In this chapter Beah describes the gradual indoctrination of young boys into the ways of warfare. This is ironic because boys should be playing rather than fighting in a war.

Jabati briefly discusses the book he is reading, Julius Caesar, It is ironic that this man who teaches Beah to kill is also a Shakespeare fan.
