Nya's journey is harsh, painful, tiring, and long. If I had her responsibility I would be very frustrated that I couldn't go to school, tired from walking all day for water, and I would feel like giving up even though I would have to bring my family water.

Milan E. CALIFORNIA

2017-09-06 19:55:01 UTC

I learned Salva's life and culture have many hardships. These include having to leave his family when the gun shots sound, not able to go to school the whole year, and also not having running water to rely on. His culture and life is nothing like my own.

Haylee, California

2017-09-06 19:55:04 UTC

Salva's life is is hard working and having to be aware of surrounding. If he didn't, he wouldn't know that wars could be start with a blink of an eye in Sudan. We can not relate to Salva's life to our own because we have things like cars and stores when he has to hunt and walk. We also don't hear or see bombs and gun shots every day.

jenna california

2017-09-06 19:55:06 UTC

If i had the responsibility that nya has to do every day I would probably get tired of it because it would take a lot of work to make all those trips to get water for my family

Different tribes tell themselves part by having different signs on their body.I would tell myself apart from kids with other cultures by seeing if they celebrate the same holidays as me. l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|

Salvas life and culture is bad. They get treated poorly. The only thing we have in common is that we both have parents. :)

melanie-california

2017-09-06 19:55:14 UTC

Different tribes would be able to tell the other tribes apart with a design or a sign on someones body, mainly the forehead. I tell myself apart from other students and cultures some ways can be asking or listening to their story.

Nya's journey is difficult.

Bahar-California

2017-09-06 19:55:22 UTC

Everyday Nya has to walk miles in the fiery heat to fetch water for her family. This is extremely difficult and tiring for such a young person like Nya, to do. If I were to be in her place I would feel so dreadful, exhausted, miserable, and more. She is a very strong and helpful young girl and her family has to depend on her for their water supply. I really hope that one day none of the girls in Africa have to go through such hardship in their lives and will have the chance to go school.

Joseph California

2017-09-06 19:55:24 UTC

Nya's journey is very hard she has to go and get water very early and she returns late and the on the journey she could get killed or hurt badly by a wild animal. Life would be very hard if I had to do a task for most of the day everyday and I can end up dead. Salva's life is hard when its very dry and they need to go get water but when he has water he is able to go to school. no my life is not like Salvas. The tribes tell them selves apart by marking on their skin

Conner-California

2017-09-06 19:55:25 UTC

The tribes can tell each other apart with signs and scars on their foreheads like the "V" for the Dinka tribe. I can tell myself apart from other people of other cultures by asking them.

Olivia, California

2017-09-06 19:55:25 UTC

Nya is responsible for the survival of her entire family. She walks a long distance back and forth, every day, just to get water. She doesn't even have shoes and she has to walk that distance multiple times a day for seven months out of the year. She doesn't get to go to school because she is so busy getting water, not to mention the heat. I don't know how I would feel if I was faced with such a huge, demanding responsibility. I would eventually probably leave, though I don't know where I would think of going.

Jess-California

2017-09-06 19:55:27 UTC

Different tribes tell eachother apart by having tribal/ritual scars. I tell myself apart from other cultures by asking them.

Shane-California

2017-09-06 19:55:28 UTC

Nya's journey is painful and repetitive and I wouldn't even put myself in her shoes for a day

Parker-california

2017-09-06 19:55:28 UTC

The way the tribes are recognised are through a certain ritual or makeup like scars or paint, and the way i tell myself apart from other cultures is language, clothing, and manerisms.

Josh C.A.

2017-09-06 19:55:33 UTC

I learned that Salva can tell his tribe from others is that they have special markings on their heads. I can tell people apart by how they look.

Ben California

2017-09-06 19:55:35 UTC

3 questions that Salva might be asking right now might be
1. Where is my family?
2. Where is everyone?
3. Why was I left to die?
I think that his family is in the bush hiding too and everyone left early because they heard gunshots and he didn't wake up so he got left behind to die because they didn't have enough time. If I was in this then I would be shocked and probably would have followed the lady even if she would tell me not to.

Rider California

2017-09-06 19:55:39 UTC

What we learn about Salva's life is that he has it hard living in the desert, walking to school, miles away, and always in the middle of a war. Luckily, this is nothing like my life.

question #3 Everyday Nya walks miles and miles to get water for her family.I am one of those people who if its past 100 decrease outside i will (figuritively) die of heat stroke. So, I think i might actually die in Nya's case. I hope That Salvas water company gets anough money to make well in every village

Elias California

2017-09-06 19:56:35 UTC

We learned that Salva's life is nothing like ours because they don't have fresh water to drink or phones .
The questions that Salva might be asking himself: is my family okay, Were am I, and were is my family.
If i had a life like Nya's going to get water everyday walking miles everyday i would feel terrible.
Different tribes tell each other apart from the markings on their head.

jenna california

2017-09-06 19:58:07 UTC

i learned that we are lucky
to have what we have. For example for us we can just turn a focit and get water and fro them they have to work to get it.

Jayda California

Nya's journey was very hard, and if I had that responsibility I would be very sad and lonely.

2017-09-06 20:03:37 UTC

In tribes people can them apart of how they look, in Salva's tribe when boys become a man they have a V shape scar on there head. You can tell people apart from skin color,ways they dress,etc.

Luke-Arizona

2017-09-20 16:38:58 UTC

The three questions Salva asked himself were 1. Where am I going (I would find my tribe) 2. Where is my family. With the tribe most likely. 3. when will I see them again. In a long time.

The 3 questions that occupy Salva's mind are
#1:Where is my family?
#2: Where do i go?
#3: I have been in a war for 2 years so I know that there be fighting.

Sophia, Arizona

2017-09-20 16:40:24 UTC

On Nya's journey she has to take a long walk to find water, she has to walk through thorns, and she has to walk all the way back. I would feel very pressured if I have a responsibility like that.

Nichole, Arizona

2017-09-20 16:40:24 UTC

I noticed that Salva has to work for his food and that he has little amount of it and where i live we can just go to the store and buy whatever food we want.

It's just crazy how people like Nya have to travel every morning just for water. i'm glad that we have access to clean, pure, water anytime. If i had such a responsibility, i'd have a nervous breakdown.

Olivia, Arizona

2017-09-24 22:01:06 UTC

Nya is a young girl the age of 11, and she has to go everyday on a long trip to get water for her family. I think that if I had her job, I would not be able to keep up with the responsibilities she has.

Madeleine, Brooklyn, Kaylee-Oregon

erin_sutro — 2017-09-27 16:50:45 UTC

We learned that Salva has two older brothers and two younger sisters. In Salva's culture the girls don't go to school. Salva's family is part of the Dinka tribe, and speaks their language. Salva used to hunt small animals with his bow and arrow.

Kason, Drake, Damion-Oregon

erin_sutro — 2017-09-27 16:52:01 UTC

Salva was a 11 year old boy who lived in Southern Sudan ,Then escaped a invasion and was left behind in a barn in 1985, and is part of the Dinka tribe.

Quinn, Massachusets

2017-09-28 14:37:40 UTC

Three questions that go through Salva's head are "Where am I going? Where is my family? When will I see them again?" I think that he will go to a refugee camp in another country. Also I think that his family is safe and will meet him in a refugee camp. I think he will see them again in or near one of the refugee camps. In the same circumstance some thoughts going through my mind would be, Is my family okay? Will I be okay? Will I ever see my friends and family again? Where will I go? Will I ever go home again?

Madison Gariepy, Georgia

2017-09-28 18:41:07 UTC

Where am I going? Will i ever see my family again? Where is my family? Salva will go to Kenya then find his father and know that his family is fine. I would be afraid but i would keep moving on. Nya had to fetch water everyday for her family and she had to do it barefoot.
I would feel responsible and courageous. The tribes are separated by scars on the face of teens and young to old adults. One I can speak German and Japanese in an english school. Two I like a lot of gore and boy things while all girls and boys in my school are either girly or they hate blood. Finally three, I like to write and read about people who are homosexual.

Question: What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

Answer: In Salva's village and culture only boys went to school while the girls stayed home and learned how to house. I am lucky that I can go to school even if I am a girl unlike Salva's country. They are learning to speak Arabic in school which is the official language of the Sudanese government. In Salva's family the boys went to school around ten years old. Before they go to school they herd the cattle, made cows out of clay to sell, and play archery practice. Salva's tribe's name are the Dinka's. Most Dinka's wear a V on their forehead which is their tribe's symbol. Salva's village was called loun-ariik in Southern Sudan. My life is a lot different than Salva’s because I am a girl and I go to school and I speak english and they speak Arabic and their former language. I also don’t have a tribe and Salva does. I don’t have cattle and he does. And last but not least They have a dry season and a rainy season, where I have Winter, Summer, Spring, and Fall. I Have already learned so much by just reading the first few chapters.

Leona, Massachusetts

2017-09-29 14:23:51 UTC

Salva Dut is an eleven year old boy that lives in Southern Sudan. The question I choose is "what do we learn about Salva's life a culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?" In the first chapter I learned many things. One thing I learned is that at his school he doesn't have chairs, they have benches. Some other things I learned are he lives in a village not a town. He doesn't go to school all year, he only goes during the rainy season. The water they drink is brownish yellow, unlike ours that is clear and fresh. Also, there are big wars there. Some similarities are, we are the same age. Another similarity is, we both go to school.

Quinn, Massachusets

2017-09-29 14:35:42 UTC

What we learn from Salva's culture is that his tribe (the Dinka tribe) and the Nuer tribe had been fighting over the richest water grounds for years because no one knew where the Nuar Dinka's land began and ended. Also when a boy becomes a Man in the Dinka tribe they get a triangle shaped cut on their foreheads. Another thing is that the people in salva's family make cows out of clay and also watch the heards of real cows that salva's family owns. Also the village that Salva lives in (loun-Ariik) was named after his grandfather and his father was the judge of his village wich was considered a great honor.

Quentin, Massachusetts

2017-09-29 14:37:49 UTC

Nya's journey she had to take everyday two times a day was she had to walk eight hours a day twice to get a whole gourd full of water for her family to drink water. If I had to do what Nya does, I would be exhausted trying to get there and back . I would not want to have to walk eight hours twice a day everyday.

