1) What tribe does Nya belong to?
Is this the same tribe as Salva?

2) Living near the big lake would make it a lot easier for Nya’s family to get water.
Why can’t they live there the whole year?

3) On p. 27 it reads:
“Waiting for water.  Here, for hours at a time.  And every day for five long months, until the rains came and she and her family could return home.”
What does this quote teach us about Nya’s relationship to water and struggle?

4) What was the cost of getting the honey for Salva and the rest of the group?

5) Why was getting the honey the worth it to the group?

6) On p. 29, when Salva steps on Marial’s hand and hurts him when they first meet.  Marial also has lost his family.  What does this quote, describing how Marial tells Salva he also lost his family, teach us about Salva:
“[Marial] sighed, and Salva heard that sigh all the way to his heart.”

7) Why is Salva worried about walking east to Ethiopia?

8) How does the author describe the Atout people?
How does the description of the people help create a picture of the place they live?

9) PREDICT: Who is Salva going to see?  Who is it that is calling his name at the end of the chapter?

Nya tribe is Nuer the enemies from Salva he is a Dinka while Nya is his enemy.
Living near the lake was not easy because everyone wanted to be around the water so for Nya family to be safe they only stay there on the dry season which is only five month of the year and rest of those month they have to go and get another spot because then everyone is going to want and go get some water and they do not want to be in the middle of the fight. Living next to a lake would not be a smart idea while there is water on the lake because everyone would like to fight over that lake that you lived close by just Nya and her family.  They would do the opposite and then when water started getting into the lake they left for another spot.
Nya goes and tries to get water just like she used to back home but this time she is taking water it was more mud than liquid and it was not regular for her so she had to stay longer just get more water that did not have more mud then the first one. Nya has to do this for five long month of the year to get water for her family and has to get as clean as she can where there is not a lot of mud in it which it was hard for during a season where it doesn't rain a lot so after all those five month after taking water working herself out she still has to go back home and still has to look for more water because they have moved from where they were next to the lake.
Salva and the group had a great win until all the bees had woken up and they noticed their home was being destroyed so they decided to respond back to them and they started to bite every single one of them and all had bees bump.
For them it was worth it because they would do anything just to get some water or food and that’s what they did to get some honey.
Salva after seeing the group was getting bigger he decided to look around to see if he could see his family but after looking for so much he stepped on some other kid's hand which Salva was very much sorry had he repeated it to him. The kid forgave him but he told Salva you should watch where you're going. After both of them were not talking, Salva turned around and started looking again and the kid was still looking at Salva and asked “him your family?” Salva shook his head, me too the kid said and Salva had a touch to his heart as a feeling that he was not the only one looking for his family. They both introduced themselves to each other and Salva said “it was good to make a friend.”
Salva was not very happy that they were going to Ethiopia because he knew he was not going to see his family ever again. Marial is talking to him. Yes we are in Ethiopia but look he said if we walk down east we would go all around the world and make it back to Sudan and when we come back that’s when we'll find our families.
The Atout are people that are incredible for them on how their stories are based. One of the stories was if one of the Atout people died they would become a lion after. Salva did not have a great sleep after hearing the stories from people once he had woken up by hearing a sound of roars which got him scared.
Salva has woken up and he sees Marial next to him but he does not see very well who it actually is. Salva turned around and looked who it was and he was so amazing and happy that he got to see the person. Who could it be his parents, his friends, neighbors, teacher, or any familiar person that he knows very well?

This picture shows that once they are almost getting to Ethiopia they are some wild animal who would attack everyone in that group just for the animal to get something to eat for themselve. This picture would let people understand that they are walking to a different country and is very dangerous and on the way those animals are like they are looking for food people or other animals to attack so they could eat.

