Summary: In these pages of the Unheard Josh experiences another traumatic event, his first being the man being dragged all over the village. It was already dark out, the moon wasn't in sight and a man comes into the clinic, the one Josh works in part time, with a boy in his hands. It was the man's son. The man came into the clinic and placed his fifteen year old son on a table. When the man came in he was immediately taken care of they examined the injury and explained what had happened. The boy had stole a fish from someone else's net in the river and so they "swung an ax through the back of his leg." The ax went through the skin and the muscles, and it stopped against the kneecap. But that was not the only problem. The clinic did not have the materials to amputate the leg and even if they did they did not have the capabilities to do so. but they did have a chance of gettting someone who could. they would just have to wait for the abulance whwen it came back around. When it did pass though it was full of fish and there was no space for the boy so josh who has started going though a fit of anger threw enough bags of fish out and yelled at the drivers.
Quote: "I turned my hearing aids off" pg 149
Reaction: Many times during the book Josh deliberatly turns of his hearing aids. He turns it off when he's sleeping, when there is no point of hearing anything, and when he is angry. Josh uses his disabliity to his advantge to get away.
