"This way we would be safe and avoid causing chaos. This was one of the consequences of the civil war. People stopped trusting each other, and every stranger became an enemy. Even people who knew you became extremely careful about how they related or spoke to you."
If you were Ishmael, how would you feel? How have your thoughts about your friends and community change? What would you do differently now (example, how would you act different on a day to day basis)?
I would ask my friends and my community why they change their act. I'll understand if they're doing just protecting and that I can say "I agree". I bring a AK-47 and ask the solders which side are you. If they're the good i'll join them to walk with them to other side.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Ishmael, I would feel like an a stranger, but I wouldn´t think like an a stranger. I would think very careful before act differently because I would have few people to trust.
ReplyDeleteIf i were isshamel i would feel like an alien. like i did not belong in my own country. i would keep the people that are with me (junior and his friends) close by and watch to see if their behavior changes in any way because they might secretly be a rebel. i would just keep an eye out for people. you never know what they might do.
ReplyDeleteif i was Ishmael i would feel lost because i don't know who is a rebel and i would try not to interact with people and keep my friends and family close to protect them from harm
ReplyDeleteIf i was Ishmael i would feel uncomtfortable because every one around me doesnt trust each other. What i would do differently is watch out who i look at and the movements i do around different people
ReplyDeletei would feel really nervous because i am walking near all the rebals. At any time they can murder me
ReplyDeleteI would feel angry that they all began to act that way because I think everyone in the community should've stuck together and help one another.But at the same time I would feel like I should help my own family and myself first and I can't deny that I aswell would not trust anyone as much as I might have before.So I would distance myself from everyone else and watch my back.
ReplyDeletei would trust only certin people and i will be on gard because you will never know who might turn on you.
ReplyDeleteI will feel really bad, because there will be no one who will trust me. If i want to say something important and they doesn't trust me but it really happened. I think I would not talk to the stranger and be free with them, but i think i will trust my family and my best friends. I think i should be more careful around the people i live with. On the war you don't trust anyone, beside your self.
ReplyDeleteIf i were him, well i do give them reasons to act the way they do. i'll think that many of my kind have die and i would be a little terrify if some of the peoples i knew could be working in favor. Also i wouldn't just jump into conclusion and say "off with there heads" i'll search for prof like if they had there signs..
ReplyDeleteIf i were Ishmael i would be afraid for my life. I'd probably just keep to myself and only speak when directly spoken to.
ReplyDeleteI would not know what to do and i would be really scared because I would think that the rebals could kill me anytime that they want to.
ReplyDeleteI would probrably feel angry about it, if not I would probrably shoot every one in my way, i would shoot everyone that doubted me of being the same person, and shoot whoever didnt trust me because i would probrably not trust them myself, especially if i was ishmael
ReplyDeleteIf i were Ishmeal i would be very angry because i would feel like everyone i thought i trusted would be against me. I would feel very mad and unsafe, i will have a strong need to only look after myself and my brothers. If i were Ishmeal i would keep my distance from everyone.
ReplyDeleteI would take of every one more. I would ask people how they felt about this new life to figure out a differint perspective.
ReplyDeleteIf i was Ishmael and i realize that i could not even trust my friends i would feel very depressed,because i cannot tell anyone whats on my mind or my plans of survival.
ReplyDeleteif i was ishmael i would feel disappointed with the person because if i knew who the person was or if they were part of my village for many years it wouldnt give them the right of them not trusting me, especially if i was just 12 years old. if it was my friends i think they would be the only people i could trust at that moment because i wasnt in that situation alone, everybody as well and if i came encounter with someone i wouldnt judge them right away i would have to observe and make my decision about the person.
ReplyDeleteI would not know who to trust...I would would be aware of my surroundings more than ever.
ReplyDeleteMy mind would change in 360 degree. I would not ask my friends and community because i believe that the actions would say everything.
ReplyDeleteAaaah I dont reary understand this question but I're give you may manswer if I was ishmael thanks god i am not and ask a person a question during a war and they treated me like an stanger and a person thats connot be trusted i would feel intrusted, descriminated, and violated along obrivios.
