Chapter 4 - On the run and finding food

In chapter 4, we read that Ishmael and his friends try to survive the rebel attack while returning to Khililou's home. By using visualization, write about what you think the boys are:

1. seeing
2. smelling
3. hearing
4. feeling
5. tasting

* you must discuss all 5 senses in order to get the credit :)

  5. they see the dead body on the floor as they try to keep the small amount of food in there system. What they had that day was plantain, coconuts, and guava. As they passed by they try not vomit from the smell of bunt flesh and countles bodies that were torchered to the the point of death.What they hear is the still silence of death.
