Quote#1:"The belt buckle had a lion on it it was my favorite." Pg. 215, Ishmael
Significance: I think this is important because this can lead to something that isn't good, like the bus could get attack, and his pants might fall and he could trip and get caught and then get killed or go back in to the army.
Personal Connection: I had my Game boy color taken away from me and I never saw it again, I gave it to this kid because he said he would fix it and he just took it from me. It was like Ishmael when he got his belt taken away.
Question#1: Did you get anything taken away from you and you never saw it again?
Quote#2:" If you shoot me, your mother will die, and if you don't, your father will die."Pg.217 Monkey/Ishmael
Significance: I think that every kid had to chose something that would affect their lives forever. Ishmael had to do chose and he turned out fine.
Personal Connection: I had to pick something that I wish that I could go back and chose the other thing. Ishmael wish he could go back and not have killed all those people.
Question#2: Did you ever have to chose between something that would change your life?

Response #1: I think that you did a good job with foreshadowing something bad to happen, because I hadn't thought of that the first time I read that quote in the book. I liked how you connected to it with your game boy because game boy colors aren't something that you can replace with a new one, just like Ishmael's belt.
Question #1: I had lent my favorite movie, that I had watched almost twice a week every week when I was five, to a friend. When they told me they were going to return it, the next day they moved to Canada... with the movie.
Response #2: I like your interpretation of this quote because I had also chose a quote that was around the same moment and had a different interpretation of it. I think that the choice was easy for Ishmael to make because he had already lost his parents and didn't want any other person to go through that either.
Question #2: I have had to make tough decisions but never anything life changing.
Quote #1: I agree with you that its predicting a bad outcome. I think this quote also symbolizes how easily things get taken away from him.
Question #1: I lent a nintendo Ds game to one of my friends a long time ago and she never returned it. Now we go to different schools and I don't see her as often and I keep forgetting to ask for it back.
Quote #2: I agree with you. I shose a quote that was similar, but I never thought of this like the way you did.
Question #2:A few years ago, something happened to one of my lungs that made me sick for a while, and I had to decide whether or not to go to the hospital. I chose to go to the hospital and I think it made me healthier so I think that made my life different.