ReplyDeletei would trust only people that i know really well. if they think that i am a changed person then they good just get off my friends list. the only thing i would change is just keeping my eyes open and watching out for my friends.
ReplyDeleteI would be very scared because i wouldn't be able to know what the rebels would do to me at any time
ReplyDeleteIf I were Ishmael I would feel scared and wierd. My thoughts about my friends and community would change because you don't know who to trust anymore and don't know if they can turn there back on you. What I would do differently is watch my back and be careful of who I'm around or who I bump into
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't trust stranger beacause i wouldn't know who was a rebel and i would try to aware of what and who surrounds me. I would onlytrust people i know and even though i would feel abandoned or even lost, i would keep moving on.
ReplyDeleteif i were in Ishmael shoes & i had to go through a bad experience with the trust of people i will feel alone since anyone is with me , i would feel confused because i dont know who to run to , to talk to. My thoughts would change in a way of not trusting no one if anyone cant trust me. My actions would change by not barely talking to anyone i dont know that isn't my family & always being alert of things not trying to meet new people and talk to them.
ReplyDeleteIf i were Ishmeal i would probably feel all alone and depressed no matter who is with me. I would be cautious to every one i didn't know. I would be careful when approaching towns.
ReplyDeletei would feel deppressed because ill see all the people suffering and ill also see someone getting shoot in the head.
ReplyDeleteI would think that this war needs to be put to an end soon, but I still wouldn't trust people for my own safety. I would change how I would trust people for now on.
ReplyDeletei would be kinda mad that my friends wouldn't chill with me but, i wouldn't care because it would be less of a chance i would get my self in danger, if they dont no me they cant say anything about me.
ReplyDeleteIf no one would trust me and every feared me then o would stay away so that people could live a little bit bettter
ReplyDeleteIf i was ishmael i would feel alone because now the people that i used to know aren't the same anymore. if i was to change for a day to day basis i would probably be alone and not really talk to anyone.
ReplyDeleteI would feel like I cant trust anyone and I'm alone by myself. This is exactly like the hunger games when you cant trust anyone.
ReplyDeleteGary Tse
I would try to do some thing to help other and try do do my best. I would ask people how they felt about this new life to figure out a differint perspective.
ReplyDeletei would keep an eye on people because you never know if one of the people might turn on you and i would watch out for rebels
ReplyDeletei would try to do anything a came to life my new life
ReplyDeleteWell I would feel like everybody is a hypocrit and I would put my guard up and be ready for any sorts of things. Also I would probably only talk to the people I truly trust.
ReplyDeletei would feel realy bad becouse i cant give my secrets to anyone and i will feel so lonely
ReplyDeleteWell I would feel like everybody is a hypocrite and I would put my guard up and be ready for any sorts of things. Also I would probably only talk to the people I truly trust.
ReplyDeleteWe need to realize and try to understand as best we can about what Ishmael is going through through out the book. Things like this would mess people up for the rest of their lives. Small things like this make everything worse. How would you be able to trust anyone, or even be able to possibly have conversation about what has happened. He is walking into a new life with a new look out on life, yes to know what is coming for him in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI know i would be scared our of my mind but will know who my friends are no matter what because unless i knew you for certain period of time you know I not going to even make i contact
ReplyDeleteI would try to trust my friends and my family, but maybe not the community. I would try to stay away from strangers and keep up with the people I know.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't trust anybody except for people I'm already close to, then I'd just run for my life and worry about myself now if they'd turn on me.
ReplyDeleteIf I was Ishmael's position, I would think and act more cautiosly because I wouldn't know how my freinds, and even my fsmily, would have changed from the war and current events that affected them. I would ask myself different questions and act more suspicious towards my family.
ReplyDeletei would trust my friends that were with me the whole time. I would trust my family because i was with them my whole life . They are my family.
ReplyDeleteI would feel cautious, and paranoid. I would trust all my friends as much as I do now and I would rely on my family the most. But if there were strangers coming in to the village, I wouldn't trust them since I know nothing about them.
