Ch 19&20, a Long Way Gone

I was so happy that things started to go well for Ishmael in these chapters. I love that Ishmael's uncle was so inviting and allowed him into the family so easily. I also respect that the uncle didn't say anything to his cousins, because I think they would judge Ishmael and then treat him differently. Allie became good friends with Ishmael, as well. I really like how Ishmael went to America. He finally gets a chance to start over, go to school, and get a new life. I was really upset about Mohamed. I can't believe that after going though rehab, he gets sent back out to the front lines. This seemed totally unfair and how could the people at UNICEF let that happen? I hope that Mohamed is okay and survives the war again. I wish the book went on further, because I don't feel like it's ready to end soon.
