Right to Education
All people have a right to education and when Salva has to give up school and travel to a refugee camp. Although this changes once he gets to the refugee camp. He starts to get taught English and starts playing volleyball. Although, you cant really consider that education. Even though he knows English, if he restarted school he would have to restart some of middle school and high school.

Marial didn't have much time to have any sort of connection and attach to us like uncle but Marial was still another key moment as Salva saw Marial gone and he wasn't in the tent and saw some blood. Marial was gone. He was eaten by lions. This is a factor of why this book is called a long walk to water as the water represents  a challenge to escape south Sudan and find the "water" (safety) -Grant
