Blog three- trust issues

Trust issues are very easily created and very hard to out grow in human nature. When one person does something to loose your trust, it is very hard for you to trust them again. If multiple people do the same thing to loose your trust, your over all trust in humanity plummets like submarine. For example, if I told my friend a secret that she then told other people, I wouldn't trust her with another of my secrets. Now lets say I told my other friend a different secret and they told other people too! I would, in turn, not trust anyone with my secrets, even if I had never met them. Beah experiences this same sort of thing on a much larger and more sensitive scale. After seeing how absolutely horrific many people are to each other, he doubted that anyone was good anymore. After seeing how many of those people use to be on his side, he doubted will power. And after seeing what he was capable of, he doubted himself.

    I think you were right on when you talked about how easy it is for Ishmael to loose trust in all humanity.I think this is why the symbol of the moon is so important to him. I probably would not have seen it this way. Thank you
