I think they are in different tribes because Linda Sue Parks wants to show how the two different tribes live and compare them. It might be important to the novel because they might come together and cause a turning point. I think they will connect in some way i think that Salva and Nya will meet each other on the path and become good friends.

I think Linda Sue park wants to show how the tribes are different and similar like they both have cattle as a prize

I think the author has them in different tribes be cause it shows how different the 2 tribes are. Having them in different tribes is important because if they were in the same tribe you would have no idea what was going on in the other tribe. I think that Nya and Salva will connect in some way because the war will go on for hundreds of years so Salva will probably bump into Nya after walking for a LONG time. Also it would drive me CRAZY if the book didn't end with them meeting in some way.

I think the author put Salva and Nya in different tribes because I think they will meet near the end of the story. I think they will connect because in the text it has Salva and Nya in enemy tribes. I think that is important to the story because if they were in random tribes it would be kind of weird to tell both stories in the same book.

I think that the author put them in different tribes because I think they will meet sometime in the story. Being in different tribes for Salva and Nya is important to the novel because since they are both in enemy tribes, they might meet and somewhat end the conflict going on in the different tribes. I think they do connect. I think they will connect when Salva is old and is still doing the walk and Nya gives him some water

I think the author has them in different  tribes because she wants to compare and contrast the characters in different groups and she might bring them together at the end and also think that's why she put  them in different tribes, that may also be the  reason she might be intersecting them their also might be a interference with the Nuer tribe

I think the author would put Salva and Nya in different tribes due to each tribe having there own life style. So the different lifestyles may have different strengths and different weaknesses. Also the conflict between the too tribes could add extra hardships and worries thought the story.... Salva and Nya may connect though there differences of culture and so maybe not everyone in one tribe hates the other people in the other tribe!!!!!!!

I believe that Linda Sue Park has Nya and Salva in different tribe because the author may want to show what it was like living in both the Nuer tribe and Dinka tribe.
I believe Nya and Salva being in different tribes important because the author may want us to learn about both tribes, not just the Nuer tribe or Dinka tribe, and wants us to be aware of both tribes, so we don't think there is only one tribe.
I don't believe they will connect because in the beginning of the book Linda Sue Park told us the two separate times in the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author has them in different tribes to show what the life of being in each tribe. It is important for them to be in each tribes because it shows how hard it is for each tribe. I don't think they will connect in the story because each of their story's are in different time frames and they are in different tribes.

*I think the author of the book put Nya and Salva in different tribes so we could get both perspectives.

*Maybe the story will advance in time and Salva will be able to meet Nya and that might produce conflict or they might become  allies ( Turning point). Since Salva's story is in 1985 and Nya's story is in 2008 they could possibly meet up since Salva is going for such a long walk and might take many years so they might see each other.

I think the author put Salva and Nya in different tribes because later in the book, the Nuer and the Dinka might fight and Nya and Salva might meet each other. Being in different tribes could be important because they might have a conflict between the two tribes. I think they will connect by Nya and Salva meeting each other in the end and cause peace between the two tribes by becoming friends.

I think the author has them in different tribes because it might help the reader see how things are different and the same in the tribes. I believe at some point in the story thy will interact with each other and something big will change. Maybe in a good way or maybe in a bad way. For example they might run into each other and get into a fight, or they might run into each other and decide that there is no purpose fighting since they have been enemies for hundreds of years.

I think the author has Nya and Salva in different tribes because we will be able to see what life was like in both tribes. I think being in different tribes is important to the novel because if they meet we will know their back story. think they will connect by meeting each other at the end of the book.

I think the author put Nya and Salva in different tribes so there can be some type of conflict between the two characters and their tribes. Being in different tribes may be important to the novel because you can learn more about the two tribes in the novel and the two tribes may lead to a conflict. I think the two characters and their tribes will connect in some way because they may both realize that they suffer from some of the same problems or difficulties.

I think having Salva and Nya in different tribes is important because it may show the differences and similarities between there cultures. I think they might connect because the Nuer and Dinka tribes have been enemies for centaureys

# data[].attributes.body
I think it would be so we could compare the different tribes.
It also gets more knowledge to you so that you know its not all peace-peace, but they have enemies too, like the Nuer tribe and the rebels.