I disagree with that having a friend like Marial would make it harder for Salva. It would help Salva because him and Marial have been and still are in the same situation.
Marial is a very good friend for Salva which they're both in the same situation with. Marial probably has a bigger mentality which it helps Salva to understand something that he might not have been through yet.
When Salva steps on Marial’s hand  “It’s all right. But you really should watch where you're going.” This shows that he could have acted in a different way and would not be a good situation for everyone else. Marial acted in a good way by not letting that lead into something it was not supposed to go but he handled it well for himself to not try to get up and hurt Salva.
Marial stayed calm and in a bad situation which would help Salva a lot. Having someone who knows how to control himself is very good to have because they would tell you how to act in a situation where it is very hard to handle your emotion.
Marial has asked Salva “Your family?” Marial said and Salva shook his head while Mairal said it to “Me too.” This would help stick together because they are both in the situation where they both are lost boys without their families. They could use each other's stories to use it as a strong part because one of them might have gone through a harder part.
This will help Salva survive because having a friend that has been through the same thing is better than one person then going through it alone. It is no good while is only yourself only you would always need someone on your side to be there just like Marial. This all show having a friend like Marial would have you survive and stay looking up in situations that are difficult.

Nya is from the Neur tribe and Salva from the Dinka tribe they are not from the same tribe.
Living near the lake it doesn't make it any easily to Nya because as a different as the village now she don't walk a long way but spend hours to fill up the container. They can't not live all year near the lake because the Dinka and Neur tribe always have fight for the landing only in this season they don't fight often because both tribes are trying to survive in hard times.
The quote in page 27 explained the difficult time that Nya have to deal for five months of the year making a hole on the ground to reach the water.
Getting the honey from the beehive has a cost of a multiple bee sting.
At the end it was worth it because they all get enough honey to be happy and with energy to continue their journey.
On page 29 when Salva step on Marial's hand he says sorry and then he keep looking at the people faces, Marial ask ''Your Family'' and Salva responses No and Marial says '' me too'' that's when he tell Salva he also lost his family. Marial sigh, Salva heard that sigh all the way to his heart.” Salva got Marial's sigh all the way to his heart because inside they both have lost their parents and they missed them and are worried, because they want to be back with them home.

Salva it’s worried because his family won’t be able to find him in another country.
The author describes that when an Atout people die comes back to Earth as a lion, with a great hunger for human flesh he once had.  This quote helps to create a picture of where they are because it’s an extremely dangerous place that no one can be safe.
I think that at the end of the chapter when Salva hear someone calling his name is going to be his older brother or one friend from the village.

This picture shows the environment where salva and the group is in this chapter.

It’s a good picture that helps people understand the chapter because no one can sleep well with the wild animals around.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that having a friend like Mariel will help Salva survive.
They start walking together the second day they meet.
If Salva stays behind from the group he won’t be on his own.
Mariel made a joke when Salva was worried that his parents weren't going to find him if he went to Ethiopia.
Mariel and Salva have lost their parents because of a war they can help each other because they have the same emotions.

# data[].attributes.body
Am I safe here?
I would be saying this to me because I could be paranoid of the roar of the lion and the sound of their prey.
Marial do you want to do shifts of an hour then I do it while you sleep.I would be saying this to Marial because I’m afraid if a lion finds us so we alert the group.
I hope that no one can find where we are, I hope my family is a safe place, I don't want to be eaten by these animals.

# data[].attributes.body
Are they coming for us? Will they eat us alive? But I won't be going to sleep because of the lions roaring. I don’t know if the lions would attack us while we’re asleep. I don’t know where the lions are or if they’re coming towards us. I don’t know if the lions are coming for us but I know we need to keep going on our journey to not stop and keep going till we get into a safe place. Having Marial by my side makes me feel that I’m not alone which if I was I wouldn't  be this calm.  Sometimes it is good not to talk about family or think about them when you're with a friend that is going through the same but still yall go through it and still be happy.
How did everything start when he got attacked, where was he, where was his family. I would like to know how everything he went through was the same as I did or if it was harder then what I had to go through. Another reason why I'm asking this is because my story is going to be different than his.
I hear these lions and I wish I could find my family while running and not knowing where to go. Every night I am wishing wherever my parents are they are in a good place where they are alive. I hope they have food and water because in this situation the most important thing is having those things with you all the time. The second most important other thing is trying to stay away from the war.  Now the situation is adding up because I’m  very scared of the lions and my parents are still missing not knowing if they are good or if they are dead which is just making me think a lot.

