Post 4/Week 4

On page 70, Saidu, one of the boys says, “How many more times do we have to come to terms with death before we find safety?” He goes on to say, “Every time people come at us with the intention of killing us, I close my eyes and wait for death. Even thought I am still alive, I feel like each time I accept death, part of me dies. Very soon I will completely die and all that will be left is my empty body walking with you. It will be quieter than I am.” The old saying is that that which does not kill us makes us stronger. There are many things that can end up killing you slowly rather than building up strength. To me, it depends on how you view every situation that is presented to you. When you think awful things, then the results of your actions and behaviors and attitudes will alter permimently. it's important to remember why Saidu said that, it's only going to get harder for him and his friends. ifeel awful for them, they will barely be able to recover from what they have seen. There are definitely things that people will go throught that have to potential to either make them stronger or let it get to them. People need other people to help them through things like that, where Saidu barely talked, no one in the group ever really communicated.
