What Is The What

Chapters 19-20
Things changed in the refugee camp and many people began going to the camp in Bonga to train to become soldiers. People were dying in the camp, they were exhausted and not fed enough, yet more and more boys went there to become soldiers. All the boys at the camp were scared to go to the forest, they feared they'd be eaten, so they picked a beating instead. Every boy loved when his cooking day came, they didn't have to go to school or work, they just cooked. Everyone was being kicked out of the camp in Ethiopia, so they had to run across the river and try to escape to Pochalla. After Dut helps Valentino across the river, they find Achor Achor and Dut leaves the two of them to find their way while he goes back to help. On the way there, Valentino and Achor Achor walk with two other boys. They see an Ethiopian woman who yells for them to come to her, the two boys go, only to get shot. Achor Achor and Valentino run. They find a baby and they call it the Quiet Baby for how quiet it is. It begins to ran very heavily.

  1. Be careful to avoid plot summary! I already know what the book is about, I'm more interested in your experience of reading it.