Liah, Massachusetts

2017-09-29 14:39:29 UTC

Salva Dut is an eleven yer old boy who live in Southern Sudan. I picked the question, "What do we learn about Salva's life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?" In the first chapter Salva is at school, but his mind is drifting away from the lesson. They are learning to speak Arabic language, which is the offical language of the Sudanese government. Salva has a Father, Mother, two older brothers, one younger brother, and two sisters. In his culture when a son turns 10 he attends school. His sisters, like many other girls stay home and learn how to keep house with their Mother. His father owns a cattle farm, so when the boys get home from school they help watch the cattle. Salva's younger brother has one cow to look after, but when he gets older he will eventually get to look after more cows than one. The cows don't need that much attention so after they watch the cows they make cows out of clay. They compete to see who has the best cow! Salva's culture is alot different than mine because, he has a tribe and I don't. He also speaks Dinka and is learning Arabic. I only know English. Also he has a 30 minute walk to school, and I don't. And last his sisters do not attened school, and I do.

Nyaś journey every day is painful and long, for getting water it took the whole afternoon going and coming back , it depends on how long the journey takes her . When she is walking she gets thorns on her feet and she has to walk on the dry dirt with bare feet. It´s hot and the bucket that she is carrying is heavy.

Emmy,Massachusetts

2017-09-29 14:55:55 UTC

Nya has a very important journey she has to take everyday it is painful,hot and tiring what see does is get water for her family at a water pond.The water in the water pond is not much . If I had such an essential responsibility I would feel a little lonely since it is a long way all the by yourself.Also, I would be very tired because its a long way and the water is really heavy.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture for the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

Salva is 11 and goes to school. His family lives in a village and has 5 children. Salva and his brothers go to school but the girls stay home and help the mother housekeep. In Sudan there was a war and everybody had to run away and Salva got broken up from his family. He was grouped with the Dinka tribe and he got left in the barn with nobody there because he was a kid not a man. I go to school too and I am 11. I have two siblings and I wonse got separated from my parents at a fair and I cried until I found them.

How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other?What are some ways you tell yourself apart from other students of other cultures?

Different tribes tell themselves apart from each other by putting ritual scar patterns on their forehead to tell what tribe they were in.Some ways you can tell yourself apart from other students of other cultures by celebrating different holidays, speaks a different language, clothing, food they eat, and their accent.

Rakeem,Massachusetts

2017-09-29 18:27:55 UTC

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Nya’s journey. Nya has to wake up and start a long walk to get water with no breakfast. Each day she goes by heat and thorns that get stuck in her foot And it happens every day. She would carry a container with air than when she got the water and the container gets heavier. If the going went well she would get home by noon time. If I were Nya with that big responsibility I would feel a lot of pressure and exhausted.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Nya's journey is very challenging there are hills the weight of the water and the fact that you can not spill your water. because of there being no water for them at the village where they live they walk almost 15 miles everyday and does not get to go to school where we can. Nya may only speak one language and know how to take care of a home

Nya has to walk for several hours a day just to get water for her family. The water isn't even clean, It's filled with bacteria. If I had to do this everyday, I would be very tired and stressed all the time. I would be hoping for a better, more efficient solution.

The different tribes told themselves apart by language, markings, and by what they believe.

Tucker, New York

2017-10-02 12:56:53 UTC

The different Tribes tell themselves apart by markings and beliefs. In the book when Salva is staying in the woman's barn he is thankful because she has the same marks as his tribe.

Salva's life and culture is
different and is also very hard. He has to move every dry season away from his school and his friends. He also has to take care of a certain amount of cattle which the amount he has to watch grows and grows. Salva's life is completely different from the life that I live because I don't have to move during different seasons to get water instead I can go into my kitchen and grab a glass and fill it up by turning and lifting a handle. I also don't have to watch cattle and hunt for my food every night. Instead I just have to go to the nearest store and get my dinner. Salva's life is completely different from mine.

4. How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures? My answer is that each tribe has scares on their faces which represents what tribe they are in. So all the tribes have different scares on their faces.

Grady, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:07 UTC

The different tribes tell them apart by the scars and maybe clothes too. I can tell myself apart by ethnicity and my religion and sometimes even personality. :)

Ryan, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:09 UTC

Nya has such a big responsibility in her family to get water. She faces a lot of challenges like the heat, thorns, and the dangerous animals. If I was in Nya's shoes I would probable be very nervous and not be able to focus.

Joe, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:09 UTC

How do different tribes tell themselves apart? These tribes tell themselves apart by scar patterns on their face i think this is very weird and maybe even painful too the people of the tribes.For example in the book Salva was able too tell if people were friendly bye telling if they are Dinka (Salva's Tribe) or another tribe that may be in war with the dinka tribe and may want to injure Salva.

This is somebody with a Dinka tribe scar.

Question: What 3 thoughts occupy Salva's mind? The 3 thoughts that are most likely going through his mind is where is my family, what is happening, and where do I go? In the book that is what is going through his head. He had hope after he heard people calling for people in the town that he lived in.

Isla, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:17 UTC

Nya is around 11 and she has to walk everyday just to get water for her family. And its not just 5 minutes. It is hours. If I had to carry a super heavy container on my head for that long, in that heat, I would probably collapse. I get heatstroke very easily if I do not have enough water. Nya only gets a drink of water once she gets to the pond which is hours after she left and it is hot. And then she has to walk all the way back without drinking. Nya also doesn't get to learn anything but how to keep house. With all her walking, she doesn't have time to go to school. I love learning so if I couldn't go to school I would be really mad.

Sadie, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:21 UTC

The question I chose is, How did the tribes tell each other apart from other tribes? And how do I tell myself apart from other students? The different tribes tell each other apart by scars/markings on their forehead. They make the scars or markings when they turn into men/woman and choose to be in that tribe. at my school you can tell peoples cultures apart by how they dress, though most of us dress the same students don't look the same, skin color, hair, eyes, etc. , though not in a bad way, like the tribes and the markings on their heads.

Hannah, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:28 UTC

The different tribes can tell each-other apart because they have different markings on them. I can tell myself apart from other people from other cultures because they might wear different clothing or speak a different language from what I speak. I can also tell myself apart from other people because of their ethnicity too.

Alicia, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:38 UTC

Nya's journey for water every day day is dangerous but necessary for everyday life. She must travel many hours each day to get water for her family. The water she gets is not even safe to drink but nothing else is available. She has to get through thorns that pierce her feet, the heat of the dessert, and wild animals like lions, and the time it takes to walk to the water source and back to her house. If I had the job of getting water for my family, even though the water is not potable, I would get very annoyed because the water could make my family sick.

Jordan, New York

2017-10-02 12:57:59 UTC

The question I chose is Describe and explain Nya's journey everyday how would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility everyday? Nya walks on thorns for 3.5 hours in hot weather everyday. I would probably get very hot and tired.

Joey,New York

2017-10-02 12:58:01 UTC

If i was in Salva's place when he was in school and he heard the gunshots and left i would be like where am i going to go, am i going to make it, where is my family and friends

Gleb, New York

2017-10-02 12:58:13 UTC

Describe and explain Nya's journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

The journey that Nya has to do every day is hard.She has to walk 3 hours a day to get water. If I had such an essential responsibility like her I would feel that is very hard and plus the heat and thorns it would be more difficult to walk.

Sophie, New York

2017-10-02 13:00:43 UTC

Different tribes can tell each other apart by ritual scar markings. On page 15 Salva sees a women sitting in the sun and her Dinka scar confirmed that she was from the Dinka tribe. He was also relieved that she was not a member of Nuer. We can tell students from other cultures apart by their clothing or what they eat or don't eat.

Sarah, New York

2017-10-02 13:01:31 UTC

How do tribes tell themselves apart from each other? They can tell themselves apart from each tribe is that they have patterns on their forehead and scars. Also by their clothes.

Megan New York

2017-10-02 13:01:57 UTC

You can tell that certain people are from different cultures based on the way they look, act, etc. In the book it talks about how the Dinka and Nuer tribes have a certain pattern of ritual scars, marking their tribe. These two specific tribes aren't on peaceful terms, so when markings are seen from one tribe by the other, they know to stay away. I believe that everyone should be able to coexist peacefully no matter how "different" they are.

Alison, New York

2017-10-02 13:03:17 UTC

How do tribes tell themselves apart from each other, by ritual scars. For example when Salva was left in the barn he found a woman with a food, water, and shelter. Salva knew she was apart of his tribe (dinka) because of the scars on her face.

Paige, New York

2017-10-02 13:03:26 UTC

Nyas journey is a hard tough journey where she could easily get hurt or faint from heat and know one will know . She has to walk 8 miles a day just for a bucket of water. I would feel worried and scared is I had a job like nyas because i could be injured on the journey and i'll have to walk 8 miles a day for water and barely make it to school and waiting for people to help .

sean,massachusetts

2017-10-02 13:22:00 UTC

Describe and explain Nyas journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Nya has to walk with container on her head with no shoes on a hot day. She gets thorns stuck in her feet and she has to carry lots weight on her head. Also the walk usually takes 8 hours. I would feel very tired every day.

In the 1st chapter Salva's life and culture if different the our life. Salva only goes to school during the rainy season. I go year around except summer. Salva does not have a phone or electronics like most people in our school do. Salvas sisters go to get water during the day. Salva speaks Arabic and Dinka. I speak English. Salva takes care of cows after school. I play sports after school. When Salva gets home from school he drinks milk that his grandma

Jenna, New York

2017-10-02 15:13:21 UTC

The three questions that occupy Salva's thoughts are about his family. He wonders where everyone is going, where his family is and when he will see them again. These people are probably just trying to get away from the fighting, they aren't going in a specific direction. I think he is smart enough to find them in the end. If I were Salva I would be thinking the same. But I would also worry about surviving. Where would I get food and water? Where would I sleep? Would I get shot?

Rosalee, New York

2017-10-02 15:13:25 UTC

The question that I chose to answer was what three questions go through Salvas mind. The tree questions are where is his family, Where will he go and will he ever see his family again. Salva is worried what will happen to him and where he will end up when the war is over.If I were in salvas shoes I would be thinking what will happen to me, where is my family and where should I go to be safe from the war.

Elvedina,New York

2017-10-02 15:13:27 UTC

What I learned about Salva's life in the first chapter is that he goes to school like I do.But Salva only goes to school during the rainy season and I go to school almost year round. Next, Salva doesn't have a home like i do with a faucet I can just turn on and drink and other working water sources. Salva also doesn't have any technology like computers,phones,wifi,etc..but i do. Finally, Salva can speak Eribic and Dinka and i can only speak English.

Matthew, New York

2017-10-02 15:13:30 UTC

There is a boy in Sudan named Salvas and the question I picked was "what is his culture like and how does is it different from our life." Things I learned from his culture is that he needs to walk 30 minutes there and back from school. Also he has other family members ,father, mother, two brothers,and a sister. He lives on a cattle farm and after school he and his Friends go and make some clay cows and who ever has the most cows wins. And he is in the Dinka Tribe.

