Salva was determined to help the people in Southern Sudan with water. With determination he was able to bind a business and bind wells in Southern Sudan.

I think that the theme is leadership because when salva's uncle died he had to be the leader of the group for a long time and he was a really good leader and also when he started a business he was the leader of the business.

# data[].attributes.body
I think war is the theme because Salva has to flee his home because of war. Salva has to walk a dessert to get to a refuge camp for his uncle to get shot. Salva also has to leave the reuge and have his friends get shot by the government. They have to go across this dangers river and people are dying because they are getting eaten by crocodiles. Then he has to go to another camp and then leaves that one after two years. Then it is all worth it because he gets to go to america.

Salva and the lost boys and the other refugees at the camp had to swim in the Gilo river and some got shot and some got killed by alligators. A Lot of the refugees had to walk for years to get to the last refugee camp

Hope is the theme because the whole time he was relying on hope. He was hoping for his family and his life. He hoped for the best. Now he is in America. Hope is the theme.

Salva shows incredible leadership by leading the boys to the refugee camp. When Salva was leading he thought of his uncle which gave him strength to lead. He stepped up and gave them Instructions on what to do and to sharing food and water equally. He followed his uncles saying one step at a time just a little more encouraging them no mater how he does it. Salva being the leader that he was allowed at least 1,200 to get to the camp safely within a year in a half

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the theme is hope/perseverance. I think this because in the book Salva had to have a lot of hope to be able to jump into the water with the crocodiles and swim across. Another reason why I think that the theme is hope is because Salva has to lead over 1,500 boys across the deseret. Salva leads the group into a huge circle more than just a few times. During those few times Salva can't loose hope and he has to persevere.

# data[].attributes.body
When no one would step up to lead everyone salva did. He was much help, he told everyone to walk at night because in the day there would be shooting and war. He told the men to take turns holding the kids on there backs. Salva also lead him to the correct way. After almost a year they got to where they wanted to be thanks to Salva.

savla goes through a lot. Starting with walking across desserts with no less then 70 decrease. he has to take one step at a time. he is detonated and engeoged to keep going.He walks for half of a year to a refuge camp where he can stay.

Salva was a good person for being a leader in the book.He was a leader for about 15,000 boys. He would encourage others too not give up.  which  he lead to a camp that soon would lead them to a new life

# data[].attributes.body
I think the the theme was hope because the whole book Salva kept hoping that he will stay alive. He crossed the Nile, he crossed the Okobo desert because he kept hope. He was hoping that he can stay alive when he almost got eaten by  a crock, got shot, drowned, while crossing the Gilo river. Now he is in america with his own family . Salva has been running away for 22 years but he is alive because he kept hoping.

They barley had any water till the jeep people came

Salva was probably a good person to look up to during the times of the war. During the time that Salva was the leader he would encourage the other lost boys that they would make it and that everyone would get to Ifo safely.

# data[].attributes.body
This is because Salva was a good leader. I say this because he led almost everyone to like a safe place after the refugee camp shut down. He also helped people get through some tough things. That is why I think the theme is leadership.

salva is getting new Family and Relationships. Salva has just got a new family and a new start in New York. He has got many relations  with his uncle,  marial  and the English teacher at the camp. Salva had many relationship with random people like the people that he help get to Kennan and  help them get to the refuge camp there.

# data[].attributes.body
He started walking south to another refugee camp in Kenya and then lots of other refugees followed him. That meant he was the leader of the group. So he gave people jobs and shared to food evenly. He also told them to walk during the night so they don't get spotted by Sudan soldiers and he told the older ones of the group to carry the younger ones when they are to tired to walk and that means he learned to be a leader like his Uncle.

Salva had to go through fear crossing the river. When he was crossing the river is was very dangerous.There was starving crocodiles and a war happening. there was bullets, screaming and fear. But some how he crosses and nearly drowns.

# data[].attributes.body
Salva walked for a year and a half to a camp. He also had a little hope when he read the names to be sent to america. ( and he did!) ALSO he had hope/perseverance when he crossed the Gilo river while being chased by Ethiopian soldiers. ( he also got lucky when the boy DROWNING him got shot instead of him, so it was actually a good thing he had his head underwater.) Nya side of the story also had hope when her village kept trying to find water.

# data[].attributes.body
They started to yell. They picked up there guns and started to shoot. Fear ran through my mind. Where are they they leading us? Then he realized they were leading him. To a river famous for there crocodiles ! He realized a boy jumping in the water attempting to swim across. Then he jerk once or twice till he goes all the way under. Then it's my turn so I jump in. A little boy grabs onto my back I get pulled under and he lets go. then i realized he got shot but i have to keep swimming. I see crocodiles coming of the bay into the water. I am swimming for my life. there is so much fear but i had to keep going. I pull myself up into the mud just so happy that I made it.

Salva goes through so much and once he gets safely to america he is sad that he is leaving his old life but happy to start a new one. " One step at a time." One thing Salva has to go  through is the Gilo River with all the crocodiles and soldiers. Salva nearly drowns and almost gets shot. Another thing Salva goes through is the refugee camps that felt like prison. Salva can not nearly get enough food to be full.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme was determination because, Salva was determined to get to each of the refugee camps. And he also was determined to find his family. Salva was also determined to learn english and he was also determined to get some money.

# data[].attributes.body
Salva learned perseverance because, he learned to push through the heat. He also learned to take one step at a time. He is being motivated by this and he is get encouraged to keep going. He takes the message and keeps pushing trough going and walking for a year and a half to a refugee camp where they can stay. Without his uncle's advise to take it one step at a time he would've gave up.
