Unit 10 Lesson 4 Ibrahim Wrap-up

Read the excerpt from “Ibrahim.”

We didn’t need Malik to translate that. We stopped and Ibrahim got out and sprinted down the street, still shouting. Ahead, a woman about my age walked in the opposite direction. When she heard Ibrahim's voice, she turned. I will never forget the look on her face.

What is Mary most likely thinking in this moment?

• As a mother, Mary relates to the woman’s feelings of great relief and joy when she sees her son.

• Because Ibrahim is running and yelling, Mary worries the woman will think they have harmed him.

Read the excerpt from “Ibrahim.”

As he ate and drank, I returned to the Humvee. Lieutenant Ramirez stood outside it.

“I know what you’re gonna say, Bolger. I can’t authorize it.”

“So we’ll leave him?” I asked. “What’ll happen then, sir?”

“There could be hundreds of kids in his situation.”

“We didn’t find them,” I said. “We found him.”

He sighed; I continued: “If we leave him, he could get hit by a car. He could starve. Striped hyena live out here. We’re here to help these people, right, sir?”

Again, Lieutenant Ramirez was a good man. Minutes later, we were bumping along in the Humvee, Ibrahim seated on my lap.

What does this say about Mary?

• She thinks of others' welfare before her own.

• She dislikes taking orders from people in authority.