Shaniya, New York

2017-10-02 15:13:33 UTC

Different tribes tell themselves apart from each others by the scars on the top of their heads. One way people can tell themselves apart from each other by what they are wearing or maybe what they do, like if they are wearing a head scarf that covers all the hair might tell you that they are

Nick, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:04 UTC

The three thoughts that go through Salva's head are, Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again? I think they are going to a safe place , I think his family ran off to a different place and He will see them in a couple years. If I were going through through this

Jack, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:10 UTC

The question I chose is "Describe and explain Nya's journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?" Nya's journey consists of a walk of an 8 hour walk everyday to fetch dirty, unsanitary, and even contaminated water. Sometimes she has to walk for water twice a day and it is extremely tough carrying all this heavy water. If I had this responsibility I would be extremely exhausted from walking so far with heavy water and it would be very dangerous waking through such heat and thorns. It is hard to believe that some unfortunate kids have to walk so long and far for dirty water.

Angelina, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:15 UTC

I chose the question, "What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?" Salva has to walk half an hour to school, and I only have a 10-15 minute drive to school. Also, tribes, like the Dinka and Nuer, have scars to show what tribe they are, but I don't have any.

Chloe, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:21 UTC

In the first chapter we learn about Salva and his life and how he is part of the Dinka tribe . He attends school just like any other boy 10 years and up. Salva has a mom, dad, 3 brothers, and 2 sisters. Salva's father is the judge of the town and is a known family. As for usual all girls stay home and learn household stuff from there mothers. Salva and his little brother watch the cows but they don't need much watching so them and there friends make clay cows and see who's is the best. Salva's life is a little like mine. We both do chores sometimes and both attend school.

Nate, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:21 UTC

Salva's life is very different from mine and much more difficult. I chose the question "What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?" He has to take care of cattle, walk 30 minutes to get to school, and worry about a war happening between the Sudanese government and rebels who don't want to follow the Islamic religion and speak Arabic, when I don't have to worry about a war or any sort fighting. Salva speaks Dinka and has to learn Arabic because that is the official language of the Sudanese government but I can only speak English and a little bit of French. Salva is also part of the Dinka tribe, but I am not in a tribe.

Aubrey, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:26 UTC

I chose question 4. Different tribes tell themselves apart by the scars on there foreheads. In the book it states that when a boy turns a man the get a scar to show what tribe they are in. A way we tell people apart is the way the dress or the way they speak. for example if a girl is Muslim they would have to wear a head scarf.

Grace, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:27 UTC

The question I picked is, describe and explain Nya's journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? Nya's journey everyday must be hard and not very fun because she has to deal with the heat and thorns while walking a very long distance to get water for her and her family. I would feel very overwhelmed and very stressed if I had such a big and tiring responsibility like that because my body and mind don't do very good when it's super hot out so I would get tired very quickly.

Paige, New York

2017-10-02 15:14:37 UTC

In the first chapter we learn a little about Salva's life and culture. One thing that i learn about Salva's life is that he attends school only in the rainy seasons. I attend school almost year round. Salva's sisters do not attend school at all they stay home and get their families water. Salva speaks the language of his Dinka tribe at home, but in school he learns Arabic. I speak English and in school we have the choice to learn French, Spanish, or Mandarin. When Salva gets home he gets milk

Gabe, New York

2017-10-02 15:16:20 UTC

I chose question 1, I learned that Salva goes to school like all of the other boys above 10 years old, his father is a judge so he lives in more wealthy lifestyle then other people in his village. When he comes home from school he takes care of the cattle

Nena, New York

2017-10-02 15:16:22 UTC

I learned from Salvas life and culture that Salva has stuff to take care of like responsibility. He also has to attend school. When Salva goes to school he has to walk 30 minutes. Then when salva gets home then he has responsibility to take care of the cows. Salva loves his family and will probably help out with anything.

Izzy, New York

2017-10-02 15:16:32 UTC

Nya has a lot of responsibility for her age, and it must come with a toll, she has to walk everyday very far to water, if she gets tired, hurt, or thirst she can't stop or give up, her family depends on her getting that water, she doesn't get a day off or an excuse for not doing it, she has to no matter what. I can't imagine what I would do with a responsibility like that, although if I had to start doing it now I would probably fail, or do it poorly, if I had to do it since I was born it wouldn't be such a big deal, although it would still be very hard and dififcult, I don't belive it would be as diffucult as starting now. If I had been born having to do this, it would be diffucult and painful, but I would prevail. If I had to start now then I would try to think of ways to help it be eaisier but I would not be happy, the truth is that we really can't imagine anything like this because we don't do it, thinking about what would happen doesn't show you. I can think of the horrors but we can't just think of something like this.

Owen, NY

2017-10-02 15:16:53 UTC

Question 1: I learned a lot about Salva's life from the first chapter. What I learned was that he takes care of a lot of cows, he goes to school, he lives in Africa, he loves his family, and he is smart. I know this because he says in the text "Southern Sudan, 1985...Salva was a good student. He already knew the lesson...Salva...had helped look after the entire herd...[of] cows...'I need to go home! I need to go home!'

Ryan C., New York

2017-10-02 17:20:29 UTC

In the first chapter i learned that Salva fled from his home country because of a war that started. His life is not very modern and he has a responsibility in his family that responsibility is Watching the cows and making food/harvesting the food/getting the food from animals they kill for food. They then cook this food. Salva is also important in his family for knowledge because he goes to school to learn about languages and culture. His culture is different than us because the men in the familiy are higher up than the wonmen so the women don't go to school like the men/boys and then the girls/women stay at home and learn how to clean, cook, and knit clothing for the people in the family.

Hannah, New York

2017-10-02 17:20:35 UTC

Salva's life is very different from ours. His family earns money from raising cows that are healthy. We earn money by getting jobs.

Ella, New York

2017-10-02 17:20:42 UTC

Salva's life style is kind of fancy because he has cows and his dad gets alot of money because he is the judge also he has to deal with things like war so his life can be scary right now and he has 3 brothers and 2 sisters so that must be alot of work for his mother and dad, 7 kids wow that is alot,

Alex, NY

2017-10-02 17:20:49 UTC

Salva's life is hard sometimes. It can be scary also. Salva's life is definitely not like mine. Where I live, there are no wars about government or wars about anything else. I go to school every day. I don't have a herd of cows. There is also not as much violence in my neighborhood.

Sophia, NY

2017-10-02 17:21:12 UTC

I chose this question only because my class is doing this one. I've read this book before, and it is SO darn good, I promise you'll love it. Anyways, Salva lives in a very rough time in history, where the North and South of Sudan were fighting about religion.

Gianna, New York

2017-10-02 17:21:14 UTC

In the first chapter I learned that they are having a war while they are in school, they hear gun shots and get very nervous, they all duck for a minute and then hide in a bush to stay safe. Where Salva lives is very different to where we live. Where they live the girls don't go to school they stay home and the mom teaches them house chores, the boys go to school and learn.

Andy, new York

2017-10-02 17:21:21 UTC

Avery, New York

2017-10-02 17:21:28 UTC

In the first chapter I learned a lot. the author got straight to the point about the way Salva is thinking and surprised he's learned so much considering how late boys start school, so he claims he does not need to pay attention because he knows this but he should take and advantage and pay attention because not a lot of people in Sudan can go to school

In the first chapter we learn about Salva's life and culture.We learn that he is A Dinka (a tribe) and even though he is part of that tribe the government wants him to become Islam.This is nothing like my life.

Francesca, New York

2017-10-02 17:27:39 UTC

In chapter 1, Salva's life was difficult compared to mine because there was a lot of war and attacks going on, also there culture is very poor and not a lot of people take care of their crops. And where i live there's no war or attacks going on and people take care of our crops and help our town.

Everyday, Nya has to go out and walk for miles just to get one container of water and go all the way back home just to go back out again. She has to walk through heat, thorns and rough terrain just for a measly container of water. If I had to do that, the first three times I would be okay with it, then I'd hate it, then it would just blend in to my schedule. Like muscle memory. But it is also a very important job because water is an essential thing for everyone.

I picked question 3. Nya's journey is hard and she has to walk 6 hours just for a few gallons of water, all we have to do is walk down the hall for a sip. It would be a hard responsibility to do everyday, I would feel like my families life depended on me. It would be to much, I can barely even make my bed in the morning.

Different tribes tell themselves apart by making marks on there heads so when you see them you can tell what tribe they are. I can tell my self from other students because the way I dress, look, and talk.

Salva's life is different from mine because he got seperated from his family when he was 11. I am 11 right now and I can not imagine losing my family.
With Nya's life it is way harder than mine. Everyday she would have to go get water. With me life all I would have to do is just go to my sink and get water. It would really only take 1 min

Question #4 Julia

2017-10-02 18:58:41 UTC

They will put a scar on their forehead when they are young and each tribe has a different scare so they can tell each other apart.

Question #4 Shannon MB

2017-10-02 18:58:55 UTC

They have markings on there forehead. Markings are patterns. I tell my self apart from people from different skin colors or there accent.

Question # Haylie MB

2017-10-02 18:59:08 UTC

In the first chapter Salva explained his life style. Later on soldiers came to Salvas village. Salva ran off to safety but is unaware of his family and if they are okay or not.

Question #

2017-10-02 18:59:12 UTC

Question #1 Alan Manitoba

2017-10-02 18:59:18 UTC

Salva lives very sad life because of the war he doesn't know where his family is and he has to keep running from the war.

Question # william mb

2017-10-02 18:59:29 UTC

they have markings on there faces to determan what tribe they are in.

Question #4 Jake, MB

2017-10-02 18:59:48 UTC

The tribes know the tribes from there marks on their face. I'm guessing that they are real scars or just marks from mud or something like that. I would tell people who aren't from their looks. They might have a different skin color or speak in a accent. They might have different kinds of clothing.

Question #2 Brett MB

2017-10-02 19:00:11 UTC

The three questions are where are we going, where is my family, and when will I see them again. Because of a book we read about the lost boys of Sudan, I think they are going to Tanzania. I think his family is dead, because they went into the village and they would have been home, so he won't see them ever again. If I was in this situation, I would be thinking along the same lines as Salva.

Question #4 Tj MB

2017-10-02 19:00:47 UTC

The tribes tell each other apart by the markings on there forehead. I can tell other cultures from mine by the way they look and speck.

Question #4 Colton MB

2017-10-02 19:57:33 UTC

They can tell the tribes apart from the scars on their face when they are young and each tribe has a different scare so they can tell each other apart.