I think that that it could be important so you can see that there are two different beliefs, and there are two different perspectives onto the tribes, and the tribes might connect and they might need to put aside their differences and work together against the rebels.😊

I think Nya will meet Salva as an adult in the other tribe. I think the author has Nya and Salva in different tribes because the two tribes are enemies so their paths cross.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the Author has Salva and Nya in different tribes because if they are, you can see the perspective of both tribes and how the tribes had to live. I think this is important because if Salva and Nya meet, (Which I think they will)You will know about both tribes, and will have an idea about how they will react to each other. I believe Salva and Nya will meet because I think that could help the story continue on with new problems and things that will happen.

I think it would be important in the novel in comparing the two tribes together and maybe Salva or Nya with interact with the two different tribes maybe fighting or trying to blend in with the other tribe. Like I said maybe the two tribes not at the same time but maybe if the two tribes battle or make not a truce but negotiations. The reason why I think them being in different tribes could help the readers in getting to know the two different tribes but also how they are alike. In the story the tell a lot of small  details between the two tribes.

I think that the author has them is different tribes because she might want us to be able to see how different the tribes are from each other and what they do that's the same too. Them being in different tribes might be important to how the two tribes act against each other. i think this because in the paragraph that we read in class says that they are located at around the same location. in the book it also says that the two tribes have been fighting for hundreds an hundreds of years. i think they will connect in the story because they were put in different time zones so they could compare and contrast how they act the same and how they act differently. I think that Salva and Nya will for sure connect in the story.

I think that the author chose to put Nya and Salva in different tribes so that the readers can have two different perspectives of the war and how the war affected the people of Sudan in different tribes. . I think that it's important that they're in different tribes because then the readers of the story can learn more about Sudan, the tribes, the conflict ,and the differences that they have. I think that Salva and Nya won't meet themselves because they live in different time period. But I think that one of Nya's family members might have a connection with one of Salva's family members in the future or the opposite.

He May have put Nya and Salva in different tribes because it would let you see what they are like. It would make the novel more interesting so that you can see the similarities and differences of the rival tribes. I think Nya may meet Salva later in the story when Salva is an adult.

# data[].attributes.body
I  think the author has Nya and Salva in different tribes to see what different tribes life is like. Nya and Salva have very different lives, and as they are rivals and hate each  other, you can see different perspectives of life in Sudan. Both tribes serve importance so you can get an idea of how different our life is than theirs, and the conflict that happens between different tribes in Sudan. If you tell a story from a single point of view, it wouldn't be as interesting.

I believe that they will connect somehow towards the end, but they are in different time points, so if they do meet each other, Salva would be older, as his time is set in 1985, and Nya, in 2008. If they do connect somehow, each individual would be older.

I think that Linda Sue Park has Salva and Nya in different tribes so that we can gain knowledge about the Dinka tribe and the Nuer tribe. Being in different tribes may be important to the novel because the author may want you to know that neither tribe is as bad as the other tribe may make it seem. I think they will connect in some incredibly strange way. Everyone I talk to who has read the book make it seem like the end is super amazing and mind blowing. I feel that Salva and Nya may be related in some way because it looks like the times would line up pretty well.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author put Salva and Nya in different tribes because you can see what is happening between both tribes. Since they are in rival tribes, you can see what is different point of views.
Different tribes are important because they are rival tribes. You can see what the Nuer tribe is doing and what the Dinka tribe is doing.
I  think they will connect because when Salva walks, the Nuer tribe might see them. Also since the tribes are in Sudan they could see each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I believe that later in the book Salva and Nya being in different tribes will show some sort of significance. It may be an important event where a war or fight happens , or it may be to show how they live differently in different tribes.That is why I think Linda Sue Park put Salva and Nya in different tribes.There is also a possibility of Salva and Nya meeting in the end and making a truce with there tribes or having a war.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author put Salva and Nya in different tribes so you can compare the time periods and the struggles that both of them are going through. Being in different tribes could be important to the novel so there can be two sides of the story, if you were in the same tribe it wouldn't be as interesting. I do think they will connect in some way because the war will eventually come to an end and different tribes can meet without any violence.

Why do you think the author has Nya and Salva in different tribes? How might being in different tribes be important to the novel? Do you think they will connect in some way? Why or why not?
