of bread to feed his younger brothers. There is nothing you can do, because they were not hurting us, nor were they killing him.
