In Salva's home in Rochester has electricity and in Rochester all of the roads are paved unlike Sudan where there are dirt roads. Salva also said that their were white people everywhere. Lastly in Rochester Salva saw a lot of snow and cars that speeded right by him while crossing the street.

I think that Salva should ignore his father's request because then he can see his family even thought he should listen to his father, but I think he is going to see his family.

I believe that water has the power to bring people together and pull them apart because you could see that when there is very little water people become selfish and secludes themselves from the group. It can also make them really happy to have enough clean water for everyone. That is why water is so important it can change how we live and what we do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think water does have the power to drive people apart because if there isn't enough of it, people start fighting over it.

# data[].attributes.body
Rochester NY is different from salvas old home in Sudan in many ways one being access to clean water almost any where. And there are a lot more cars than in Sudan. In Rochester he has a computer an electricity and probably lots off mangoes if he wants them.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think water has the power to bring people together or drive them apart. Water can bring people together by forcing people to come together to find water. Water can also drive people apart by making some have to travel away from others to find water.

I think it would be smart if salva listened to his dad but I think if he is dying to see his family and is willing to serve the consequents of not listening then he can go for it because once he is with his family he is pretty much safe.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that water has the power to pull people together and push people apart because people can fight over water and get in disagreements or there might be enough clean water to share, and people might be very thankful ,helpful ,and happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva should've ignored his father's word to go see his family because Salva hasn't seen his family in a while and I think that he should visit them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that water can change how a person feels about another person because they can fight very much when there is little water and only one person wants to keep it, and it can also bring people together when 2 people will share the water so they both can drink water in peace. It has many different outcomes and it only depends on the people who are in control of the water.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Salva should not ignored his father because then Salva would be fighting in the war. Salva's father did not want him to go because Salva's brothers were already fighting in the war.

Question #4  -  I certainly think that water has the power to drive people apart. Water is a need in life. For this people will go to any extent. And for this water people, families, villages, or even countries may go to war. But water can also bring people together because if these same people, families, villages, or countries sat down and shared the water equally , less people will die and more people will get water even if it is very little water.

# data[].attributes.body
In Rochester, NY they have electricity, clean water, houses, paved roads but Salva's home has dirty water, huts, unpaved dirt roads.

# data[].attributes.body
I think water can do both bring people together, and drive them apart, one reason is because, every one needs water and some people don't have clean water and some people do so they might fight. My second reason is, again some people have clean water and some people don't, so the people who have clean water, they can share it, which can make them friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Nya's father is referring to a school. I think this because Nya real wants to go to school. Also because they found a really big water source so kids and adults won't need to walk 1 mile a day to get water.

#4 Water is central to everything in our story. Do you think water has the power to bring people together or drive them apart?

# data[].attributes.body
Rochester, NY is different than Salva's home because NY has a lot more, cleaner water. They are similar because they both have buildings, some of them being homes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think water has the power to bring and drag people apart this is because water is something you can't really live without and it is really important in life so if one person gets some and the other doesn't or if you don't share the water equally there can be fighting and mad people yelling, but it can also bring people together but some people go fetch water for other people so they thank them and they good grow a good relationship with other people or have a stronger relationship with family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that he can live with the consequences that follow
from disobeying his father to see his family

# data[].attributes.body
First, In Rochester, NY "every road was paved"unlike in Sudan were their were dirt roads. secondly, "cars whizzed by so fast" wile in Sudan, i don't believe their were cars. Lastly, in NY "All the buildings had electricity, There were white people everywhere and Snow fell from the sky for hours at a time."

# data[].attributes.body
I think that water will bring people together and drive them away because water is important to the people and they need it to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
Rochester is more modern than Sudan. There is clean water, better schools, and no civil war

# data[].attributes.body
I think water have the power to drive people apart and bring them together, because it is something that can cause people to fight over. If there is too little, then people can be driven apart by fighting for it. If there is a lot, then people will share, and maybe become friends since they're sharing water. In conclusion, water does have the power to drive people apart, and bring them together.

# data[].attributes.body
Rochester and salva's home are completely different. For example back in his home town there aren't any concert roads, the clean water isn't as good, schools aren't great and there always in war but in Rochester there is WIFI, clean water, concert roads, good schools, and no war.

# data[].attributes.body
Water has the power to bring people together or drive them apart because everyone needs water. People fight over water because they need it to survive. And it can bring people together because they also need it. People work together to find water in this book.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that water has the power to drive people apart and bring them together. Based on the book, the main ethnic groups/tribes are the Nuer and the Dinka. These two tribes literally fight over who should have the land next to water. This proves that water is something that drives groups apart. Water can also bring people together. Based on the book, where water is, people flock all over to get it. Also, when the well was built and functional, everyone celebrated, for they now had easy access to water. I think that war could very much break out over water if the freshwater we need to consume becomes a very scarce resource in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Salva should have ignored his fathers request because I know that Salva has been wanting to see his family for years. I know that Salva would be able to face the consequences of going bacjk to Africa to see his mother and father.

I think water has the power because if there is very little water than people will be more defensive about and not want to be with the others. when there are a lot of water than they will be happy because of the more water.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion water has the power to bring as well as drive people apart. For example, two tribes will fight for water since it's so scarce and may even fight for water. However, it also has the power to bring people together. Such as when the fountain was built in Nya's village every rejoiced and celebrated.

He should go to Sudan to see his parents because he hasn't seen them in years he lost them a long time ago.

