Nya is going to school! It was a school! I guessed it right!

Salva is at his father's hospital, and he has just found out that his mother, his sisters, and one out of three brothers is alive. That is a happy news, but the youngest brother Salva was always protective of did not make it. Neither did his older brother. His younger brother should be in his twenties by now, but Salva always thought him as a cute 7 year old happy young boy. That makes me feel so sad for him, and I think Salva is really tough.
What I really learned from this chapter, though, is that you need to take "one small step at a time" to achieve your goals.

In this chapter, Nya's father said that Nya's village is building something. I am guessing it is not a house. I think it is a school. But I really wonder what will happen to Nya, and I forgot how old Nya is. If someone knows, can you please tell me by commenting? That would be really helpful thanks!
In this chapter, Salva, now a young man, strong and tall, heard that his father was still alive! He and his new American family searched clinic after clinic, place after place. Salva would go back to Sudan.

Salva's trip to America was Exciting and a little bit nervous for him. The lady gave him coca-cola and it was exciting because he had only had one when his dad got it at the market. It took long trip to get there because it's along way from Kenya to New York. He had never been in the cold before. it reminds me of how cold it was in Colorado this year. I never remember being that cold. I wonder how Salva will react with his new family.

In these 2 chapters, lots of things happened. In chapter 14, Salva became a 25 year old young man. However, in chapter 15, things get much more interesting. Salva gets to go to America and start a new life! I wonder if he'll have a good life there and get to go to a university. Salva gets a new family, I wonder if he will find any connections between his old family and his adopted parents and new siblings. Also, I want to know if his old family made it out of the bombing and wars in Sudan :(

When I read this chapter, I realized how much Salva was like the work commander in Nya's village. I wonder if Salva is the leader of the workers in Nya's village. It would make sence, because when Nya was a teenager, Salva would be about in middle age.

When the soldiers forced them to go across the river back to Sudan, I would have felt really scared to be in that situation.
I think that Salva felt brave and strong as a leader to the other boys. His family and uncle gave him the strength do to this.

Today we read chapter eleven. It's a rather sad chapter. I feel like I want to cry for Salva! I think Salva was feeling very alone but braver, as they say, a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit (old Chinese saying), so I think Salva felt braver after all those losses. And I can't wait to read on, because of the huge cliff hanger at the end. I can literally feel Salva's heart pounding in my chest. Yes, in MY chest.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Salva will find his mother

Today, we read Chapter 9. It was a little bit surprising, because Salva actually lost ALL his family. Well we don't know for SURE because they didn't state it, but I'm pretty sure Salva's uncle died.

Yesterday, I listened to A Long Walk To Water on YouTube, it was Chapter 8. In this chapter, Salva went across the river Nile and was at a fishing village. At dawn, mosquitoes came into town and attacked everyone. Salva got so many bite he scratched them until they bled. That part was really interesting for me, because it felt like I was watching a movie in action.
