I have learned that loved ones like family and friends and encourage other people to take a step ahead towards good things. I can use this information to get through every day challenges and new, future challenges.

From ch. 13, pg. 81: "He felt his determination growing, as it had in the days after Uncle's death." This quote is significant because it relates to determination, one of the themes from the novel. Salva's growing determination led to the act of him helping other people in need, like he was before.

I agree with everyone because persevering is a way to improve or succeed in life. A way to use perseverance in your life is if you fail a test but you don't give up and you believe in yourself to do better on the next test.

I agree with everyone else, in this novel, A Long Walk to Water, I also learned that if you keep going, and if you never back down out, you will always go somewhere. If you give up, you will never find a way out. For an example, when Salva's uncle died in Ch.10, Salva kept going. He didn't back out, he was strong enough to bare and keep going. This information can help us never give up on no matter what's happening. This is what I think my answer can help with everyone else's answer.

# data[].attributes.body
In this novel, I have learned that if you persevere, and never give up, great things could happen to you and you will become very brave and strong. I can use this if something sad or upsetting happens in my life, I can just take it step by step.

I agree with Caleb because bravery does impact life like when he dug the Nuer tribe a well when they are enemies!

i agree with Payton S. she said that Mairel and uncle would want him to finish the journey and make it to the refugee camp.

# data[].attributes.body
I haved learned that it's always good to persevere and never give up because in A long walk to water, Salva never lost hope and never gave up trying to find his family and eventually good things came to him throughout his rough journey and he found his father and this can connect to someones life because if you're going through a rough time like Salva was, if you keep going and never lose hope good things can happen to you.

My favorite quote was "one step at a time" I like this quote because it shows his persaverence to get his goal done.

# data[].attributes.body
that life is not easy were saliva lived. if you were a kid you would have to survive for your self because adults think your slow and you'll slow them down. on pg 21 one of the adults in the group said" he is a child he will slow us down." "another mouth to feed? its already hard enough to find food." "he is to you to do any real work." "he'll be no help to use." i can apply this to my life because people take one look at me and say "he is no help he's weak." "your not strong enough to lift things."

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Payton S because I have anxiety and I think I could be braver to overcome my fears. And Salva had to swim across the Gilo river with crocodiles, very strong current, and while people were shooting guns at them.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite quote was on page 82 when Salva's uncle told him, "one step at a time." This was my favorite because Salva's uncle really helped him out and made it possible for Salva to survive.

I think the most significant quote was on page 53 when Salva uncle said, "Do you see that group of bushes You need only to walk as far as those bushes" i think thats the most important because Uncle was encouraging salva step by step to do something he didn't want to do.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite quot was that Nya was building a school you need education to live

# data[].attributes.body
i have learned that if you keep going you will work for what you want, "perseverance pays off." like if you study for a test you are working for it and you have a good chance at doing well on the test.

I agree with Sierra because I think Salva did forgive the other tribe by building a water pump.

My favorite quote was on page 107 when the text said, "Salva replayed in his mind every moment of his visit with his father." because Salva finally found his family.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 82, it says "One step at a time." This was my favorite quote because Salva's uncle really helped him by telling him to take everything one step at a time and he really helped Salva so maybe I couldtry

i think the  theme is Don't give up even if hope seems lost because on page 53-54 saliva was in the desert when he hurt his toe on a rock and he was ready to give up but his uncle said his full name and said " saliva do you see the group of bushes walk only as far as those bushes". and i think that gave saliva hope to keep on moving

I agree with everyone included, these quotes show why a story has started, and how it all began. Also, every quote leads to a lesson. For example, one of these quotes explain how the war started.

# data[].attributes.body
i heard lots of quotes that where saying when uncle pushes Salva to keep going and don't give up.

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 5-7 is when the war started. The quote is "Gunfire. 'Everyone DOWN!' the teacher shouted." I think this quote is important because this is how the war started. And without war, there would be no story. This is my favorite because it is how Salva's story started.

# data[].attributes.body

I agree with all. Salvas uncle was a leader to Salva and when he was killed Salva was on his own. I do have a question wasent there adult man with Salvas uncle couldent they just help them

On page 109 it says "i am here to talk to you about a project for southern sudan." i said it was this because this is what got him to start building wells for sudan.

# data[].attributes.body
my favorite quote is "they would want me to survive to grow up and make something of my life.. to honor there memories" i like this quote because the group he is in now just thinks he will slow them down that he is to young to do any real work.

# data[].attributes.body
One step at a time

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Grace because meeting his father was one of the big parts of the book. Most of Salva's part was him wanting to know where his family is. That quote was also important because if he did not find is father, Salva would not know where his mom, brother, and his sisters were.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with Payton. I think the quote she said was the most significant because his uncle was encouraging Salva to get to Ethiopia step by step when all he wanted to do in the inside was give up but he had to keep going.

