I put put forward to how Linda Sue Park made this book because I think  people can learn  from this book by knowing how most people are not all rich and have food to eat and not being treated wrongly because of your race. I Like how “salva” helps people survive as well and care for others when he don’t even think twice if he needs water to survive. I don’t like when salva listens to a teacher instead of going home to his family to at least escape with them, and now he can’t even see them they are dead and salva only saw his dad.
