Question

"Mitch had sacrificed himself so I could live, so I had to live. It was the only thing left I could do for him" (7). How important is this commitment Frenchie makes to Mitch – that he will live? Why does this commitment seem so big?

Answer 1

Mitch made Frenchie make a promise to survive and escape from the Recruiters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commitment made by Frenchie to Mitch is very important because Mitch sacrificed his life while creating an escape route for Frenchie. Mitch made Frenchie make a promise to survive and escape from the Recruiters as far as possible.

This commitment seems so big because Frenchie was already too tired and also very young at the same time to make it to the north all by himself. He just wanted to be reunited with his family and he didn't know how to do it all alone.
