Water dictates Nya’s  life because every thing that she does is resonating to  water. An example is that when Nya sister got sick, the reason Nya’s sister got sick because of water
Education dictates my life because everything I do ties to some way of learning. An example is when I go on field trips, I go on field trips to learn.

Water dictates Nya's life because water is something that they can't over use. According to the book at lake camp Nya learned how to dig for water. Something that dictates my life is school because, because im always at school and many days you go to school and it is always a mystery on what your going to do during the day.

Water dictates Nya's life is because she spends most of her day walking for water. It also keeps her alive, without it she could die. The thing that dictates me is school and parents because, most of my day is at school and I have to listen to my parents and I could not do whatever I want.

The group does not want Salva along because he would be another mouth to feed. " 'Another mouth to feed? It is already hard enough to find food.' " They also say he is to young to do any real work. " ' He is too young to do any real work...' "

Nya's life is different because, at the camp they do not have much shelter or a place to sleep. The safety was not very good because they are near the Dinka tribe, which they are at war with the Dinka.

Something for survival that I learned is that if you do not cook meat from antelope or any animal improperly you will probably get sick. Also if you are trying to get honey from a bee hive try not to get stung. I think Salva is doing good however the bee stings were bad.

Nya’s life at the camp is different from home because she has no shelter no place to sleep. “They had no house and had to sleep in makeshift shelters.”(Linda Sue Park page 33) They had to sleep at makeshift homes and beds and at home they don’t.

The way water dictates Nya’s life is that it keeps her alive, without water she would be dead. The thing that dictates my life is my parents, because I have to listen to them and I can’t talk back to them.

Water dictates Nya's life because she has go get it for her family everyday. Getting water takes a couple hours a day. Imagine getting water for your family twice a day and it taking up most of your day. She has to dig out the clay until water fills up the hole. The water is gross and muddy. It takes a long time to fill up the gourd. The thing that dictates my life most is school. This is because i am her 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

Water helps Nyas life by giving her a chance to survive. The text states (Linda Sue Park), "And everyday for five long months, until the rain come her and her family could return home." Water helps Nya's life by making sure she does not die by thirst. Home helps my life by not having me living on the streets without food, my home provides a roof over my head and a place to sleep and food to eat.

The group does not want Salva to go with them because he will complain, be slow, and will need food and water. In the book, A Long Walk to Water,  "...'he is a child. He will only slow us down' 'Another mouth to feed? It is already hard enough to find food.' 'He is too young to do any real work- he'll be no help to us.'" (Park, pg.21). They don't want him to come because he will slow them down, and he can not help them like other men and woman

# data[].attributes.body
I think the group doesn't want Salva because he is a child and will slow them down, I feel sad that group doesn't want to take care of a child that's on his own. The tribe members state, "He will slow us down."(pg. 21, Linda Sue Parks). I think it is a little unfair because they don't even know if Salva will slow them down.

# data[].attributes.body
So far In survival I learned that if you cook meat improperly from a antelope you'll probably get sick and throw up. I also learned to always have someone near you so something bad doesn't happen. It also tells you that if you are trying to get honey from a bee hive try not to get stung. I thing Salva is doing good on survival besides the bee sting. It says in the text it says " There was more than enough meat for everyone in the group. But it did not take long for Salva to regret his haste in eating." This shows that Salva regretted eating that meat because he got food poisoning.

Water  diccates Nya's life by giving her a chance of survival. The auther states (Linda Sue Park), "And every day for five long months, until the rains came and she  and her family could return home." Water diccates Nya's life by making sure she does not die by dirst. My school diccates my life by giving me knowledge.

Water dictates Nya's life because for her in order to survive she must walk for a long time to get water. One thing that most dictates my life is the government even though we have a lot of freedom we still cant do things like steal or not attend school.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva's group does not want him to do anything and wants to abandon him because he is no use and he is small and can't do any jobs. I feel that his group isolating and rejecting him is really rude and Salva is right there just sad because he has no family. If I was there and doing that I would be very sad and it would be hard for me. According to Long Walk to Water, pg. 21, " Salva saw doubt on peoples faces. Will you take him?" This quote supports my answer because poor Salva is just a little kid and that wants to find his family. The group trying to leave him behind is kind of cruel because he's just trying to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between her life at the lake is it has more access to water. The shelter isn't very good because  in the book it says that there only allowed to brung a couple things. The safety isn't very good because in the book it says that the mom doesn't want the boys to run into Dinka because shes afraid that they will get into a fight.

Salva was not wanted to come along because he is just a mere child who will slow the group down."He had gotten lost and then found by strangers, who did not need more mouths to feed." (Page 21 paragraph 7, Linda Sue Park)

# data[].attributes.body
The group does not want Salva along because he will be another mouth to feed and they think he will slow them down. I think it is okay that they are rejecting because in the text is says, they all fell silent when he came and he saw doubt on the peoples faces because they have to leave him behind because they want to survive. They think he will slow them down.

