“As Salva watched, one of the men aimed his gun at Uncle.  Three shots rang out.  Then the men ran away.” (pg.63)

"salva tried to bite his lip,but the awfulness of that never-ending day was to much for him ."

this stood out because salva was trying to keep on going even tho he was in a tremendous amount of pain ,and the desert was hot.

Another quote  is the following:
"Three shots rang out. Then the men ran"
Again that hits home because its hard to see someone die in your family right in front of you.... R.I.P Salvas Uncle

(don't mind the really bad barn on the top left)

"Three shots rang out.Then the men ran away."

This line stood out to be because Salva's uncle was the only family member he had left,and now hes dead too.

"Do you see that group of bushes? You need only to walk that far to those bushes. Can you do that, Salva Maiwen Dut Arik?"

This quote shows meaning to me because of the motivation that Salva gets as he makes his way on his journey. To me, it seems that because of this support he made it through

"As Salva watched, one of the men aimed his gun at uncle. Three shots rang out.Then the men ran away."(pg.63)
This is the most powerful line in my opinion because uncle was the only family he had in the group.

The Quote that stood out were “Salva​ stubbed​ his​ bare​ toe on​ a rock,​ and​ his​ whole​ toenail​ came off.​ The​ pain​ was​ terrible.”
It stood out because it hit home as Mr.Stephens would say because it happened to me and my older cousin.

"If I die now,I will never see my family again".
I like this quote because Salva never stopped thinking about his family.

# data[].attributes.body
Three shots rang out. Then the men ran.
This line is the most powerful in my opinion because Salva loved his uncle dearly and his uncle stated that he would protect Salva, but unexpectedly, he was killed. This has a big impact on the story because Salva's uncle was a big part of the story, protecting Salva, and promising if any sign of Salva's parents was found, Salva would be notified as soon as possible. This line left me speechless. D=

"I must try to be strong."

I like this quote because it displays true hope even in an awful situation. I like to think that if you say something and your passionate about it then you can do it.

"It is unless-They will die ,and you will die with them."
This quote stuck out to me because it is the last sentence of that chapter witch gave me more time to think about it.

"Uncle stroked Salva's head as if he were a baby. " I am sorry" he said again. a cold fist seemed to grip Salva's heart. (pg 38)

This line is powerful to me because Salva's best friend was killed by a lion and Salva felt like a fist was squeezing his heart. if that were me in Salva's place I would feel like that too. Salva had a rough life and to make a friend that was like him made him feel a lot better, (as I said Salva's life was already rough) and then loose his best friend by a lion! (I love animals but SHAME ON YOU LION!!!!!!! you made Salva's life even harder.)

three shots rang out  as salva watched his uncle get shot

this quote stood out to me because that was one salvas best friends.

"It is useless! They will die, and you will die with them!" (p. 56)

This quote stood out to me because it seems to speak for every character in this story. Even when friends and family are taken away, the people can't do anything about it and have to learn to forget about it. When people are at the brink of death, they can't be saved due to limited supplies, forcing each person to care for only them-self. Even when all of their happiness and love is stripped away, the only thing they're allowed to think about is, Stay Alive. Stay Alive. Stay Alive.

" as salva  watched ,one of the men aimed his gun at uncle . three shots rang out . then the men ran away."

i thought this line was very powerful because uncle was probably  the last family member left . that ment that salva was alone

"if you give them your water, you will  not have enough for yourself!" the same voice shouted "it is useless-they will die, and you will die with them!" (p.56)

this was powerful to me because this person was kind enough to share their water, even if they would die. they could have helped one of the men in the group live a full, happy life with that action. the sad thing is that the other people were too selfish to help any of the men with no water get some.

Salva saw all of this with one glance. Then he was running, too. Running as hard as he could, into the bush. Away from home. (pg. 7)

This Line made me think he is going trough a hard time and may never see his family again and I could feel the emotion striking me after reading that little section made me think about how fortunate we are to be in a free country not having to worry about wars a much as they do and we have roofs over our heads and food in front of us clean water .It is sad thinking that this is still happening today. In our world and there is almost no way we can fix it. We need to think more about the other people instead of only thinking about our self's.

they ordered some people to remove there clothing and took that, too.
Salva was trembling. even in the midst of his fear, he realized that for the first time on the trip, it was a good thing to be the youngest and the smallest: the men would not be inserted in his clothes. when the men had finished their looting, they picked up uncles gun. then they walked to the tree where uncle was tied up. maybe they will leave us alone now that they robbed us, Salva thought. As Salva watched, one of the men aimed his gun at uncle. three shots rang out. then the men ran away.  pg. 63

this line was important to me in the book because when they had just got done talking about finding his parents when his uncle go back to war, he was going to look for them and he promised Salva that he would, and now that he had just fond hope and now that hope is gone and he doesn't even know if he is going to find his family any more and know he is just hopeless and he has nobody anymore.

" Salva,  It was not marial who had spoken. The voice came from behind him. Salva turned. His mouth fell in amazement, but he could not speak." pg.32

It makes you  think and question who it is and it gets you hooked in to read on. Which makes it very powerful and useful in this spot of the book  and ads a little joy to salva's  life right now.

It was almost as if they had left their strength with him to help him on his journey
i like this qoute becuase it shows how much salva cared for uncle and maril that he is trying to honor them by getting out of this alive for all of them

# data[].attributes.body
"as salva watched one of the men aimed his gun at uncle"

these lines were powerful to me because salva knew he was about to lose the last of the family that he thinks he has wich was a very bad situation for salva

"No one in the group got any sleep. The mosquitos made sure of that." (page 50)
Despite of the problems the group and Salva had gone through, having to lose a family member, losing a new friend on the journey, crossing the arid desert, and danger everywhere they go is hard enough, but another problem in their hands is good enough. The reason that Salva made it that far is because is belief in his family alive and his uncle with encourage him to move. Even though his friend died without a chance to defend himself. Nad Now he has no one to encourage him to move on

"Three shots rang out and the men ran away" pg. 63

This line is powerful to me because (One of) Salva's closest and maybe last relative was just tied to a tree, robbed and shot in the head three times. OH, AND BY THE WAY, THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 10, IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED IT ALREADY! Now, his uncle is dead, and Salva might die as well as his uncle did. He has no more friends, since his uncle AND friend died. Harsh.

"It was the hardest thing Salva had ever done, taking only tiny sips when his body cried out for huge gulps of thirst-quenching, life-giving water." (p. 53)

This line is powerful to me because it reminds me of how much Salva has already been through.  The hardest thing he's ever done is trek through the Akobo desert, but he's also been through so much more.  For example, he had to run away from his school during the attack and he has been without his family for a month now. I also like how the author used "thirst-quenching" and "life giving" to remind us of Salva's exhaustion.  He is so strong for such a young boy.
