Due to the war, Ishmael needs to react in a certain way for him to stay alive. During all of chapter eight, it is just Ishmael reacting to what the war has come down to for him. He is all by himself in a forest and has to find ways to survive. In order to stay alive, Ishmael needs to find food, water, and somewhere to sleep fast. So to conquer his hunger Ishmael finds a tree with fruits on it and eats those for breakfast, lunch, and dinner almost everyday. Ishmael has also not showered in days, so he finds a type of grass that could be used as soap and uses water to wash it off. He does this to his clothes as well since he has been wearing the same ones for days. To get sleep, Ishmael climbed up trees and used their branches as a bed. Life has thrown him so many things at Ishmael and he has found solutions to solve them. The war is just the start of Ishmael’s problems now he just needs react the correct way. …show more content…

Ishmael is so young, only twelve years old, and has already faced problems I may never even have to deal with within my lifetime. In chapter eight, Ishmael was faced with hunger, dehydration, lack of shelter, and was chased by multiple animals. This can be really hard to deal with and accept. When faced with adversity you must stay on the positive side. Looking on the bright side can motivate someone to get through their problems. In chapter eight, Ishmael was thinking about a saying his dad always used to say. This saying motivated Ishmael to keep going and stay alive.
“When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Take a step back, stay strong, stay grounded and press on.” --LL Cool J