Nya is dictated by the water. Nya likes everybody, we depend on water to keep us alive. But Nya she has to leave her house just to get water for her family everyday. If there is no water in the pond then she has to move to another camp just to get dirty water from somewhere else. For me, if i didn't have my phone then i have to do something else then playing on my phone like playing outside, and that is part of my homework for school if i don't have it then i have to do it at school during study hall or after lunch.

# data[].attributes.body
The group doesn't want Salva to go along with them because he will use up some of the already little food and water. They also think he will complain and slow them down. I think that it is okay that they reject him in this extreme because keeping Salva may be a matter of life or death.

# data[].attributes.body
The group doesn't want Salva with them because they don't want to have to feed another mouth, they think he will slow them down and won't  help out. How I feel about how they would just reject him to be alone is that I understand them. I understand that the group they have is big already, and it would be harder to keep track of everyone and try to feed everyone. So I would see why they would isolate and reject him out of the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Nya's life is dictated by water because her family needs water to survive. Everything that they do is dictaded by water.

The group does not want Salva to come along because they think that he will slow them down and he would complain the whole time. Also, Salva is small and he could not help with things like hunting for food. I feel like the group doing this is mean because Salva has no family to go to. In the book "A Long Walk to Water" it states " Salva saw the doubt on the people's faces. A few in the group were shaking their heads and grumbling.".

If they were wiling to leave a kid you don't know what they would do they only care about themselves but he didn't complain at all and he helped them find food and they thought that they should leave him because he wouldn't do anything  they might have died

The group doesn't want Salva because he will be a holdback because they said " he will complain about being tired and hungry". I think they are being a little to harsh on him because he is just a child and you should give him a chance.

# data[].attributes.body
The group doesn't want Salva to go with them because they think he is going to eat and drink all of the food and water. They also thought that he will slow them down and complain, this is found in pg21-22. It is understandable that they want to leave him behind.

Nya's life at the camp is weird because Nya, her dad and her brother like the camp but her mother doesn't because she is worried that Nya's mom and dad will run into the Dinka tribe.(Chapter 6,Pages 33-34,Linda Sue Park)

# data[].attributes.body
The reason part of the group does not want Salva because if they add more people that means one more mouth to feed, more resources are taken up, and it will take longer to get there. I think that if they do leave him behind it is because he is holding them back or has an injury that the group must stop.

Just like everyone else Nya depends on water to live. So of course water dictates both our lives and Nyas life.She has to go get water everyday its not an option and thats what dictating is.Its had to realize that something is dictating you. Food dictates your life also. You have to have water, you have to have water.

# data[].attributes.body
Three challenges of survival that I have learned about so far are, trying to find food, trying to not get killed, and trying to avoid the war. I think that Salva is doing a some-what good job surviving because he hasn't gotten killed yet or encountered the war again. The only thing he hasn't been doing good at is finding food. But I don't blame him because it's already really hard to find food in the desert. (A Long Walk To Water, chapters 4-6)

Water dictates Nya's life because you need water to live and she spends a lot of her day to go get water for her, and her family so water means a lot to her.

Food dictates my life even though I get food everyday from my Mom and Dad give me food every day i need food and food gives me my energy.

Nya is dictated by water. Nya, like every other person, depends on water to live. But for Nya, she has to move homes to get water every year. If there is no water in the pond near her village she must move to a horrible camp for just little water. For me, if there is no wifi I have to quickly find something to do that doesn't need wifi, otherwise, I would die of boredom. It also means I can't do part of homework so I have to do during study hall or after lunch.

The group didn't want Salva because they don't want people complaining that they need food and water, that would drag them behind.  I feel like if I was walking to another country I would not want to have people drag me behind.

There are some differences between Nyas's life at the camp and at her home. At the camp it is more peaceful then at her home. There is not chaos at camp, at her house there is war. Chapter 6 they get there first meat meal. They don't get much food at home, at camp they get more food and water, therefore being at camp would be better.

# data[].attributes.body
At the lake she doesn't have to walk as far but has to wait a long time to get water. Either way the water isn't exactly clean. Clearly you can't live without water so it dictates everyones life very much. I think that water and food dictate everyone.

Why does the group not want Salva with them. The group probably thought that Salva would not be good in the group because, he might complain, or he might slow them down, and that it was really hard to find food and he would be another mouth to feed. In the book it the author (Park) states, "He is a child. He will slow us down. Another mouth to feed? It is already to find food. He is too young to do any real work-he'll be of no help to us." That is why the group wanted to reject him.

