From this section, you get a deeper understanding of how much suffering Ishmael has gone through. You notice that throughout this part, he keeps to himself and is more of an introvert. He doesn't show his emotions and isn't very happy about anything because he believes happiness is too fragile, which is understandable. He basically changes back into innocent child after the rehabilitation from remorseless killer.
What Esther has done for Ishmael and the other child soldiers is very remarkable to me. To deal with the initial hatred that the boys have towards her and to get through to them after a while takes a lot of patience, sincerity, and determination. She really believes in her cause to rehabilitate the kids.
It made me a little happier that Ishmael's uncle turned out to be alive and so glad to see him and be with him. He is so ready to accept him into his family. His family is also very accepting of him. What I wonder, though, is now Ishmael will end up in New York. Hopefully, something bad won't happen with his foster family that makes this happen. I really hope the story gets happier from here on out.
