The following quotations are important at various points of the story (Sarah
Crichton Books, Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2007):
1. “We must strive to be like the moon.”
(pg, 16; When Ishmael asked his grandmother what the old man meant by
this quote, she said it was an adage that served to remind people to always
be on their best behavior and to be good to others. People complain when
there is too much sun and the again when it is too cold. However, no one
grumbles when the moon shines, because a lot of happy things happened
in the moonlight.
2. “This is one of the consequences of the civil war. People stop
trusting each other, and every stranger becomes an enemy.”
(pg. 37; Here Ishmael emphasizes how relationships with other people
became corrupted as the result of war.).............
.......... 19. “They had run so far away from the war, only to be
caught back in it. There is nowhere to go from here.”
(pg. 207; Ishmael has this thought when war comes to Freetown.)
