I was surprised to learn that they have scars to know in what type of village they are in. It also shows me how lucky we are to have a good home and a good country. This also shows me that it difficult in other places that it is hard to live. It surprises me that how people that do not know each other can help each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see more innocent people getting hurt by people who just don care.

# data[].attributes.body
This book so far is reminding me to  appreciate the peace we have in America. I'm surprised to learn how the children could hear gunshots while at school.

# data[].attributes.body
If that were me in that situation I would fight back with my parents I wouldn't just run away

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the book is quick to action, it makes the book more attention grabbing.

# data[].attributes.body

I wonder how it would feel like the kid or the girl to get the water but I know how it feels.
