It dictates Nya’s life because, Nya’s job at the lake camp was to fetch water. With her hands she would dig a hole in the damp clay of the lake bed. She scooped out handfuls of clay until the hole was as deep as her arm. The clay would get wetter as she dug until water would began to seep into the bottom of the hole.

Water dictates Nya's life because of the altercations between her tribe, the Neur, and the Dinka tribe. Both tribes had to live at the lake for 5 months because they were struggling to survive after their battle. On page 26, it states, " Like the pond back home, the lake was dried up. But because it was much bigger than the pond, the clay of the lakebed still held water." -Zayne D

I think salva is having a rough start but I think It got better as he learnt more things from the group. I think this because at first Salva’s eye was swollen shut, from bee stings. But the good thing from that incident He got honey and bee wax also honey combs. Salva kept one honey comb and wrapped it in a leaf. He had more difficult obstacles, but he made friends. And started becoming a better group member.

The reason they didn't want Salva is because they thought another Dinka in the group would be harder on them. In the text is states "...he is no help to us." The reason they said that is because he is too young to work and help the group. He will also be another mouth to feed and one Dinka man states "...It is already hard enough to find food"

The book states that it is hard to survive because:

1.) It is hard to find food

2.) He walks for hours on a daily bases and gets very little sleep.

3.) Doing this plus not having family with him can be hard.