Question #4 Mackenzie MB

2017-10-02 19:58:24 UTC

They can tell the different tribes apart by their markings, facial features, languages and jewelry. They way I can tell people's culture apart is accents, facial features, skin color and the way they speak.

Question #3 Grace, MB

2017-10-02 19:59:01 UTC

I feel like Nya's journey to get water everyday would be very boring. It would be very boring because she wouldn't have anybody to talk to. If I had a responsibility like that everyday I would be very tired and lonely.

question #4 Matthew Manitoba

The tribes mark each other by scars. I tell people apart by there accent and where they came from as in the state or country.

they separate the tribes by the marks on them.

In chapter one, we learn that Salva goes to school and he has a busy life with an average-sized family. This is like my life, but Salva is living in fear of a war. His culture seems normal.

Brianna

2017-10-03 01:28:58 UTC

We learn that Salva is in a middle of a war.
The boys go to school and the girls stay home.
But he feels scared he cant find his family and is now alone by himself.

Alyssa Gish, Texas

2017-10-03 02:15:59 UTC

#1. We learn that salva is in war and that it is his first year going to school.His family works really hard to achieve things they want even if it takes a really hard effort, like most people now. But now I only have to walk 15 minutes to walk to school and in the book salva has to walk half an hour.

Alyssa Gish

2017-10-03 02:27:44 UTC

#2. Salva is going through a lot but the three things that are going through his mind are, where is my family, will I see them again, and where are we going. My prediction is that at some point he will see his family again and that his family is traveling but in a different direction, also he is most likely going to a safer place.I would most likely be thinking the same things like, is my family okay, will I ever see them again, and will I survive this.

martinezjo893 — 2017-10-03 03:19:51 UTC

Question No. 1

Salva’s life as a 10 year old is not easy. He attends school for a short time and has very difficult chores at home. His family owns cattle that he has to take care of and also hunts food for the family. His culture is different and difficult. Every dry season his family moves to a new place. Lives in a village where rebels who are against the government run through scaring the people who live there. They live in fear of rebels.

I can see that my life is very different than Salva’s. I go to school everyday all day. I don’t have to hunt for my food. I visit a store to buy it. Salva walks to school every day for 30 minutes. My mom brings me to school in our car. I dont have to leave my home when seasons change. I feel safe at school. Salva’s life is nothing like mine.

Izzy and Victoire

2017-10-03 13:16:06 UTC

Question 1
In Salva's life he has to go to school, and take care of his little brother. In his tribe there is war going on. Going to school is much like our lives but we are not in the middle of war.

2017-10-03 13:22:46 UTC

Question 2
Questions Salva might be asking himself are...
1) Where is my family?
2) When will get back to my family?
3) When will the fighting stop?
If we were in Salva's shoes we would be thinking if we were ever going to get back home with our families.

Lenore Kelly - NJ

2017-10-03 13:28:08 UTC

I was surprised at how quickly life changed for Salva. One moment he had a family, food, and even schooling. The next, he was running from a war that he had nothing to do with this. The couple of people he managed to find from his tribe left him all alone, and now he has to figure out life on his own. This must have been so scary, and I can not understand adults that would leave a child all alone in a war zone. I suppose I can never understand the motives of someone who is desperate.

I was surprised at that all of a sudden everything just changed. In what way did Salva's life change? His life changes drasticly beacause there is like a war going and he is scared that some he loves will get shot or even him.

Anthony

2017-10-03 14:13:18 UTC

Salva's life is diffcult because people in Sudan are in a war and Salva is in the middle of it. And he doesn't know where his family is so he has to go to his group.

The three questions that occupy Salva's thoughts are where his family is, am I safe, and will I ever see them again. I think his family is still in the village, he will be safe, and he will see his family again. The things that would be going through my head are the same questions Salva had.

I learned that Salva's life is really hard, he is going through war when he is 11, and cant go to his village when there is a shooter or right outside his school when the enemy is going to his village that he lives in, and has to go into a bush. He has a lot more responsibilities has a child then most of us do today, and even men! His live is definitely is more difficult and not like mine.

Henry,NM

2017-10-03 16:49:57 UTC

I think that Salva's village is very rural. I thought this because they have to hunt for there own food. When your young you have to take care of cattle. In chapter 1 there starting to have a cival war. That is how i know Salva's village is rural.

Many tribes tell each other apart by using symbols. In the book, people use a mark on their heads to say they are part of the Dinka Tribe. Another example is Hindu people put a red dot on their face for religious reasons. How I can tell people apart by religion is people were things on them. One of my friends wears a necklace of the cross. I am personally a christian.So different cultures have different symbols to represent them

Nya's journey everyday was hard and challenging. She had to walk a long distance everyday just to get water. The path she took wasn't very safe either. For example she injured her foot by stepping on a thorn while walking to get her water. If I had an essential responsability like that I would feel pressured to not mess up because my whole family would be relying on me.

Salva's life and culture in Sudan was very different to ours. He lived in a town were war was unleashed. For me, I live in a safe and peaceful area. Salva had to leave his town because of this. Sadly he has been betrayed and left alone to survive. That how Salva's life and culture is in Chapters 1-3.

Kirsten -Toronto, Canada

2017-10-03 17:22:48 UTC

Everyday, Nya's journey was very rough , exhausting and long to get water that wasn't even clean. It would be difficult and time-consuming for anyone. If I had a responsibility like Nya's, I would try to work hard because water is an essential, but it would be difficult for me because it's such a different life than my own. I get to go to school and get fresh, clean water that's only a few meters away while she has to strive to get dirty water.

My life is unlike Salva's life because I have not experienced war, or someone leaving me behind like what happened in the first few chapters ( when the women all left him behind in the barn). Salva has experienced something I would never feel like I could go through and he has proved to me that he is strong. Although my mom's family has experienced being in a war zone a very long time ago, every time I go to my grandparents apartment in Kuwait, I still see where the bullets once hit the elevator's surface long ago.

What we learn about Salva's life and culture in the first chapter is that he has to take care of his father's cows with his brothers, and that since the cows don't need much watching they get to play a lot. They make their own toys and have their own fun. Also, in his country there is a war going on, so he needs to be careful. He is more lucky than some others are because he gets to go to school, even if it is only for part of the year. It is not like my life because in Canada there is no wars going on, I don't have to care of cows and I do not drink milk every day after school. Also, I don't have many siblings like Salva does and I don't have to walk very far to get to school.

Nya's journey is very difficult and tedious; she has to walk for hours everyday just to fill a bucket of water to help her family survive. Her job is very challenging, and she has to undergo a long, hard path to find what she's looking for. As an example, Nya cut her foot badly by stepping on a thorn, which made her wince in pain. She also has to carry the heavy bucket on the top of her head, which can cause injuries or or/and headaches. I think I would feel A LOT of pressure, and be extremely exhausted afterwards. I would also feel very scared for the journey ahead, and sad that I couldn't experience what many other girls my age are. Nya does a lot more than a girl her age usually would, and I think she is much braver than I could ever be.

Nya's journey that she did everyday was a hard journey.She had to walk to a far source of water and then fill a big urn with water.Then she had to balance a heavy urn on her head and take it back home that could fall and break.Also it was dangerous because the path was filled with sharp thorns and there are wild animals in the bush.All Nya could hope for was that she would make it home for lunch.If I had to make her journey every day I would be very tired,and sad that I could not have fun or go to school.

Emily-Toronto, Canada

2017-10-03 17:27:10 UTC

Nya's life is weary and tiring. From day to day she goes to the pond and collects water that is dirty and carries it home on her head. Everyday Nya walks and gets a thorn stuck in her foot, but still she walks to collect water for her family.This is a very hard life for Nya and if I had an essential responsibility like Nya I would be very tired and scared. She works very hard and has to drink dirty water and experience pain and exhaustion.

Sharmeen-Toronto, Canada

2017-10-03 17:28:48 UTC

Nya's journey was very long and hard. She walked far to get water for her family. All she could hope for was that she made it home in time for lunch. If I was Nya I would get really tired and my head would hurt really badly once I got home. This must be hard for her because she has such a large responsibility. Even if she is sick for a day her family won't have water for a day and a half. We are really lucky to have clean water in our houses.

I think that my life is not the same as Salvas life because there was war when he was a kid and he got dragged away from his family because of the war. But I never got dragged away from my family or abandonedfrom a stranger.

Salva’s mind is thinking “Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again?”. If I were thinking that, I would be freaking out because I would have no idea what is going on. I would run back to my house, even though there is war there.

Adham - Toronto, Canada

2017-10-03 17:38:25 UTC

Salva’s life and culture, as showed in the book is hard because he has to take care of the whole herd of the cows and he has to take care of his little brother, and on top of all of that there are people rebelling against the government. So if I were in the same spot as him I would also be very sad especially when he gets separated from his family running away from the gunfire. My life is nothing like his because I have never thankfully experienced war or conflict and he is experiencing it now. Also if you compare my responsibilities to his responsibilities my biggest responsibility is taking care of my dog and Salva's responsibilities is taking care of MORE than one COW, and his little brother in a war so we have a big difference in our lives and responsibilities

Rushil - Toronto, Canada

Her life is very different from us, By that, I mean that she wakes up goes to school then she has to walk while holding water, Usually, we go back from home walking excited that our life is awesome when we go back home the food is ready to go! Her life is very hard I think if I was in her shoes I would have been so mad and wish that I had money to afford stuff that I need, also Nya is very brave and strong I don't know how she lives like this, If you compare your life with Nya's it would be hard and on top of that there was war.

Amir- Ontario, Canada

2017-10-03 17:48:03 UTC

Salva’s life is quite happy for where she lives. She has a dad that is very successful. But her life at home is strict, and she does have a lot of chores. She has a life completely different from any of our lives. However she would have her life completely changed even more as one day she hears some gunshots outside her school. She had to evacuate her school and ended up running and walking for hours to get away from the gunshots and the so called rebels that supposedly shot the gunshots. Her life is completely different from ours and she has many different experiences that some people would never experienced. And she much more brave than most people because she decided that she wanted to actually walk away from her home and not towards it when she evacuated. She is also currently surviving in the wild where some people would not even want to step foot in the wild.

The three questions that were running through Salva's head were 1. Where are we going? 2. Where is my family? 3.When can I see them again? My predictions to those questions are that he is going to a different village that is safe, that his family is being taken to the same village but was taken there a different way, and that he will see his family after a couple of days. Those questions are probably the same questions that I would be asking myself too because I would be really worried about them and myself and because that might have been the last time i ever see them.

Salva is a boy who lives in a small village. He has a 30 minute walk to school. Salva's dad has a successful job as a cow herder. I don't think my life is like his because one, I live in Canada and he lives in South Africa. Also, Salva lives in a village and has a 30 minute walk to school and I don't. The last thing is that our culture is different.