I agree with Jay because I feel like losing your uncle (that you've known for your entire life) is worse than losing your friend that you haven't known to long.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when Salva lost his Uncle Jewirr, his friend Marial, and his two of three brothers, that really impacted his life because he lost loved ones. Also, Salva was treated badly in times of the book, but his loved ones comforted him. Evidence from ch. 17, pg. 106: "His father told Salva that his sisters were with his mother. But of his three brothers, only Ring had survived the war. Ariik, the oldest, and Kuol, the youngest, were both dead. Little Kuol... Salva closed his eyes for a few moments, trying to picture his brothers through a haze of time and grief."

I think that Lily is correct , when Salva's uncle was killed because, he was going to help salva look for his family.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenge that caused salva the most trouble was that his uncle died. And he was the only friend that he had at the time and then he was shot and killed. And his uncle was the only one how could keep salva going.

# data[].attributes.body
Moving to America was his biggest impact, Moving to America really made his life hopeful and happy gagin, it also lead him to meeting his father once again. It lead to the end of the novel, building a well for nya.... a quote i used for this is, "The plane landed at last, its wheels screeching, while Salva Gripped the arm rests and braced himseld for what was to come." That shows that he is excited for change and needed to do this.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest challenge is when Mariel and Uncle died because those were the only people that Salva new and had a close connection with, but then they died and now Salva has to do it him selve.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with Sam because in the novel when his uncle died Salva was treated different because his uncle was the "leader" but when the uncle was alive he was like a mentor to Salva but than when he did die it gave him determination.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with landon because his uncle was the only family member that he thought was alive and when uncle juir died salva wanted to give up and stop

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging thing that happened in Salva's life was probably when his uncle getting shot and  killed. I think this because on pages 53-54 when they were all going through the desert and when Salva wanted to stop his uncle would say he had to walk to one thing. His uncle would say his full name to motivate Salva to go farther. He was also depending on his uncle to find his family and since he died he did not find his family until many years later. Also Salva kept walking because he knows his uncle would want him to push through and keep going. The group also treated Salva differently after his uncle died.

I also agree with landon in a way, his theme was perseverance. I think he has a solid answer because he always keeps persueing his dream of his parents being alive and his family. He perseveres until he finnaly made it to america.

I think it's courage, because after Salva's uncle got killed it took A LOT of courage to keep going, because his uncle was the only thing keeping Salva going, and because Salva knew that the group was going treat him like they had before, horribly, not sharing food, and like a

I think it't perseverance because on page 63 the text explain when Salva watched one of the men aimed his gun at uncle and shot him that motivated Salva to keep trying for his uncle because that exactly what the uncle wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
Same Emily

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the dominant theme was Perseverance because salva had to persevere. A lot because a lot of people that he cared about died. And he had to persevere throw all of those things. Like on page 63 his uncle was shot and killed by the Nuer tribe. That's why I think the theme was perseverance.

# data[].attributes.body
Jay's answer was strong and i would like to add on that.Keep moving is a important theme in the novel but shane had a good theme also "take life one step at a time" is kind of the same as jay's, it means stay moving but at the same time take it slow.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a dominant theme in the novel is to have hope because in Southern Sudan people of the tribes were in need of food, water, etc. Salva lost his family in the start of the war because he was separated into a different group and that made worry but he never gave up, he kept going through all the hard challenges he had faced. He went on until he found what he was looking for.

# data[].attributes.body
they all seem fine

# data[].attributes.body
i agree but he perseverred he also faced alot of chalenges that he had to persevere through

# data[].attributes.body
My dominant theme was bravery because of everything Salva and Nya had to go through. Even though Nya was a fictional character I feel that she was still very brave. Nya had to walk at least half the morning to the pond every day. The one time when Nya was walking and she got a thorn stuck in her foot she just took it out and kept going. Nya could have stopped and gave up but Nya pullled through and kept going.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dominant theme is to always perserfer  because after all the ups and down Salva had he kept going. For example, after the ethiopian soliders forced them out because they were having their own war. But then Salva lead a bunch out boys to Kenya because Kanya had refugee camps their. So no matter what Salva doesn't stop he just keeps going.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what jay said but salva also was tierd

# data[].attributes.body
a theme would be determination because in the novel Salva never gave up. and it could also be perseverance

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a dominant theme is war, they mention death and soldiers consistently throughout the novel.

# data[].attributes.body
A dominant theme for the novel would be determination. Another good theme would be "Don't give up." Or perseverance. There are times in the novel where Salva has no hope, but his determination and perseverance helped him to keep going through the tough journey. Evidence from ch. 13, pg. 82: "One step at a time... one day at a time. Just today - just this day to get through... Salva told himself this every day."

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Brynn. A dominant theme is Perseverance because of all the "risks" and challenging things he took and did. Some text evidence is that he lead over 1,200 boys to Kenya as a teenager.