# data[].attributes.body
I think water can bring people together and drive them apart because when there is not a lot of water people become rude and selfish and don't leave any water for other people but it can also bring people together because in the book Salva brought clean water to Nya's community when there were still conflict between the their tribes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he should listen to his dad because even though he wants to see his family he should be thankful he is with his dad and not fighting war possibly even facing death.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva should of ignored his dad because family is everything and Salva hasn't seen his family in years, going back to Sudan is the only way he can see his family. Salva has learned so much so I think he is old enough and strong enough and also smarter enough to go back to Sudan. Yes he would face consquences but at least you can see your family and maybe stay there.

# data[].attributes.body
water has the power to pull people together when every one works for a common goal they can build lasting relation ships. but in the case of the dinka and nuer the dinka and nuer fight for control of water and other resorses. the fighting pulls people apart.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Nya's father is referring to that they are building a school. I think this because as the school was built, Nya was very excited and grateful that finding water won't take up her time. With this information, we can infer that she really wanted to go to school and get an education.

# data[].attributes.body
On Rochester Ny it has many advanced technology and clean water everywhere. Also there is stores and dirt roads and cars. Many advanced things in Rochester. Compared to Salva's home where its dirty and there is no access to clean water. Also there is a war going on so its very disruptive and harmful over in Salva's home. Salva's home is much more rougher than Rochester.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Salva should ignore his father and go see his family and to finally get a bound or a relationship started or proceed their relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva should have ignored his fathers request. As we all know family is extremely important and scene Salva has not seen his family in years and his father is not well it would be important to get to see family before they could lose someone.

Rochester was a city with many stores, roads, and cars. The roads were fully paved unlike where Salva used to live where it was dirty and cracked. This area was a lot more developed and advanced than where Salva lived.

I think Salva should listen to his dad because he isn't home he doesn't know what could happen if he went home he is safe now but if he goes back I think he could get in danger.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it was smart that Salva listened to his dad because even though he wanted to see the rest of his family there was still a war going on so if Salva went and saw the rest of his family he most likely would be chosen to fight in the war, so i don't think that he should of ignored his family. It would have been a tuff desision for me but i think that he made the right desision.

# data[].attributes.body
Rochester New York is very different to Salva's home since Rochester has many cars, clean water, electricity, and more. Furthermore, there is no war going on in Rochester unlike Salva's old home. There are also faucets you are able to access within seconds. Salva did not have faucets at his old home. Not only were there material differences but Salva also had a different family in his homes. Lastly, there were paved roads in Rochester and in his old home, there were only dirt roads.

# data[].attributes.body
Question #3 - I think that Salva should listen to his dad because his dad obviously said that for a reason and that it could be really dangerous but he wouldn't know because he has not been there for a long time. And he could potentially be putting himself in danger so I think that he should listen to his dad.

# data[].attributes.body
No I don't think Salva's father is wrong. Even though Salva really wanted to return to Sudan there still was a war going on. I think Salva's father really wanted Salva to stay but he knew it was for the best for Salva to live his best life. If Salva would've stayed yes he would be reunited with his family but its still as stuff as when Salva was a little boy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he shouldn't have ignored his father's request because there is still a war going on and if he goes back to see his family he might get injured or killed considering there is a war going on.

Rochester, Ny is very different from Salva's home in Sudan. One thing that was different was that in NY it was very cold and they had a real winter with snow unlike in Sudan it was always hot and never got cold. Another thing that was that in Sudan there was not that many buildings but in NY there was TONS of them and they are very big. Even though Slava had to learn a lot of new things one of them was trying to learn how to get around the city. Lasty, one of the biggest difference is that in NY they had easy access to healthy water. In Sudan you would have to go walk far for water but in NY you had to walk 5 steps to get water from the sink.

Compare and Contrast Rochester, NY to Salva’s home.

Rochester, NY is very different to Salva's home. In Rochester, there is good technology. There are cars for getting around, there is a lot of water that you can access in a blink of an eye, there are houses and apartments, and there are paved roads everywhere. In Salva's home, there is very limited water, the villages have houses that are not very good quality, all of the roads were dirt and you got around by foot.

Rochester, NY is very different from Salva's home. This is because Rochester, NY is very cold, that's why people wear big jackets. Salva's home is very hot and humid.

Salva had been in Rochester for nearly a month and still had not seen a single dirt road. Unlike southern Sudan, it seemed that here in America every road was paved.

Rochester is much more developed than Salva's old home. There are paved roads instead of dirt roads, and cars are found everywhere, driving all the time. Rochester's climate is also much much colder than where Salva used to live. Coming during winter, Salva also was able to experience snow, which he has never seen before. Every building had electricity in the city, which was something not everyone had access to where he used to live.

I think Salva should ignore his farther's request if his farther isn't fighting in the war but if he is then i think Salva should accept the request. The reason I think Salva should ignore the request is to see what is happening with his farther and see if he can help. The other reason is if his farther is fighting the war and Salve to accept the request is to stay alive and help others in need.

And an idea came to him—an idea of what he might be able to do to help the people of Sudan. Could he do it? It would take so much work! Perhaps it would be too difficult. But how would he know unless he tried?

I definitely think that water has this capability, especially in less developed areas like Africa where water is a huge part in everything they do. Being such a precious resource, it could call for conflict between two peoples (ex. the Dinka and the Nuer), and humanitarian efforts (ex. Salva's effort to bring clean water to places in Sudan).

Yes, I think that water has the power to bring people together and drive them apart. For example going to a lake is water so maybe you and your family are coming together to go to the lake and swim. One way water can drive us apart is taking advantage of it and taking all of the last bit of water to yourself like some people in Sudan during the trip, that kept the water to themselves instead of sharing with the dying men.
