5.The medicine his grandpa made was to enhance his brain and help him learn and take in new information he made it by writing a special Arabic prayer on a slate with ink that was made of another medicine, he then washed it off with water and that water was put into a bottle and drunken.
6.The hardest part of being in the forest was having to watch out for any rebels or any dangerous animals like baboons.
7.Well a time I wished I could stop thinking was when I got locked up I tried and tried but could not stop thinking of all my problems and all my debts to society but it just wouldn’t work.
8.His life in the forest wasn’t that bad because he had where to take baths he had some kind of plant to use as soap he had a lot of ripe fruit around to eat so it was all good for him.
9.His spirit was turned alive when the wild boars came running through the forest and came back to chase him half a mile away.
10.He was able to tell what tribe they were from because of the marks on their cheeks and their features.
11.This quote means that they have seen so much ugly and bad things they kind of went crazy. They were forced to grow up because they had to take care of themselves and survive.

16.It is a risk to eat the strange fruit because he does not know if they are poisonous or not, but he figured if the birds eat them he can to.
