Question 1:

Marial and his uncle have a huge impact on Salvas new existence without his family because without his family, Salva wouldn't of had food, water, shelter, and safety. An example of Marial and his uncle having an impact on Salva are when Salva finds Marial, he becomes his survival buddy by helping him get the things he needs to survive like shelter and food. Another example of Marial and his uncle having an impact on Salva are when Salva loses Marial, he finds his uncle and he helps him Survive by having a gun for safety and for getting food, and for helping him to find shelter. They help change Salva so he sees the world around him as safer because Salva sees the world around him as scary with the war going on and the fights he sees around him.

Question 2: I feel the fishermen shared the food with his uncle because he seemed to be the leader of the group is more likely. I think this because it never said in the book that the fishermen saw his gun, so I'm guessing the fishermen assumed he was the leader of the group and shared the food with him for free.

1. What impact does Marial and his uncle have on Salva's new existence without his family? In what ways do they change how Salva sees the world around him?

I think the impact that Marial and the uncle have on salvas new existence without his family is that he doesn't feel alone anymore cause he has a new friend and that makes him feel better cause he didn't know anyone before he met Marial and they both lost their family. And now that salva has found his uncle he the impact on salva makes him worry less about finding his family because he has someone he knows to help him deal with that.

3. When one of the women in the group gives water to one of the men they find in the desert, someone else tells her that she will die if she shares her water. Which do you feel is making a better decision: the woman who shares her water with another or the man who keeps his for himself to better insure his own survival? Explain.

I think that keeping the water to herself is a good decision because if she shares it with the other man then she could die. I also think it's a good decision because she would have a better chance at survival rather than her sharing the water with the man.

1.Salva’s uncle had an impact on Salva because salva said to himself that he wouldn’t see his family again. That thought that he wouldn’t see his family again went away cause he found uncle and his uncle made him feel a bit more happy, more comfortable, and safer. His uncle make him feel safer because of the fact that he had a gun and was there to comfort him.

2. Salva is not sure if the fishermen share with Uncle because he has a gun was or because he seems to be the leader of the group. Which do you feel is more likely? Explain.

I feel that it is more likely for them to give him a few pieces of fish because he seems to be the leader of the group and they want the leader of the group to stay healthy and live long so that they know what they are doing and to keep people motivated enough to go through the desert and through the niles so they can go to ethiopia away from all the fighting and war in their home. It also could be because they thought he was scary with the gun and looked like a leader so they give him offerings so they won’t shoot them. This is what I think why the fisherman gave his uncle fish to eat.

3. When one of the women in the group gives water to one of the men they find in the desert, someone else tells her that she will die if she shares her water. Which do you feel is making a better decision: the woman who shares her water with another or the man who keeps his for himself to better insure his own survival? Explain.

I think that the woman is the smarter one because the other men might know more than what Salva's uncle may know about ethiopia and how to get there, and if they want to keep the other men alive she has to keep them alive enough for directions or for more knowledge on how to get there and what they should expect when they get to ethiopia. There are a bunch of reasons why she could’ve done it, you never know. She could’ve just left them there to die and for them to keep moving to a town or a village. She could’ve been hallucinating the men for family or friends that are dieting in the desert.

ways   does   Marial   change   how   Salva   sees   the   world   around   him?

I   think   that   when   salva   met   marial   he   felt   a   better   because   he   nos   that   he   not   the   only   one without   his   parents.   And   I   think   salva   felt   a   lot   better   when   he   found   his   uncle   because   he   part   of his   family   and   it   could   make   him   feel   better   with   a   family   member.   Also   he   knows   that   some watching   over   him.

1. I think the fisher men gave him the food because he had a gun and they might think that he might shoot someone for food

1. What impact does Marial and his uncle have on Salva's new existence without his family? In what ways do they change how Salva sees the world around him?

I think that mariall and his uncle had a great impact on salv. I believe this because if salve didn’t meet marial and his uncle there is a good chance that. Salva would be dead or dying of dehydration or starvation . I think that having marial and his uncle reassured salva of survival and gave him a better chance of being reunited with his family.

3. When one of the women in the group gives water to one of the men they find in the desert, someone else tells her that she will die if she shares her water. Which do you feel is making a better decision: the woman who shares her water with another or the man who keeps his for himself to better insure his own survival? Explain.

In the text when to women try to help the man I think she was doing a good thing. I also believe the man made a good point about saving water for herself so insure her own survival. I think that she could compromise and give the man half of her water so she would have some left for the journey.i think by doing this the women would still have a good chance of not getting dehydrated and she would still give the man a chance for survival. I think the women made a good choice to share her water instead of being selfish.

1)With them around he won’t get hurt or Ill and salva feels a lot more safe and he someone he can talk too.

