One intriguing part in the book was when Tu Reh was talking to his father when they just found Chiko in the jungle. They were talking about killing this enemy of theirs. Tu Reh's father gave Tu Reh a rifle to shoot Chiko but he couldn't do it. He told his father he is just a boy the age of me, I cant shoot him. So his father told him to carry him to the healers hut. Tu Reh thought this was outrageous to carry an enemy to a place they were trying to destroy.
