Nya lives after the Sudanese civil war where South Sudan was a mess. She has to carry buckets or containers of water for hours in the morning.

Salva lives during the Sudanese civil war. (even though they are forced to learn arabic because of the Northern governments beliefs.) He couldn't focus on the teacher because there was something outside the window that was more interesting than learning.

Salva lived in a quite... sexist society where girls couldn't go to school. He sometimes actually really liked and enjoyed school but sometimes he really hated it, like the rest of us.

Salva can't go to school all year because his family moves away from his village during dry season. Salva's dad was a successful man (by African standards). He owned cattle and worked as the villages judge. Salva has 3 brothers and 2 sisters. When his brothers turn 10 they can start going to school. His sisters however can't go to school because they need to learn from his mom how to take care of the house

Salva was mostly glad to go to school but sometimes he wished he can go back home and take care of some cows. With the animals, it depended on how old you are to do certain things. He remembered eating something and he regretted remembering it because it made him hungry. There was a gunshot and he was supposed to not run into the village. The war that started 2 years ago came to wherever Salva lived. He wanted to go back to his family but when he saw people running away, he joined them.

From the tiny paragraph that was given: Nya when going to get water, she tries to not step on spiky things. She ended up stepping on a thorn and she tried to get it out by taking another thorn and take it out. "She pressed her lips together against the pain." Yeah I would guess that pulling a thorn out of your leg would be painful.

Salva started following a group of people outside of the village. The group of people was so big that they couldn't be all from Salva's village. When they were down the path someone said that everyone should divide into groups by villages. He went to the group with his village and didn't see his family. So they went to sleep while the older men took shifts to look over the villages people. The next morning, they continued walking down the path to an unknown location. They see a group of (i guess) men walking with (probably) AK-47's and they surrounded Salva and the rest of the villages (I am actually not sure if the different villages went their own ways. So we are going to assume that all the villages went with the ~rebels~) So this group called the ~rebels~ (that are the ones fighting the northern government of Sudan). Surrounded the groups of villages and led them to the village/camp that the ~rebels~ were staying at. They divided the villages into men and to women and children. Salva wants to join the men even though he is not old enough (lol he thinks he is important). The guard told him he is not important and sent him on his way to the women and children section. The men have to do a bunch of stuff while the ladies and germ bags do absolutely nothing. It took Salva a while to fall asleep because of his over-thinking (that I can relate to). When Salva is conscious he can feel that something is wrong. When he opens his eyes, he sees no one. Nothing. They all left him and I guess he is all on his own.

Nya, when she arrived at the pond, she drank some of the water to feel cooler. She filled her container up to the top with water and put it on top of her head. Her foot was still sore from the thorn. She realized that getting back home will take longer than coming.

Salva was crying because he was left by the rest of the group because the group probably thought that he would complain and set them back. He looked outside and saw a person. A woman was sitting in the sun with a ritual scar that was from Salva's tribe. Salva goes on to explain the beef between his tribe (the dinka tribe) and their rivals (the nuer tribe). The woman noticed him and decided to give him peanuts because he looked like he was starving. He goes on to telling the woman about why he was there in the first place. Since he didn't want to be kicked out by the woman, he decided to work very hard. The woman wants to move to a different village near water and doesn't want to take Salva with her because he could possibly be killed. Then Salva saw a group of people who were talking that had a V-shaped scar on their foreheads. He thought that his family could possibly be amongst that crowd.
