He starts of by saying that he asked women what it means to be a women and they said it can mean whatever they want, but “For men, the question is still meaningful– and powerful” (469).
I concluded to myself that if I were the hunter, I would shoot the monkey so that it would no longer have the chance to put other hunters in the same predicament” (Beah 218). This foreshadowing shows that Ishmael would step up to stop more boys becoming a soldier. He didn’t avoid the question, instead he will choose to sacrifice his valuable one, and to stop this routine that way the monkey won’t hurt more people. Ishmael knows it’s difficult to stop this just like it’s difficult to stop boys getting involved in the war. Ishmael’s experience and his perseverance will help the boys walk out from the war, and stop more boys from becoming a
