Salva overcomes his fear by embracing it, instead of mourning over his losses. Both Marial and Uncle died during the trip. He didn't even know if his own family was alive or not. Salva siad that he knew in his heart that both people wanted him to survive, wanted him to make it to the Itang refugee camp. "It was almost as if they had left their strength with him, to help him on his journey," the author states, "Beneath his terrible sadness, he felt stronger." I have overcome my fears by talking about it with someone I trust, trying not to think about it, or going out, and just doing the thing that I have been trying to avoid.

Q: What would it be like in Salva's circumstances?
A: I would be very afraid and sad because Uncle and Marial died. I would be afraid because I could get killed to and now that Uncle is not with him and he is not carrying a gun, I would feel unsafe. Also, I would feel very tired from walking and very dehydrated from not drinking enough water. I would also miss Uncle, because uncle comforted him when he felt
homesick, instructed him when he was confused and tired, and protected him from lions. He felt homesick because he lost his family and friends and had to flee from his homeland. I think that Salva is very humble and strong because of all the circumstances he had faced. In Salva's circumstances, I would be terribly scared and depressed.

This book is very inspiring and it makes us be more empathetic. I really like this book.

Salva overcomes his fears buy having his Uncle. His Uncle is alway trying to be there for Salva. Like for example when Salva felt like couldn't walk any more throught the desert, his Uncle was there to tell him it would be ok and that they were almost out of the desert. But when his Uncle was shot, what will he do?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva is feeling really bad because his uncle got killed by the rebel bandits. I know what it feels like to have a loss in the family so I can make a connection to how he is feeling. Also, Salva has to walk so much through the desert to get to the camp. That must hurt his feet so much.

# data[].attributes.body
Salva overcomes his fears by remembering that he doesn't have to walk much farther. I overcome fears by remembering that anything is possible, and giving up isn't going to help. Overcome fear before fear completely overcomes you.

I think the worst thing that happened to Salva was when his friend died and Uncle died. The desert is worst by having the people coming and steeling things and killing his Uncle killed. At least he found and orange donut.

Salva overcame his fear by thinking of the walking in small  chunks and having the willpower to keep going. Salva's uncle also helped him overcome his fear by comforting him, encouraging him, and protecting him. When Salva lost his family and friends, his uncle was there to comfort him. When Salva was scared, dehydrated, and in pain, his uncle helps him by instructing him to just walk to a small landmark, like a plant, and helps him calm down and take it in small chunks. I think that another part of the reason he managed to keep going is the doubt about him from the rest of the group. Instead of being discouraged, he tries harder to prove them wrong. When I get scared, usually I just tell myself that it'll be over soon, and I just have to wait it out.

I believe that Salva is very mature for his age. He has gone through all these horrible events, yet he actually survives through it. If I was Salva, I would be crying my head off. My family reduced to ashes, my friend eaten by lions, me almost dying by dehydration, I would  figuratively die. Salva overcomes his fear of almost everything in his situation because of his uncle. If it wasn't for his uncle, Salva might be sprawled out in the desert. Salva's uncle saves him from this death by instructing him to walk to certain  locations, such as a clump of bushes, a rock, a tree, or anything else in the area. This continues Salva's long walk to safety. I overcome fears by breathing heavily, or, a less pleasant option for some people,  screaming, or yelling, or gasping, or whatever I seem to want to do at the moment. Another possibility is:  holding or squeezing an object, such as a pole, a stuffed animal, my arm, or anything else around the area.  Finally,  I also- I emphasize the I in this sentence because I am absolutely sure that nobody does this- 'chew' (I call it eat) my right hand. I have no idea why I do this, it is just a habit of mine.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Salva is extraordinarily humble, especially for his young age. For example, despite his truly petrifying ordeals,  he manages to continue his nightmarish life. I can barely believe that this is based on a true story!
I rate this 10/10

Salva is only 11 years old and he lost his family and his friends. He overcame his fear by finding his uncle. After hurting his toe his uncle kept him walking by telling him that he only needed to make it only to a place near him. Then when his uncle stopped he used this strategy to continue his journey.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva recognized that his family wanted him to do well and survive. This kept him walking. He also found Maryl  earlier in the story, and having a friend helped him keep walking. Plus, he had Uncle for most of the journey giving him hope and encouraging him to go forward. I used to have a fear of rock climbing and heights. I overcame my fear in a boy scout camp where we had to climb the wall. To my surprise it was actually really fun and I never thought about how high I was in the air.

I think Salva overcame his fear because uncle was there with him, and that uncle would provide protection and Salva would feel comfortable because a family member (uncle) was there with him.

Salva's uncle helps him overcome fear. Salva was thirsty, tired, and hungry. Then, he stubbed his toe, which caused the toenail to fall off. Salva's uncle helped by telling Salva he only had to walk to the group of bushes. Once they got there, Salva's uncle said he just had to get to the rocks. Salva's uncle kept doing that, to get Salva to look at the long walk  as many short sections. Having his uncle by his side really helped Salva keep going. If I am scared, I try to calm myself down. I take deep breaths and fidget with something, which makes me feel better. Once I'm calm, I keep going.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Salva overcomes his fear by thinking about his family and what they would want for him. Salva knows that his family would want him to persevere and survive the war. His loved ones are his motivation. I overcome my fear by thinking about the worst case scenario that could come out of what I am worrying about. Usually, the worst case scenario isn't that big of a deal and I stop worrying. If the worst case scenario is a big deal, I take deep breaths to calm myself. I first take a long breath in for the count of seven in my head, then let all the air out for the count of eleven.

I think Salva overcomes his fear by reassuring himself that everything with go back to normal and that he has Uncle by his side until he finds his family. Even though Salva is fearful his Uncle is able to persuade him to forward. For example after Marial died his Uncle reassures Salva that any lion that dares to come close he will shoot. I have overcome the fear of big tests by just thinking that they are what I have been practicing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva overcomes his fear by slowly adjusting to his new way of living. With having Uncle close he feels protected in the group. Even though he has to manage living in a hard time, he makes the best of it and continues to walk knowing he is safe with Uncle's gun.
I have overcome fears before and what helps me is believing in myself and tackling it. Even though I am scared I try to not think about it and just do it. This method has helped me overcome some of my fears and now I feel comfortable with them. I think Salva did this too and just reassured himself that everything was going to be okay and he could persevere because of Uncle and his kindness towards Salva.