The group of people do not want salava to join with them because, they think that he will not do hard work, they state in the book "he is a child he will slow us down" they also don't want salva because he will slow them down and the last reason is that it is hard enough for the group to find food but if you add another person (a kid) then it will be harder! I think that it is sort of mean like I know that they are starving but they could at least say it in a nice way that he can't go!

Nya's life at home is normal for them. They have shelter, resouces, warmth, and food. But, there is one thing missing and that is water. Water is a neccesity to live. Every year, the pond near her village dries up. Nya's family must move to a camp that is near a big lake. Unfortunately, the war has forced them to only move there on the five months of dry season. The lake is all muddy, barely any water, no resouces, little to no shelter, violents with other tribes. Nya's life at home is clearly better then life at lake camp.

Salva's group did not want him to tag along because, they did not want to feed him since it was already hard for them to find food themselves. The author states, "Another mouth to feed? It is already hard enough to find food." (Sue Park page. 21) This proves that for their group they probably starve of hunger a lot.

The group does not want Salva inside there group because, he a just a kid and they think that he cannot do hard work. "He is a child. He will slow us down... Another mouth to feed?

Water dictates Nya's life in a sense that it is an arduous and time-consuming task. She has to spend a vast amount of time fetching water everyday. Like most people, Nya would rather do something else. It is significant to think that Nya needs to go out every day, walk for miles, fetch water that isn't even very healthy, and then come back home to eat and do it again. In most households, girls have other chores and duties. In my life, one thing that most dictates it is school. Currently, my job is to be a good student, turn in my assignments, and make sure I am learning what I need to become successful in life.

The group didn't want Salva to join because he was a child. They thought he would complain and slow them down. To them Salva was just another mouth to feed. "He is a child. He will slow us down." (Park, pg. 21)I think that is wrong, sure they might not be able to feed him but he is still a boy. He would be able to hunt or fight.

Nya's life at the lake camp is different from her life at home because at home she has to do 2 trips at the lake camp she only has to do one. In the book, the author states, "...she did not have to make the two long trips to the pond every day." (Sue park, pg. 33) This shows that she likes the camp better because now she doesen't have to make 2 trips she only needs one trip.

How water dictates Nya's life is because every mornning she has to wake up early to go out walk and get water for up to eight hours a day.  Also, it takes over her life and controls it becuase her family makes her go get the water while the biys are at school. Next, in chapter six on page 33 it states that she has to take two trips to the pond every day. Finally, for her family to have enough water to live and to survive becuase the heat is very bad for them they could possibly die.

Under these circumstances hes doing great at surviving, and he should be alive at the end of the book at this rate. The three challenges are food, water, and lions. :-(

The group doesn't want Salva in their group because, he is young, he will take them to use more and water and they are limited, and he can't do any real work. "Another  mouth to feed? It is already hard enough to find food," (Sue Park, pg21) I think the group should have him because he will grow up while you are walking and traveling.

Water dictates Nya's life. It is because she is the oldest daughter and she must walk. What dictates my life is plants, kittens, nature, rebellion, dance, and books. Plants , kittens, and nature dictate my life because i love them and protecting them forms rebellion. Rebellion dictates my life for my freedom. Dance dictates my life because I am determined to get better. Books dictate my life because reading gives me new perspectives of life.

The group does not want Salva because they thought he would be a useless waste of food.  I don't like having to reject people

# data[].attributes.body
The reason why the group does not want Salva was because he was a kid and that meant that there would be another mouth to feed and it will not do much work. If I was there i would of beat the snot out of them just because they are adults does not mean that they are better than kids.

# data[].attributes.body
Some challenges in survival is finding food, it is difficult to find food without a weapon. Luckly, Salva's uncle was there with a rifle and used it to hunt food for the group. Finding water is another big challenge for survival, especially since there is never a good source of clean water there, so the group must find a water like in lakes, small streams, otherwise they would die of dehydration. Wihout shelter they would be exposed , during the day, to the sun and, during the night they would exposed to animals that could hurt them and other tribes. So the group must rest in inclosed or sheltered place to survival.

# data[].attributes.body
The group does not want Salva along because he is a child and they think he will lag them behind. They do not want to have to slow down their pace because he cannot keep up. They also struggle to find food already, so another mouth to feed makes it twice as hard to find food for everybody. I feel sad and angry that the group is willing to isolate and reject Salva. The fact he is a child all alone makes it even more pitiful they are willing to leave Salva alone. I wonder if they would leave an additional person if it was an adult?...

# data[].attributes.body
Why is Salva not welcomed by the group. The group do not like how he is a child and will therefore slow them down. ‘ he is too young to do any real work-he’ll be no help to us.( page 21, by linda Sue  Park)’. Since he is a child there will just be more mouths to feed and since the group is small and without food it is the right choice physicaly but the wrong choice moraly.
