The video inspired me instead of digging wells, we can help others in different ways. Perhaps donate money, go volunteer, etc. Salva can do, we can do, too.

I was surprised that Salva was so noble. He suffered the war, got separated from his family. However, he went to America, and helped his own country when he went back.

When I read the book, I had no connection with it. The story is not so true to me, but then I see it is the true story. There are really some people like Salva on the same earth with me. Some people were separate with their family or even no food to eat.

I was surprised that the author set part of the story  in 1985 and part of it in 2008. I wonder what did the author do in these 23 years. If I set the story for a long time, I'll forget what I set before. Maybe the story is important

I'm very surprised that this book is based on a true story.I can't  image that some people live like that.Many children  like Salva was separated with their's family.  They need to find their way to stay alive....whether  they're child or adult.

A lot of people always said the world is dark and sinister and indifferent. However, in this video I know, Author Linda was good to Salva, she didn't  did not use skin color to decide how to treat him. In America, racial discrimination is serious, especially people who have black skin color. No racial discrimination between them, that's inspiring.

I don't think I can  be as brave as Salva. I am surprised that he separated from his family during the most difficult time in his life  when he was only an eleven-year-old boy, but he didn't give up or let sadness filled up his whole life. He chose to move to a foreign country  without anything. I really don't have that kind of determination and courage.

I'm surprised that Salva, a young aged boy could be so brave and independent to live and suffer without his parents help. I realize that I am so lucky to have a safe and comfortable life.

There are still so many people in the world who are still suffering. After Salva has a better life now, he didn't forget where he had come from, he remembers those people and starts helping them. He works in an organization to help to build some water wells for those who never used to have clean water. We shouldn't forget those who stay with us when we need other's help!

There are more people than we can imagine are still suffering. Salva used his own influence to help others. and no matter how much he had, he walked step by step, tp achieve his goal---helping others. We can also use our own influence to help others, also the influence can be small, as long as we start doing something, we are helping.

I was surprised when I found out that the story of Salva is based on a true story. Salva had been through so many tough challenges in life that we would not have go through successfully. Watching who he loved dying in front of him, people he know passed away one  after one....... How could a children been through all this alone? I was also surprised that Salva had found his family after 16 years of separation. The reunion must be full of tears and happiness!

I feel surprised when I found that this is a real story. I can't imagine a eleven-year-old child was separated with his family.

It is surprising to see an eleven-year-old boy who was separated with his family could still help others. There is no war in Taiwan, so it is difficult for me to imagine Salva's pain. I admire Salva's kindness that he was able to think about others though he was poor enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Inspire that even though Salva was having a bad experience cause by he war in Sudan, he still went back to help many people.

People should not forget where they are from. It is very inspiring for a person to help what had caused pain to him/her before. This high moral standing is very rare.