Ekaterina - Toronto, Canada

If i was Salva I would be worried about my family too. I have never been in a situation like that but i understand that it would be extremely hard to find the motivation every day to wake up and keep looking. I really hope that everything turns out okay and he can live a normal life.

from this chapter we learn that Salva's life is in Sudan and in his village how wealthy you are depends on how many cows you have. Also only boys can go to school. Salva has to work a lot at his house and do lots of jobs. We learn that in his culture you have a marking on your face that is shaped like a V. Salva's tribe is called Dinka. Salva's life is very different from mine because when I go to school I feel safe and I never hear gunshots. Also we don't have any cows. Here girls are aloud to go to school. Salva eats and shoots squirrel I have never done that, this is why Salva's life is much different from mine.

One connection I have is a friend of mine is muslim and doesn't celebrate Christmas but I am Cristian and do celebrate Christmas. Salva's culture is nothing like mine because I don't hear gun shoots outside ever and our country is more populated.

see the next step for me .he is still trying to look for his family .

He is saying Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again? I think that his family leaves his village. Then he has to travel a long way to another village to find them. It will take a couple years of hard work to find them.

we learned that salva was a boy that is 11 years old his dad is a judge and he is lucky to go to school because most kids in sudan do not go to school he started to go to school when he was 10 and they measure their wealth by how many cows there is a war in there country they have to walk 30 min in a war country to get to school and salvas family is wealthy so imagine what is it like for people who are not wealthy women do go to school they learn from there mothers they learn how to cook and how to clean clothes how to milk cows exedra .This is different to our lives because most kids in Canada or America go to there first day of school school when they are 3,4 or 5 we measure our wealth on how much money we have we do not have to walk 30 min just to get to school we do not live in a war country and finaly all genders go to school.

Zoya- Toronto, Canada 1. What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?Salva has a really difficult life because of the war. He does not have freedom. But he is lucky enough to go to school. Our lives are not similar. We have different beliefs he's going through war and isn't living in a safe country. He's also away from his parents. I can't possibly imagine what that pain feels like. He hears gun shots everyday and that's normal to him. Since they are separated because of the war everyday he has to worry if he is ever going to be with his family again.

But Salva goes to school just like me, even if only the boys go, I am a boy so I would go but the girls wouldn’t. We both have chores to take care of around the house even if we don’t want to so his life is life mine in a way.

Some people in salva’s culture do not go to school. Girls do not even get the choice to go to school. In Salvas culture having many cattle is shown as power and wealth.

In my culture we go to school like salva does. We have chore that we have to do like salva and his brothers watching over his father’s cattle. We might not have to watch over cattle but we have chores like washing the dishes and cooking.

Two things that Salva has to do is walk every day to school, he also has to walk to get water. I don't have to walk to school or walk to get and he doesn't have clean water and I do I fell bad for him. On thing We have have that is alike is we both go to school. His sisters don't get to go to school and we don't hear gun shoots and my sister gets to go to school . The girls there have to stay home and do stuff around the house. He is lucky to go to school because not people all people get to go to school there we is a good student which it good but he has to walk 30 mins to go to school.

As salva is running away from the village he wonders when he will see his family again, where his family is, and where he is going. If I was in a situation I would be confused and stressed. If I don’t know where I am I become anxious and I would be disoriented in the chaos.

Nya fetches water for her family everyday walking half the morning lugging the heavy container to her home. If I had a responsibility like hers I would be an important part of my family. In sudan you have to walk miles to get water. Water is important for survival and If I did not fetch water my family could not cook or drink for the day.

The tribes in Sudan are separated by their religions beliefs. The north wants to be a muslim country. The south does not want to follow those beliefs.

NO.1 Salva is a 11 year old living in Southern Sudan in 1985. He just started attending school like every other boy at 10 years old. His father is one of the more wealthier men in Southern Sudan because he owns a lot of cattle and worked as the village judge. He has two older brothers Ariik and Ring he also has two younger sisters Akit and Agnath. Salva is lucky to be at school must boys don’t go and help with their dds cattle. The girls in Salva’s culture can’t go to school they stay with their moms to do housework. I am much different then Salva i’m 12years old and living in Virginia. I live in a pretty big home and have running water I have fresh food and my parents have good jobs. I live on the eastern shore of VA so there is a lot of hunting and fishing here so we have fresh steamed clams my favorite or soft crab sandwich. I’m very lucky to have all of this.

Where are we going? Where is my family? When will i see them again? I think Salva will eventually find his parents, but it will take him a while, and he will search and search and not stop until he finds them. I think that he is going to a safe place in the opposite direction as where the war is traveling. His family is probably hiding in their home, taking cover until everything passes by. I would be franticly wondering if my family is hurt, and why did our village of all villages get attacked? Why today of all days did we get attacked? Where are all of these people going to go? Are we ever coming back?

What I learned about Salva's life and culture from chapter 1 is, Salva goes to school and learns 1 language (Arabic) ,but speaks the language of his Dinka tribe at home. Salva is very lucky to go to school because not many kids get to go to school, her school is a half an hour away. The culture where Silva lives is much different than mine, he is lucky to go to school because not many people their get maybe because it takes them a whole day to get some water and maybe even because their family can't afford it. Another culture is girls cant go to school because they stay home with their mom and learn something their moms do at home. It's not really like my culture or life.

#4 In Salva's tribe the people have a certain scars or marks to distinguish what tribe they are from. In my culture you can tell by the way I took what culture im from and because of my name and what it means and where it comes from. In chapter 2 Salva could tell the woman sitting on her porch was from his tribe because when he looked at her he saw her marks or scars on her face and knew she was from his tribe. Also when the group of people were walking up to the house he knew they were from where he is

Thought #1 Chapter 1
Salva swolled and turned his eyes back toward the teacher.He wished he hadn't recalled those times,because the memories made him hungry....Milk.
Thought #2 Chapter 2 Salva lowered his head and ran.
Thought #3 Chapter 3
Salva thought/hoped that the woman will have some answers.

3. Nya's journey is very hard and tiring. She also gets hurt on the journey, This is true because in the text it says,"She pressed her lips together against the pain." (Park-8) It also says, "With the water balanced on her head, and her foot still sore from the thorn, Nya knew that going home would take longer than coming had." (Park-14,15) This proves that Nya's journey is long and tiring. If I was in Nya's situation I would have asked my mom to come with me to help when I got hurt.

They way the tribes tell themselves apart by there spots on there forehead because in the text it states "The ritual scar patterns which meant she was from the same tribe as salva" this evidence proves that this is how they tell there tribes apart. They way i can tell myself apart from my classmates is how are hair is and how we talk.

3.Nya has to walk every day too get water for her family and most likely her village because there could not be much water near the village she lives in. If I had such a responsibility then I would try my hardest to get as ,much water has possible because depending on how much water I get my family could be limited on how many resources they have and also depending on how much water the village has many people would not make through the dry season.

Then she tied the gourd back in place and took the padded cloth doughnut from her pocket

Tribes tell themselves differently by : Music, Food, Clothing , and etc... In this case , they show their culture by telling us that Girls aren't allowed to go to school because they have to stay home and learn how to keep the house or village clean. In the text it states , " His two sisters, did not go to school. Like the other girls in the village, they stayed home and learned from their mother how to keep house ." These quotes are saying their culture is different from mines because they don't go to school and in the US we do.

Nya's journey every day is to get water at least 2 kilometers away and suffer through all the thorns the bushes just to get dirty water it's not even clean water!!! Then she has to carry the water(around a litre) all the way back and sometimes she might not make it without spilling the water. I know I'm not a girl but in a girls perspective I would feel like I am not worthy as much as a boy because boys would have to study and I would have to get water that is at least 2 kilometers away that is at least an 2 hours back and forth. My legs and feet would get bruises from the thorns. I might even get diarrhea!!! I don't want that but since we need water I would have a huge responsibility on my shoulders my family would depend on me to get water. I guess now my opinion has changed that girls have a bigger responsibility than boys because if girls didn't get the water then the boys or men would have to do it. Then they would miss study and work and everything will fall apart!!

we have learned that salva was a boy that is 11 years old his dad is a judge and he very lucky to go to school because most kids where he lives aren't allowed to go to school or they don't go to school. In his country, Sudan they mesuareg wealth by cows and his dad had some cows. My life and salva's life aren't close to each other because Canada is not a war zone but Sudan is, I also didn't get separated from my family, I also don't have to walk miles to get clean water, walking long walks to get water is hard but sadly some people like salva have to do it

Every day, Nya makes several trips to the pond and back. But, they are not just ten minute walks, they take her about half the day. It's not just time either, she walks without shoes, under the burning hot sun. If I had such an important responsibility that was the difference between my family living or not, I would worry everyday that I wouldn't make it back on time. Even though walking so far would be so time-consuming, I would feel that I did not have a choice. It would also be hard for myself because I wouldn't have time to do anything that I enjoy.

From the first chapter I think his life is just like mine except for the bombing. I think this because he goes to school , has a good privileged life, and sometimes his brain wanders off into space just like mine.
The three questions that occupy Salvas mind are were is my family, when will i see them again, and whats going to happen to me.

question no.1
salva's life and culture are nothing like mine a war broke out in is village were he had school and what i learned about his culture is that his dad is a very important member of the village and the village was named after his great grandfather
no.2
i think the three questions on salvas mind are "what happened to my family" the second one is " what am i gonna do" and the last one is "whats gonna happen to me"
no.3
i would feel overwhelmed and guilty overwhelmed because because i have to go fetch water for my whole family guilty because im feeding my family dirty water that you can catch diseases and can get sick from
no.4
you could recognize tribes from there face patterns or patterns in general and the clothing or accesories

What we learn about Salva's life and culture is very important to think about. His country is having to be forced to follow the Islam heritage, which isn't fair. People should be allowed to follow their own heritage, and they should be able to like what they like. This isn't a single thing like America. In America, you are free to do whatever you want.

Salvas life id very different from mine. In the first chapter, people were shooting guns outside of Salva's school and it was very dangerous. Because the North government wants everyone to become Muslum but no one in the south wants to become Muslim. So the North is mad at the people of the south to the north are sending people over to kill the people of the south so they become Muslim. And I could never imagine that happining outside of my school.

