Response:
This quote shows how he always thinks about what might happen from his actions. He was invited to eat with "the cool kids" But he turned them down and now he is trying to go and sit down with them but he is trying to figure out how he can do this with out looking like a total fool.
Question:
Do you think about the consequences of your actions before you do it?

I chose this quote because it shows how these boys spirit wouldn't be crushed. They wanted their people to be freed and they were singing a song that describes every thing that they will do.

Quote:
"What happened to him" William K. asked. "Go away, mumbled the solider". William persisted."Was he shot".
Response:
I chose this quote because it shows how they had many casualties in this war and the boys were curious about what the soldiers were doing. The solider guy was pretty calm with his answer back to William so he should consider himself lucky because maybe he could have got made and tried to shoot William.
Question:
Would you push to find out what happened to the solider?
Quote:
"So were you part of the genocide? Victims of that?"
Response:
I chose this quote because it shows he people can be ignorant sometimes. She asked them if they were in the genocide just because they are from Africa. It is an okay question but sometimes you need to be careful with what kind things you should say to somebody, because what if he lost somebody in his family to the genocide. He would be really sad.
Question:
Have you ever asked somebody a question that made them get mad?