Nya and Salva belong to a different tribe Nya belongs to the Nuer tribe. However, Salva belongs to the Dinka tribe. They are a rival tribe who fight for the land near the lake.
It gets easier to get water for Nya family when they are in the camp near the lake but they can’t stay there the whole year because of the fighting of the Dinka and Nuer tribe. They move from the camp because they are in danger there and Nya’s family could be hurt. Water controls where Nya lives because she must move when the pond dries up to a lake. And it’s her work to get water for her family. I think that Nya is used to waiting a lot to get water that is why she doesn’t mind waiting. The cost of getting the honey was that many people in the group had bruises, fat lips, a guy with a swollen tongue and bee bites. Getting the honey worth it even though the bees hurt them because they eat a lot more than they could hold. Salva and Marial both belong to the Dinka tribe,both lost their family, and they are the same age. Salva understood Marial’s feelings because he couldn’t find his family either.They are walking to another country. It is far and he is afraid his family will never find him there. When the Atuot people die they come back as lions with hunger for human flesh. Salva hears someone call his name and he hopes it is someone from his family. I think that person will be his uncle.

This picture shows what the author said about the Atuot people reincarnating to lions. And because the group couldn’t sleep because of the wild animals.

I agree that it will be easier for salva to survive having a friend like Marial because they both thought the same they can help each other with that feeling of losing their family.
The first evidence is when Marial told Salva “Don’t you know that if we keep walking east, we’ll go all the way around the world and come right back here to sudan? That’s when we’ll find our families.”
This evidence supports my claim because Salva was discouraged when they were walking to Ethiopia and at that moment Marial made him laugh and  motivated him to continue.
My second evidence is when Salva said “It was good to make a friend.”
This evidence supports my claim because it's better to pass hard time with the help and support of a friend than alone. If you are alone it is harder because nobody is going to motivate you or help you if you are in trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
Will I be eaten? Are they going to kill me? Are they seeing me now? I’m scared of hearing the lions roaring near me. It sounds so close that I’m freaking out.
I told Marial that he has to be calm. I said this because if we both are scared we have to try to calm ourselves. I knew I had to help him to calm down because he helped when we were walking to Ethiopia.
I wish that my family had come to rescue me from the wild animals and go home to live like we used to. I would go to school like I used to if my family came to get me right now. Instead I’m trying to sleep but I can’t because I’m scared.
Salva hasn’t changed because he is still a young kid. He is still a kid because he doesn’t know how to take care of himself yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Nya’s tribe is Nuer, this isn’t the same tribe as Salva, Nya and her family can’t live near the water because everyone like to get the water so they only go there when it’s dry season so they don’t have to be involved in the fight, This quote shows us how since it’s dry season when Nya and her family go to the water it’s a struggle for them to get water. Once it finally rains then they can leave, The cost of getting the honey was a lot of bee stings, It was worth it because they all got to enjoy it and we’re encouraged to keep going on the journey, It teaches us how Salva understand Mariel and how he feels what they are feeling because they can’t find their families and they miss them a lot, Salva is worried because he knows his family won’t find him in another country, The author describes Atout people dying and coming back to life as lions to eat on human flesh, this shows how where they are is very dangerous, I think that one of his friends from the village are going to call him

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this statement because it’s actually the opposite, Salva will have a new friend and he also will know that someone understands him. Also Salva knows how hurt Mariel is and he’s going to try and comfort them and help them to survive even though they don’t have their families.

# data[].attributes.body
These lions are really scaring me. What if they try

to attack one of us. We can’t fight against lions, they’re stronger than us. I wonder if Mariel is feeling the same way.

Mariel said that they feel the same way. We’re both scared of lions and especially that myth we heard. I wish I had my mom to hug on to.

# data[].attributes.body
The picture with the lions is a good example of showing us what environment they are in which is a very dangerous environment.
