Expert TextExpert Text The rebels are not freeing the country. First
of all, they are evil, which is clear the way they cut offpeoples body parts, burn villages, and destroy thecountryside. Second,they are causing chaos andkidnapping people. They are imprisoning, not freeing
people. That is definitely not freedom. Third, andmost importantly,the country seemed free before therebels from Ishmaels memories. He was happy andhad pleasant memories of his grandmother and familyoverall. He did not seem to need any more freedom.In closing, the rebels are evil terrorists, causing chaoseverywhere they go and should be punished. Theyare definitely not freedom fighters,
but just punks who think theyre tough because they
have guns.
