. In these two chapters, things seemed to be getting better for Ishmael. In another way though, they seemed to be getting worse. When it seemed as if he had left the violence of the war, he was put back in it. This time though, it was in a UNICEF compound. It was between the kids now. One of the groups of boys were rebels and the other group of boys were soldiers. To Ishmael though, things didn't seem to get better at all. I think it was more the reader that felt better. Ishmael wanted to fight, but the readers felt bad for him and were happy that he might not get hurt anymore. They were wrong, because the fighting continued. It was also pretty harsh when the boys were going through withdrawal of drugs. They weren't in there right state of minds at some points. After a while, they started to get better and it looked like (to the reader still) that things were improving a little bit. The boys still got in fights and they still lashed out on the people that worked in the compound. No matter how badly the workers were treated, they seemed to be ok with it, because they knew that they had just gone through something that would scar the boys for life. The boys also seemed to be happy when they went to the city a lot. I'm not quite sure what is going to happen next, but I hope things will start to improve even more.
