a long way gone number 5

This chapter was very long but I did not think much happened in it. I thought that the only major event was that saidu dies. I think he died from eating the crow that fell out of the sky. It was very sad though when they were telling the stories about what happened to their families. Especially the ones whose sisters got raped and then his whole family were taken away. I thought it was very strange how the dogs kept howling. It made me think that the rebels were going to attack while they were sleeping. I don’t see why he told that story about the spider either. I did not see what that had to do with the main story. I was also happy that there were no gory parts in this chapter.
