What leads Ishmael to violence? Predict how “violence” will change as far as Ishmael is concerned from this point in the novel forward?

When Beah reaches the house his family had been staying in, he sees the burnt-out hut and begins kicking its walls in rage and shock. The other boys are forced to pull him away. Once he recovers from his undirected rage, Beah concludes that if Gasemu had not delayed them, he would have seen his family. He attacks Gasemu, eventually striking him with a pestle. The other boys hold Beah back again; Beah’s anger infects them and they turn on one another, some blaming Gasemu for their not rejoining their parents, while others defend Gasemu as innocent of any intentional harm. Gasemu intervenes to stop the fighting, insisiting that “None of this is anyone’s fault.”