The different tribes tell each other apart by the scars on their faces. People can be identified by these scars from certain tribe rituals. Salva can identify the old woman in the story as a member of the Dinka tribe because of this. I identify students of other cultures by their clothes, the practices they follow, the food they eat, the holidays they celebrate, the groups/clubs they are involved in and possibly the religion they identify as.

stu42008493 — 2017-10-05 18:53:15 UTC

I think Salva's thoughts during this war he is experiencing in South Sudan, is been mostly about his family and wondering where they are. On the last paragraph of Chapter 3, a small group of Dinkas finds Salva. I predict Salva will have thoughts about these Dinka people, whom are from his village. It is worth to wonder about these people, in my opinion. Also, the core part to keep in mind during a war, is to think about your survival.

Karen Nguyen, CA

stu42007616 — 2017-10-05 18:53:25 UTC

I think Salva's thoughts are about his family and friends because he has been worried about them as he survives on his own.

Salva was running as fast as he could and then a soilder got him and they were splitting them up by villages and they named out his village he was thinking that there could be one of his family members.

Nya's journey is so horrible because every day she has to go on such a long journey just to get water and the water isn't even clean. Plus she has to walk there in the blistering heat and walk on thorns that must hurt a ton. If I had that huge responsibility I would feel so horrible because I would be having to spend my whole day walking a massive distance so my family can have water for the day.

Salva's life and culture is a lot different than mine. He has to live in a place where he's surrounded by war. When young boys become of age they get a V shaped scar on their forehead indicating thier turning into a man. I would never want that scar becuase it sounds so painful.

If I were Nya, I'd probably be used to it, but even though, it would be terrible. We spend less than 8 hours at school while she has to walk all the way to the water. She has to walk barefoot to the water. Not only does that mean thorns on her foot, but also 8 hours of non-stop heat. On her way there, she can't drink anything. Then, when she is coming back, she can't bring the water she collected because that is for her family and community.

How different tribes tell each other apart is that they each have different scares on their foreheads.

Nya's journey to a water spot everyday is tiring because she has to walk miles to get their, and she has to carry a bucket of water back.

In the first chapter, one thing about Salva's story that is way different than our lives, is that at his home, only one child went to school at a time. Here in the U.S.A., It doesn't matter how old you are, all kids in the house can go to school. And, babies that are not old enough for school, can go to things like daycare.

Everyday, Nya had to walk a long distance just to receive water and carry the hevy jug on the long journey back. In Sudan, water was hard to find so this had to be done everyday for her family. If I had such as essential responsibility liker her, I would feel pressured because the lives of my family are on my back.

Nya is a women in Sudan, who has to walk for the whole day, just to get water, for herself, and her family. This causes her to not be able to take care of her house, and this long journey doesn't allow her to be able to relax. Although she walks for so long, she still ends up with contaminated water. If I had a responsibility like her's, then I would be so stressed out, since my family would be relying on me to get them water.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?
Salva's life is different from mine because he doesn't have much family and he lost his family. Also, his life is more hard and way more difficult than mine.

Srinitya Koduri NJ, USA

2017-10-06 13:36:14 UTC

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?
Nya lived in Sudan and she spent like the whole day to get water, and water which was unsafe. Nya wouldn't be able to consider other problems in her life because most of time goes away by walking hours to get water in a heavy jeg. The water she brings with hard work is filled with chemicals and unhealthy stuff which makes everybody sick. If I was Nya, then I would feel pressure and tired because everyday I would have to walk for hours to get water.

What do we learn about Salva's life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your?
Some things that we learned about Salva's life and culture are that, the place that Slava was living, South Sudan was very dangerous. This was because during the time that Salva went to school in 1885, there was a war going on in South Sudan and Sudan. Moving on, Salva would have to work all day for his family to keep track and protect his cows. In conclusion, Salva's life and culture are nothing like mine.

Nya had a very hard journey, where she had to walk miles everyday just to get water. She carried large Jerry cans on her head filled with water for miles to a water source and back home. Personally, I think that if I had such an essential responsibility like her, I would be stressed out. This is because, if I lived in South Sudan, I wouldn't be able to focus on my studies, but instead, I would be focused on trying to collect water for my family.

Nya's journey is a tough one. She must get up and go get water for her family, which is a very long journey. If I had such a responsibility, then I would be worn out by the time I got home. Also, the book explains how "going was easy" This states how carrying the jug was easier than carrying it back, full of water. I would pass out doing this feat every day!

What do we learn about Salva's life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?
Salva is part of the Dinka Tribe with his family in Sudan. His family and all of Sudan is very poor so he has to go through tough times. For example, his family can barely afford the money for school and they don't have a source for fresh water in their area. His life is way different from mine because I have all the access to the water and have more than enough money to afford school.

Salva's life is very different mine. While he lives in a small village and goes to school he went through a gun shooting. But, where I go to school in Edison, NJ that is very unlikely to happen. When he goes home, he would drink a bowl of milk which would keep him full until supper. But, for me that would be something which I won't chose to follow everyday.

Salva's life and my life are similar, as we both have siblings and play with them often. However, our lives are different, as boys and girls can go to school now, we don't learn a government language in school, and we arent in the midst of a war.

1. Salva has a good life in South Sudan, as it consists of going to school and coming home and doing homework and chores. It is slightly similar to mine, but I have more playing options.
2. The three questions that occupy Salva's thoughts are, "How do I survive? Where is my family? What will I do?" I would ask similar questions because in that situation, I would only care about my family, and _what I would do.
3. I don't believe I would be capable for surviving over a month if I had to live up to the responsibilities of Nya.

My response: I don’t think I don't think Salva's life is much like my life because now-a-days I can just get walk to my kitchen, turn the faucet on the sink, and then BOOM, cold clean water from the luxury of my air conditioned house. Then, if you want even better water, pop open the freezer and grab a couple of ice cubes. In California, we have it so easy.

What I believe is they have face markings or certain clothes to tell them apart.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

If I had to walk for miles all the way to a pond and back I’m not sure I could handle it because what if I got hurt and wouldn’t be able to go back until tomorrow. Also it is probably really hot out there which makes it even harder.

salva is a regular boy just like everyone else. But one day there was a shooting. His class had to leave and had to find there tribes. How they knew who was in there tribe was different patterns or scars on there foreheads. my personal thought is i think it is really cool how they live compared to us.

Nya has to travel she has to walk to get water 8 hours a day. Nya has to carry buckets of water. If i has to do this i would be sore . I would not want to do this because i would be missing the school day and my family would not be happy.

Salva"s life culture is that only the boys get to go to school and in are cultuer grils and boys get to go to school. then the boys and grils do work in the house instead of just the grils doing all the work inside.In my cultuer the grils and the boys do work instead of just the grils working all the time and the man don"t just sit around.

Ariana,Wisconsin

If I had a responsibility like Nya, I think i would be overwhelmed. I think this because my whole family would be depending on me. I would probably pass out halfway there. I cannot walk 8 hours in a row.

Thaison, Wisconsin

2017-10-06 17:14:36 UTC

Nya Travels a far distance from her home just to get water for her family, but then she realizes that there is water underneath her from where her house is, If I had a responsibility like her everyday I wouldn't like to walk, I would make a motorized little scooter or something that moves at a constant speed, if they een have the stuff to make it.

Morgan Wausau WI

23motorrens — 2017-10-06 17:14:43 UTC

You can tell different tribes apart by seeing what kind of clothes they wear, or the scars they have on there foreheads. I can also see the differences we have in this world. I celebrate all of the regular holidays for the USA. Other people might have darker or lighter skin, and speak differently. The more i grow up, the more i learn about other people's cultures. to me, other peoples cultures are really cool.

When our class read a long walk to water we learned that Salva's life and culture are very different than ours. One of the things we learned when we read the first chapter was that Salva has to deal with this country at war and her we don't have to deal with that. Anther thing we learned is that in there culture they identify there selves with scares over here we just put on different close . Those are to things I learned is A Long Walk to Water

In Salva's story it sayed he was sacred and i had the relation to his story when my mom when to work me and my siblien were sacred we heard walking and noise that we never heard of and so as the day went on it got scarier and so we try to go to bed it wasn't help at all so try to watch movies PS it kind of work but we were still scared from all the noise from outside and form the inside to and then we turn up the volume on the PS and then is come us down and then we heard an other noise again an they we all just group up together and sit next to each other scared like what would we all do so we all garbed food and water from the our fridge and grabbed a whole lots of and then we kept watching our PS and then we all were just chilling and then we all fell a sleep and then our mom came home for work.

In the first chapter you learn that where Salva lives there is an war and the shooting happened while Sava was at school and they all had to run away and make groups depending on what tribe they are in. Salva's group left now he is alone. None of the events that are happening to Salva is in my life.

Cassie Wausau, Wisco

Nya's has to walk eight hours each day. If she stops it will take her longer to get to the watering hole. If she doesn't stop it will take her eight hours. When she walks she has to carry two jugs. She carries one jug on her head so that she won't get sunburned. When she gets to the watering hole there are lots of people. If I had a responsibility like Nya I would not like it. I do not like walking that far because it hurts my feet.

Arlin Wausau Wis.

2017-10-06 17:22:42 UTC

I would not like it and would be very mad to have to walk that far everyday in the hot sun, I don´t think that i could live there doing something like that. But i would feel A little happy that people trust me so much that they let me go that far to get water for my family.

Nya's journeys are very far and hard work because she has to walk 8 HOURS A DAY to get water for her family. If I had to do that I don´t know what I would do that is a lot of hard work. But I think that after awhile you would get used to it but its still a lot of work. And I think that it would be a huge responsibility because if she didn't get water then her family wouldn't have water and then they would thirst to death.

Savannah Wisconsin

Evan Wisconsin

ETHAN PUNTNEY Wisconsin

If i were Salva my first thought would be where is my Family. I am going to assume that they have been taken with all of the other people and that i was not going to find them again. My next thought would be where is water. i would then look for water and try to find food as well. My final question would be where is the closet shelter. I would go to a tree and start a shelter from there.

I'd say that Salvas life is nothing like mine because their is the fact that he would have to go miles from his home to get water that isnt even clean while i could just go to my kitchen sink whenever i want to and i can eat freely with a very large amount of different things while he doesnt eat very much and the food isnt even very good depending on his tastes.
I can play video games, use the internet, whatch tv, buy toys and other useless things with my money also i can enjoy the fesh air and the beutiful scenery while he just has a desert

1. Where is my family? Will I ever see them again? Where are we going?
2. Nya walks 8 hours every day to get water going back and forth 7 days a week every month of every single year. A t first I would give up and rest every two hours or so but after I think I would get used to it even though it might get boring having to do that everyday.
3. Different tribes tell each other apart by the scars and patterns on their faces. Some ways me and other students can tell each other apart is by the way we talk if we talk a different language.

If I had a responsibility like Nya I would handle it pretty well but not as well as Nya has because she is very used to waling without shoes so she is very good at handling thorns going into her foot and stuff.

