Chapter 21

this was very heart breaking to read after being away from the war and being "normal" for so long the war finally got back to ishmeal. the soldiers started fighting in the city and it reminded me of the beginning of the book where it was all running and being afraid. the worst part was that ishmeal knew that if he didnt get out of the country that he would be killed or join the army again. and during all of this ishmeals uncle got very sick and died which was also very sad because it was just another person on the list of people that ishmeal had lost because of the war. so while all this was happening he decided he had to get out so he took a night bus out of the country and finally made it to new york once again.