I think the lady made a very smart choice by sharing because by her choice not as many people will get ill and it won’t spread through the whole group

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1. I think that the impact Marial has on Salva will get him through some rough times. The text explains that Marial’s family is lost and he has nowhere to go, just like Slava. I think Salva is relieved to finally have a friend who he can talk to after weeks of having no one. I also think the way that Marial changes how Salva sees the world is by showing him that he (Salva) is not alone and that other kids like him are going through the same thing.

For uncle, the text states that he says to Salva “I will keep you safe. I have a gun to shot off any lion that comes near you.” I think that when uncle said that, Salva knew that he could rely on him (uncle) and that he was there to protect him and keep him safe.

Question 3. I think that the better decision to make would be to share the water with someone else because if you can save that person’s life by sharing your water with them, then it is worth it in the end. If I was in that position, knowing that that person has a family and people that love him would allow me to make the decision of helping him out, over taking the water for myself. And if he ends up living, then I know that me giving him water saved his life so he can continue on his journey to find his family. I think that it would be very brave of the woman to share her water.

1- In the last few chapters salva was fortunate enough to join a new group and making new friends and seeing his uncle. Making new friends and seeing his uncle has made a huge impact on salva now with uncle by his side and his new friend salva isn't that worried and he feels safe. Marial has made a huge impact because he tell salva everything going to be ok you'll actually see your family again. Salva uncle has also made a huge impact on salvas journey because with uncle he feels safe because he knows uncle won't let anything happen to him.

2- In chapter 8 salvas group came across fisherman who gave them supplies salva wasn't sure though if the fishermen were scared of uncle because he has a gun or they handed the supplies to uncle because he was the leader.

I think they handed them supplies because of both reasons I believe they were scared of uncle and they knew if they didn't give them food he could do something unspeakable or because they knew they were going on a long adventure across the desert so if they wouldn't of gave them water they would

Of died and that blood would be on there hands.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the fisherman gave uncle the food because he had a gun. I think that because the uncle has a weapon so if the fisherman doesn't give him the food then uncle can threaten to shoot the fisherman for the food. Another reason why I think the fisherman gave him food because he had a gun is the uncle can steal the food without the fisherman finding out.

# data[].attributes.body
Salva is not sure if the fishermen share with Uncle because he has a gun or because he seems to be the leader of the group. Which do you feel is more likely?

I think they gave Uncle food because they were scared that he had a gun and they thought they were going to get in trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Marial impacts salva by having a friend to walk with and talk with. Salva's uncle impacts salva by comfort with having a part of the family by him to walk with, protect him and someone to rely on. That what I think marial and uncle have an impact on salva.

2. I think that the woman did the right thing because if that person was help full to the group if he was an old army soldier or he was  a doctor and he could have helped them in return give them shot cut through the desert. That what’s I think the right thing is.

# data[].attributes.body
1. They probably think that salva is losing his mind because he doesn’t know anybody in the camp and when he met marial and uncle he probably acts like they are family. It might change the way salva thinks because he knows that people care about him know and that uncle will protect him and will do all he can to keep salva safe.

2. I feel like the fishermen shared with uncle because he is the group leader and he can use the food for people in his group if they need sugar or something like that. I also think that the fishermen gave them food because they could probably see that they are really hungry and need some type of food to keep them moving.

1. What impact does Marial and his uncle have on Salva's new existence without his family? In what ways do they change how Salva sees the world around him?

Marial and uncle had a very big impact of the change of salvias perspective on his new life without his family, they kept him company and always reminded him what he was walking for. n the text is States many time that uncle reassured salvia that he was safe and protected from and danger that may try to harm salvia on their journey. Marial changes salvias perspective on his new life by showing him that even without his family with him at all times he can still live on survive without me by his side. Marial and his uncle both had very big parts in the way salvia see’s the world and how he will continue to see it from now on.

# data[].attributes.body
1 Marial and uncle impact Salva because he now has some people he knows well and can really relate to. In the text it states that Marial doesn’t know where his family is either so Salva can relate to him. Also uncle is obviously part of Salvas extended family so Salva knows uncle well. Uncle provides Salva with safety from the lions so uncle helps him feel safe. Before Salva didn’t know anyone well and didn’t have any friends in the group. Now he has uncle and Marial. They kind of change how he sees the world differently but he still doesn’t know where his family is an there is still a war.

2. I think the fishermen share with uncle because they are scared of his gun. I think this because they probably would have kept their food but they were probably scared. If it was anyone else in the group they wouldn’t have shared anything. Also in the text only uncle and Salva got food so the fisherman only gave it to them.

# data[].attributes.body
1 His uncle plays a big role because he is scared but his uncle said I have a gun I will shoot anything that try to hurt you and he said I will stay up all night for you.

3 woman tried to save  a couple men were dying so she gave them some water and she got yelled at by someone. I would help them because you could of saved them.

Question 1: After Salva found Mariel and uncle Salva allot happier and felt glad that he had a friend and his uncle around him.

