This part in the story is essential in her POV because she is a Nuer child- it is an act of peace and equality because Salva put past their differences and wrongs, and instead of being rude and cliquey, he is empathetic.

"'Thank you,' she said and looked up at him bravely. 'Thank you for bringing the water.'
The man smiled. 'What is your name?' he asked.
'I am Nya.'
'I am happy to meet you, Nya,' he said. 'I am Salva.'"

He helped a Nuer tribe even after they shot his uncle, what he once thought was his only family left.

"The teacher droned on with the lesson, about the Arabic language. Salva spoke the language of his Dinka tribe at home. But in school he learnt Arabic, the official language of the Sudanese government far away to the north."

This is an important setting, in the school, because it explains what tribe he is in, what language the government wants them to speak, and that they are in Sudan.

In Chapter 18, for the first time in this book, Nya is happy, relieved and full of hope now that the well was built, along with the school. She is excited to be educated along with her brothers, and amazed that someone from an enemy tribe would help their tribe.

" 'That man, the boss of the workers,' Dep said. 'You know he is Dinka?'
Nya looked at Dep in astonishment."

" 'He has drilled many wells for his own people, this year he decided to drill for the Nuer as well.' "

----

Salva put the past behind him, with the Nuer killing his uncle, and decided to build a well for them. In Chapter 18, he seemed like a great leader, joking around with his hard working friends and workers, motivating them enough to finish the well. He didn't yell often, and when he did, it was only to get the worker back to building the well. He was also very kind to Nya, a little girl from the enemy tribe.

" 'I am happy to meet you, Nya,' he said. 'My name is Salva.' "

"Salva is now 22" This is what is stated in the very first part of Salva's chapter. It shows a time change and his resilience to the harsh camps until he is driven out.

"There was always so much life around the pond: other people, women and girls, who had come to fill their containers; many kind of birds, all flap and twitter and caw; herds of cattle that had been brought to the good grazing by young boys who looked after them."

This phrase dictates that Nya came to the pond to refill her container, as other women  also proceeded to quench their thirst.

"It took two gourdfuls before she felt cooler inside."

Nya already fills her container, as the container was cooler on the inside. I predict she'll soon take her leave against the heat once again.

"There was only heat, the sun already baking the air, even though it was long before noon"