I am really looking forward to reading a long walk to water. It sounds like an interesting book about a man's journey and his contributions to the people of Sudan. I wonder what Sylva felt when he got seperated from his family because of the war. I hope that more people will act and help improve the people of the country of Sudan's lives. I think that it sounds like a touching book from the way it is portrayed in the videos and I hope to see other people's comments. I also am excited to communicate with people around the world and show our different opinions and thoughts on the book through our comments. I really hope we get to read it soon :). I think that many continents including the U.S. have been taking advantage of water and food while the people in Sudan have barely any to use. I hope that we can solve this problem and help the starving children and adults and give medical treatment to many people in need of it and help people all over the world, not just Sudan, that way, we can take one step forward in making Earth a better planet. Nya and Sylva both have very different lives than us, if I had such a responsibility, I would feel stressed and I would probably fail. They both have huge responsibilities. I can go and get food from my mom and dad´s cooking, whereas Salva barely gets any food and water

He has to live through a war and when he was at school and then he heard gunshots and his teacher told everyone to run into the bush. But on the other side, a girl named Nya has to walk very far to get water and back.

Salva has to live threw the war when he was small and he tried to go to his village but he couldn't because

One day when salva was at school there was gun shots and the teacher said to get out and everyone got splitted up but then he finally found his tribe.

The different tribes tell them selves apart from each other because in tribes there is a ritual that the tribes do, where they get scarred on their forehead in a certain pattern that is specific to the tribe, so that they are a part of the tribe and then other tribes can see that they are from this specific tribe.The text states,"The ritual scar pattern on her forehead were familiar"(Linda Sue Park, A Long Walk to Water, 15). Salva was able to recognize that the old woman was from his tribe by her scar on her forehead.

I think that it would be really hard for me if I had the same type of responsibility that Nya had, especially because I think i wouldn't have enough strength or stamina to walk half the morning to get to a water area and then to carry the water back while walking for another 3 hours or so. Also I think I would get irritated and annoyed after like one day and I don't think I could've fulfilled my responsibilities.

I’m answering question number 4, and I think that You can tell the difference between the tribes by probably studying marks on their faces, and maybe religion practices, and culture. Also maybe how they look.

Navid, Toronto Canada

2017-10-07 13:16:26 UTC

I will be answering question #3. if I was Nya I would not like this kind of job because I am going back and fourth one day which not to say she takes half a day back and fourth just to get water and also this water could kill them because the number 1 reason kids dye in Africa is because of nasty water which causes direeah. so she has to go back and fourth and also dodge thorns in her foot. this is one of the hardest job any on could have in their lives also she is a kid so she also dose not have to go to school.

Ottawa, Canada

Question #4: Salva could tell the differences of the tribe members by the marks on their faces. In our country we can identify different cultures by choices of jewlery and clothing, for example people of a Christian background will sometimes where a cross or someone who is from a Sikh background will wear a turban. Celtic cultures sometimes wear rings with hearts and crowns.

Salva's life is nothing like mine. His life is so much harder than mine, he has to walk an hour and a half(?) to get to school, mine is just in the neighborhood. He has a war going on in his country and now, village. My place is as peaceful as can be. i can't imagine having a life as hard as Salva's. I think we're all pretty lucky.

I wouln’ t say that Salva’s story is similar to me in any way. Three things I found out in the book about Salva. His life is way too dangerous especially scince the war started. He lost everything like his parents and his home. He is a brave young man. Usually a child would be scared to run and would just stay in one spot, but he ran and didn’t look back.

Nya's journey is very treacherous journey. It takes a very long time to get to the destination, and she has to deal with heat, and she has to deal with the weight of the bucket coming back. If I had to do such long distances every day, I would most likely become dehydrated, because I might not even be able to walk that long. And I would not have any personality.

The three questions that occupy Salva's thoughts are where are we going, where is my family, when will I see them again? I think the answer to the first question is (Where are we going? ) he is going to another part of africa like a place that the war hasn't been and where there is water. An answer to the second and third question (where is his family?When will I see them again?) I think that he won't see them until the end of the book because I think that they are stuck in the war. What would be going through my mind if I was in the same circumstances would be who is that? Am I going to see the people that I know? Should I try to escape.

Zander Cincinnati Ohio

zanderwinslow — 2017-10-09 14:55:54 UTC

Nya goes to get water every day as she is barefoot with thorns in her feet.Once she is there she has to use her doughnut to put the pale on her head. And then she has to walk back with the pale on her head. I would feel determined to get my job done because that job is very important for you and your tribe. It is also a challenging job which would make me want to do it even more.

JD Cincinnati Ohio

johnmcmanus — 2017-10-09 14:56:02 UTC

Nya's journey is she has to spend all morning getting water by walking all to the spot where it is to get the water, and then walking all the way back to where she lives. If I had a such an important responsibility like that I would be very worried all the time that I would fail to get the water and then my family might die of thirst because if I like fainted from the heat then my family would worry about me, and possibly think that I died as well.

I believe that the first question Salva has in his thought is, Where is my family? The answer to this question is either with another tribe or at there home. They also might be captured,t the main thing is that Salva is alone. Another question is what is going to happen to me? He will eventually find a way to go home to see his family somehow and will face many dangers along the way. The last question that would be on his mind is will i survive? He will survive and find a way

Thats why I would be worried.

If I was to put myself into Salva's shoes ( If he even has shoes ) I would wonder if I would make it alive. And if I even would want to live at that point. If it would be worth it to persevere through the troublesome times. If My tribe ment to be so evil to betray me and leave me to die.

In order to see them again I would have to remind myself to be calm and collected. I would also have to prioritise; get food, get water, stay safe. After the woman left me I think I would try to go around the battle and get back to my village. Easier said than done; even if I wanted to I don't know if I could get the gut to do that, however if I didn't I probably would see them until wet season.

If I had a responsibility like Nya's, I think I might literally freak out. From the minute she wakes up till noon, she's collecting water.That just sounds crazy to me. Plus, with no shoes? I can't even walk down the street with no shoes, let alone far enough to keep me walking for HOURS. I'd also be really stressed because water is so important and if anything went wrong and I didn't collect water for that day, there might be a chance that my family could get dehydrated and possibly DIE. I don't think I would be able to handle a responsibility like that. All that work, and she doesn't even get to go to school? Come on! Equality, people!

Nya has to make a journey to a pond everyday. She doesn't have shoes and steps on thorns. She collects water, then puts a padded ring on her head, then puts a jug made of a gourd on that. The jug is filled with brown muddy water that she carries back home for her family. Nya has to do this every Nya and it takes up her whole morning. If I had a responsibility like that I think I would be very stressed to get enough water for everyone in my family, and I also think that I would get a lot of headaches.

I think that the three questions that Salva ponders about are: "Where is my family?" and " When will I see them again?" and maybe: "Where am I?". If I were to put myself in Salva's shoes ( If he even has shoes ) I would be thinking: Will I live? Do I even WANT to live? Is my family alive? Will it be worth it to persevere through the troublesome times? Would my own tribe be so evil to abandon and betray me and leave me to literally die? Should I run? Should I hide? Should I even bother to try and live in this horrible, Backstabbing upside down world?

Nya's job is to get water for her family. It takes her the whole morning to do so. If I had a job like Nya's I would feel stressed.

The the three questions are: where am I, where is my family, and when will I see them again. 1)I think he will end up in another country. 2) I think his family moved in a different direction. 3) I think he will see them at the end of the book.

Salva's life is nothing like mine. I have clean water drinking water that I can get within a few seconds. Where as Salva and his family it takes them half of the day to get water and it isn't even clean it is really dirty. Also, I when I turn 14 I don't get scar patterns on my forehead like the dinka tribe does. I also don't have to walk to school 30 minutes like they do I ride the bus.

Libby- Cincinnati, Ohio

meghanconnelly — 2017-10-09 19:28:58 UTC

different tribes tell each other apart by burning scars in a certain pattern, to represent their tribes. In the US people tell each other apart by specific clothing or skin colors/tones. However it is harder to tell peoples culture by skin tone.

Salvas life is VERY different then mine. He has to walk 30 min to school where we can just ride the bus. They have to PER MENTALLY put the symbol of their tribe on their forehead when they are 14. And they have to drink muddy water and they could die when drinking that but its either drinking the water or dyeing. Since its almost dry season I think Salvas family already moved.

Lily R.,Cin. Ohio

lilyroberts1 — 2017-10-10 00:32:37 UTC

Different tribes tell each other apart by other tribes by the scars on their body.For example the Dinca tribe,the tribe that Salva is apart of has layers of v shaped scars on their foreheads.I'm glad that we don't have to do that for our culture because that would hurt.

Olyvia.B, Ohio

2017-10-10 02:08:48 UTC

Nya and Salvas life's are both very different then mine because Salva has to walk 30 mins to get to school and I within a 5 minute drive can be at mercer super quick and I'm very different from Nya because Nya can't go to school because African girls aren't allowed to go to school they have to stay ho e and learn how to girl things but here in America girls can go to school Andy they do not have to go home and do what are considered girl things.

Salva's culture is nothing like mine because in Salva's culture girls usually stay at home, help with house work and be taught by there mothers. While the boys go to school and learn with there teachers. In my culture girls get to go to school with boys and they get to learn in classrooms with teachers. Nya's journey is walking through a thorny desert and muddy water which takes her all morning and sometimes part of the afternoon. If I had to take on a responsibility like that I would of course do it because water is an essential need and this is the only way I could get it. I would feel pressurized and tiered because it's a very log journey that can cause injuries and can put my life and others life in danger. Tribes can tell them selves apart because they create/make marks on there face depending on what tribe they are in. You can usually tell people apart from the languages they speak, the way they look as in there skin colour and other features. Three question that might be on Salva's mind are 1)Where did everyone go? 2) How long will it take for me to find my family? 3) I wonder if my family and friends are safe?

Angela-Ontario

2017-10-10 14:34:31 UTC

Salva's culture is nothing like mine because I do not live in tribes or small villages, and the boys/men who live here do not receive any markings on their foreheads. And instead of staying at home, we girls still go to school. The three questions that keep on occupying Salva's mind are "where am I going? where is my family? when am I going to see them again?" In the same circumstances, the three questions that would be going through my mind would be" Am I going to live? Am I going to see my family again? where am I ?" If I had Nya's responsibility, I would feel important, however, because of the tiring journey everyday, I would ask my siblings to go fetch water themselves every once in a while because as much as I would like to have more water, I would not like to bleed from all of the thorns. Some of the ways that different tribes tell each other apart are by the language they speak, the clothes they wear, and the markings they have on their foreheads. some of the ways that we can tell each other apart is from our religion, the language they speak, the different clothes we wear, and the different skin colors that we have.