Question 2: I think the fishermen were scared of uncle because he had a gun and they were afraid that uncle would hurt them.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Merial and Uncle make Salva feel better about him losing his family but still sad. Merial becomes friends with Salva which makes Salva be more distracted with his new friend. And then Uncle makes Salva happy because he knows him which enlightened Salva because he knew who he was. Marial and Uncle change how Salva sees the world around him because they make him happy and make him realize the good in the group. Like when they find the antelope he's really grateful for it and has a good time with his friend and his uncle making him realize that there is hope that he'll find his family. After Merial dies Uncle makes Salva feel better by telling him he'll stay up at night and watch him and he reassures Salva for the day making sure Salva knows that he'll be safe.

2)  I believe that the fisherman gave Uncle the food because they felt threatened by his gun. I think this because they didn't know who he was or if he was even the " leader " of the group. I feel like they didn't want to be harmed so they used the food as a peace offering.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1

Mariel and uncles impact was big because salva found a friend that is like him that also lost his family and salva also found one of his family members that were related to him. I think it also made salva feel not alone and by himself as much as before. I think that Salva’s uncle is making salva feel safer because his uncle has a gun and is like the leader of the group and could protect him from vicious animals.

Question 2

I feel like the fisherman shared his water with salva's uncle because he has a gun so uncle could shoot the fisherman or threaten him with the gun. So the fisherman was probably scared of the gun and scared to say no to him.

1.Both of them have made him less lonely especially his uncle because he is relatives with him. Merial has also been a good friend with him and he needed a person to talk with and play with. The uncle has also provided him food and safety and he feels more comfort when he is around him.

2..I think the fishermen gave him the fish right away because they probably felt nervous because he has a gun. Also they probably think he would use lethal force since he has a gun and they don't so they have him the fish so he doesn't get mad at them.

Put your name and state when answering. Select 2 of the 3 to respond to. 1. What impact does Marial and his uncle have on Salva's new existence without his family? In what ways do they change how Salva sees the world around him?

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1. In the first chapter of the book I learned that Salva’s life is way different than mine because: Salva lives in South Sudan, which is a county with a lot of war everywhere. Salva has a very worry filled life, he has to worry about war, losing his parents, etc. My life does not include any of these things or worries because Canada and the US have the same cultures and we are not included in a dictatorship, we have a democracy!

Question 3. I think the girl that shares her water made a smarter choice than the man that keeps his water. I think the woman made a better choice because she was sharing energy that could help people prevent illness that could spread through the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1:
Salva and Marial have a good bond because they are friends many best friend snow they walk together and eat together. Salva was always scared and now he is not scarred that he has his friend and his uncle. If they were not there he would be lonely and not now anyone so he would be really scared.

Question 3:
I think that the woman that shares her water is better because she is worried about the whole groups health and not just her self. She might care so much because many she has children so she is a caring person. I think that the man that doesn't share is going to be the one that will like leave the group and let them get killed and the woman would be the on like going back to get the group and help them.

# data[].attributes.body
1 Marial did help salva find happiness but it was not snuff to take the place of his family he still was heart broken that he had lost his family .but that what helped settle him is that marial was going through the same thing and he new that it. Could get better. But for a side of ralefe he had his uncle and marial had no one at all so it was good for them to be friends.

2 I think that the fisher man helped them by giving them food because they were afraid but at the same time I think that the fisher man help them because they seen how bad of shape they all were in so they felt bad so they helped them out by feeding them.

# data[].attributes.body
2. Salva is not sure if the fishermen share with Uncle because he has a gun or because he seems to be the leader of the group. Which do you feel is more likely? Explain.

I feel that the fishermen shared with uncle because he was their leader because he got on no problem and they gave them food right away. The fishermen also didn’t care what they did. Uncle probably traveled on that boat to travel and probably knew the fishermen somehow.

1. What impact does Marial and his uncle have on Salva's new existence without his family? In what ways do they change how Salva sees the world around him?

Marial had an impact on Salva because they both are   experiencing the same thing,   looking the same thing and doing the same thing. He was very positive that Salva   would find his family. Salva’s   uncle has an impact on him because the uncle
is very uplifting and positive that they will find his parents and also the Salva   will stay safe because his   uncle wants to find his parents and has a rifle from   when his was a soldier. Also Salva would probably feel safe because his uncle has a gun and can use the gun for foo, safety, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1: Marial helps Salva find happiness by convincing Salva that he will see his family again and the fact that Marial is in the same situation makes the idea of losing his family less intimidating since he is not the only one that is in the same situation. Marial helps Salva get an idea where they are going and the helps Salva understand what the group’s intentions are and what kind of journey lies ahead. Marial helps Salva keep hope inside himself and in their journey. Uncle gives Salva comfort knowing that Salva has family near him and that he always has someone to turn to. After Marial's death Uncle reassured Salva that he would take care of Salva and that he would stay up at night and watch over Salva every night.

Question 2: I think the fishermen shared with Uncle because the rest of the people in the group followed Uncle's lead and everyone relied on Uncle and his judgement.
