The ground shakes so hard, and people get hurt
Answer:
Ishmael, his brother, and their friends walk for days in hunger and silence. They pass through abandoned villages and see houses ransacked and dead bodies everywhere. Their hunger becomes all-consuming, and they are forced to return to Khalilou's house for money and provisions. They find the house destroyed, but Ishmael's tiny bag of money is still stashed under the foot of the bed.
To seek safety, the group must cross a clearing filled with dead bodies. During the crossing, something falls out of a pocket and makes enough noise to alert the rebel guards in a nearby tower. Ishmael, who has already reached the other side, watches his brother pretend to be dead among the bodies so that the guards don't shoot.
Though the boys now have money to buy food, they find that the neighbors in the nearby villages won't sell to them. Either there aren't enough provisions or the villagers are stashing supplies for their own later struggle to survive. Ishmael and his band steal food in the night.

Analysis
Throughout this chapter, Ishmael's group faces struggles they've never encountered: terror, starvation, and desperation. They try to make logical decisions, such as returning to Khalilou's house to get money to buy food, but they find that logic isn't as useful during war. War brings constant change, and there is no control over the outcome. Their desperation leads them to steal food from strangers, which is something they'd never have considered before the war. Ishmael reveals their theft in the last line of the chapter as if his guilt and shame remain
I imagined myself as David. So as per question,:-
" <em>If I had seen Miss Betsy Trotwood mistreating David's mother, .i.e., my mother, then i would feel to mistreat her back and take revenge. But i cant. This is because I have to accept Miss Betsy Trotwood as a guest and mother. Also, Pegotty would feel bad for mistreating Betsy as she is the lady of my mother's new would-be husband. </em>
<em> It means that infront of everyone, i would be doing an immoral behaviour by taking revenge on my aunt. I can even be told to leave the house at the moment. I also am a boy younger and unmatured than her. </em>
<em>But after going to Salem's, I would come back and tell her how rude she was to my mom and me because now I have been matured and would have a power to talk back.</em> "
This is what I would have done.