Salva's culture is very different than mine. The three questions that are always on Salva's mind are, Where am I? Where is my Family? When will I see my family? Everyday Nya walks for 8 hours just to get water for her family and she has to step on thorns to get trough to water. If I had to walk * hours everydayI imagine it would be very sore

Those things are that we both are lucky enough to be able to go to school. A couple things I learned about his life and culture were that he is the son of a very important man in his village and that he has to walk a very far way to be able to go to school.

In the first chapter, we learn that Salva is apart of the Dinca tribe and that he is from Sudan. We also learn that Salva goes to school everyday, but does not go in the rain season. Salva's life is not like mine at all. Even though Salva may go to school, the life around him and his environment is very different. For example we live in Canada where there is winter, fall, summer and spring but they only have rainy season and dry season. Salva's everyday life may be different from mine but his culture is very similar to mine. His culture relates to mine because where i'm form you do have to get tribe scars or marks to represent what tribe you are from.

Question 1: I learned that Salva's life in Sudan is much different from ours because in Sudan, in the era of the civil war, it was probably scary and people had to live under constant fear of being attacked or ambushed. There are some similarities for our life in Canada. For example, housing, food, water. But I am grateful to live in Canada because we have safe drinking water and safe food to eat. We also have the opportunity to be educated at school, and that Canada is a peaceful nation to live in.

Question 2: I think three questions that occupy Salva's thoughts is probably, #1: Where is my family? #2: Is my family still alive? #3: What's going to happen to my country? I predict that Salva will reunite with some of his family members because maybe some family members will be killed during the war. I also predict that his country could spit into two because there is a possible chance that the two groups will spit the country so they will form separate governments like what happened in the American civil war. If I were under any of Salva's circumstances, I would be very scared and sad because many people will die and infrastructure could be destroyed.

I can make a connection to when salva calls the lady at the barn ' aunty ' because in my culture we also call the elderly people aunty and uncle to show respect and that we are mature. Salva 's life is also very different from ours because here in Canada thankfully we are very safe and there are no wars and destruction causing us to separate from our families . Tking of might be he question

1) What we learnt about Salva's life is that he has to walk half an hour to go to school and he lives in camps which isn't the same thing as my life
2) The three questions that occupy Salva's thoughts are :
where is my family? Where am I going? Will I ever see my family again? The questions that go through my mind are :
What will I work as when I grow up? Will I die young or old? Will I visit every country in the wold?
3) Nya's journey everyday is hard because it takes her 8 hours just to get water for her family and she has to carry a heavy gourd full of water on her head. If I had that responsibility I would try my best to get the water on time so they don't worry about me.
4) Different tribes tell themselves apart from each others from their markings on their face or their clothes that they wear or even their accent. I tell myself apart from other students by asking them from where they are and what other languages do they speak or from their acc.

In the first chapter I learned that Salva's life is very different to mine because they had tribes there and in Canada we don't have those also in school in Ontario we allow both girls and boys for education . The three question that are going throgh Salva's mind are "Where am I going", "where is my family", and "Will I ever see my family again". If I was in Salva's situation I would be asking the same questions

Every day Naya will have to go for an 8 hour walk to get water for her family, during this walk she will have to watch for thorns so she does not step on them, her walk to the water is way easier than her walk back because she has lots of water when she comes back and when she goes the the place where she gets water she does not have water and the gourds are a lot lighter. If i had Naya's responsibilities I would be really tiered and my legs would be very sore and tired.

1. Salvas lifestyle was nothing close to mine because he lived on a camp and had to walk for water but i just turn on the tap and when i go somewhere i ether take my bike or scooter in the winter.

Salva's life is completely different than mine. I've never really had to worry about about war because here in Canada, there is no war at the moment. The only thing common with Salva and I is that we both go to school.

#2 Three questions that would probably occupy Salva's mind are: When will I be able to see my family again, Where is my family and finally what will happen if I never see my family again. I predict that he will meet his parents and family again, that his family is safe somewhere out of harm, and that if he never sees his family again he will find people who can take care of him and who can help him.

I think that the questions he is thinking about is that why he had to fight in the war. 2 is when will the war end and 3 is how is his family feeling and are they ok.

They tell themselves apart from each other with markings they get from rituals that are different for each tribe, I can tell myself apart from other students of different cultures by the food I eat, the holidays I celebrate and the beliefs I have.

#3: I think that Nya's journey everyday would be exhausting because if you have to walk eight hours everyday just to get water you would be so tired. I also think that I would feel proud for getting such a responsibility but also sometimes grumpy because if you had to walk for what feels like forever everyday you woul want to sleep when ou get back but then you woujld have to help with other responsibities.

#2: The three questions that kept occupying Salva's thoughts are
Where are we going?
Where is my famliy?
When will I see them again?
For question 1, I think that he is going somewhere very far away from the war so that he can be safe. For question 2, I think that his family is still in the war trying to find him, and at the same time they are trying to stay away from the war. Finally, for question 3, I think that Salva will see a part of his family again but after a very long time.
If this would be happening to me, I would be really sad and mad. I would always be asking myself the same questions too.

In the first chapter I learn that Salva is constantlly hiding from war and Their community is very different from mine because they had tribes but in Canada we don't have those any more. Three questions that are going through Salva's mind are " where is my family ?", "Where am I going?" , "will I ever see them again?" If I was in Salva's situation I would be asking the same questions.
Naya's reponsibility if getting water for her family but if I had the same reponsibility as her I don't think I could handle it

Jemma Ontario

Every single day Nya has to walk 8 hours to get water for her and her family. She walks a very long way. If I were in the same circumstances as Nya I would probably be very frustrated, but at the same time proud of myself for taking on a big responsibility like that. I would probably .be very tired and maybe sick of doing that everyday. It is truly amazing how Nya can do all of that by herself.

What I have learned about Salva's life is that he belongs to a rich family, and that his school was attcked by a evil governmant. The three queston in his mind was wheres my family? Will I ever see them again? and Why did they leave me? I fell that the two charaters are the same. The way two tribes can tell each other apart is scars on there heads.

The things that we learn about Salva's life and culture is that people have different beliefs and that kids start becoming a man with responsibilities about the age of 11, women or girls never go to school they just learn how to take care of the house. The ways that Salva's culture and way of life is different than ours is that all boys and girls go to school, both girls and boys have responsibilities, and men don't have more than one wife.

In Salvaś ife he has faced many things that people here dont have to, for exaple in his tribe , someone from every family is required to wake up before the sunrise and walk for miles an miles hours and hours just yto fetch water for his for hers family.

Drew, C.A.

Every day, Nya walks multiple miles with a container that she fills up for her family. She then walks back to her village with a container full of dirty, unsanitary water.
How would I feel if I had such an essential duty? I would feel a need to complete this task and help my family. However, I would be scared that my only water source could poison me and I have no other options. That's how I would feel if I had such an important task.

Different ways tribes can tell each other apart are by the markings on their skin and by their tribes patterns. Salva`s tribe has a pattern that they wear to tell each other apart. It`s also part of their culture. They wear it as a tradition to of their tribe. They can also tell each other apart by the instruments. Tribes and groups play instruments to express how they feel and to celebrate. Some cultures and tribes have unique instruments that their tribe and people created and play.

If I had a very responsible duty like this one, I would be in pain that I had to walk in the extremely long path that is scattered by thorns, when the sun is strong and it is extremely hot! This is a very responsible duty! I don't think that I would be able to do this! Carrying a big jug of water on my head that is probably more heavier than me! Maybe I could be able to do such a big responsibility, but for sure, I would definitely get tired right away! Nya is a very brave and a very responsible women that can be able to do his job!

Then she carries a water bowl on her head and holds it with one hand. When she gets home she eats and then goes straight back to get water from the well again. I wouldn't be able to do anything as impressive as her, i would get tired probably right away, and would not be able to. balance water on my head that weighs more than i do.

Nya has an important role to play, as it is her responsibility to get water for her family. If she becomes incapable of retrieving the water, then either someone else has to do it or they will die in approximately 4 days. To make matters worse for her, the climate isn't the most favorable it can be. If my household was unable to get water, and the only way in getting water would be to walk for miles and miles in the hot sun, I would know that my responsibility is essential to my entire family, and even if I don't enjoy it, I will continue to do it as long as I would need to.

Salva is a part of a south sudanese tribe by the name of the Dinka tribe. The Dinka tribe also has some conflict with the Nuer tribe because of colonization problems. He walks 30 minutes everyday to school just for his education. For many people we take education for granted so we should start to think about how lucky we are for our education. I would say we have things in common like our strive to learn more everyday. Although my life isn’t very similar to Salva as for him, his life is much more difficult.

The way Salva tells the different tribes apart is that her sign for her tribe is the Dinka pattern.

I have seen such children like Salva in India who can't find their family and are very alone. Salva's life is very different from mine, even though we are both lucky to go to school, his environment is entirely different. One thing that Salva does is he calls the barn lady "Aunty". He says that to show respect and also is what you call people especially if you speak Urdu or Hindi.I also call people "Aunty" and "Uncle" to show proper respect. Overall Salva's life is very different from mine caused by weather, environment people, clothes and beliefs.

The different tribes tell each other apart by the designs on their heads. Other ways that we can tell apart people from different cultures is by their physical features, for example eyes, skin colours and more. Another way we can tell the difference between people is the way they dress, for example some people wear certain traditional hats or dresses. Lastly you can tell apart people of different cultures by what they believe in or what their thoughts on something is.

Salva's culture and life is different from us because they have more than 1 wife, the girls stay home and learn how to keep house, while the boys over the age ten go to school. I don't think it is anything like our own culture.

Salva is living his life in the Second Sudanese Civil War (Against the rebels and the government). for him this is the first war he's experience in his lifetime. Salva got separated from his family when the teacher heard the sound of a gunshot.

His culture is very different because he has to walk to everywhere he goes and to start school at the age of 10.

His life is not as easy doing all that stuff and waiting till age ten to go to school. For me i don't have to do that. I can drive a car to places and do other stuff more efficient. I can walk, ride and get a ride to places, get free education for 12 years.

From what we learned in the book '' A long walk to water'' is that different tribes can tell themselves apart from tribal scars or marks. A lot of these scars are very distinctive. Usually women will have zig zag patterns, on their forehead and men will either have straight lines across their forehead or zig zag scars similar to the women. Some other ways I can tell my peers apart by their skin color, personality, and certain clothes that they wear.

I think we learned that Salva has a life that is a lot different of us, he has multiple mothers, He can go to school but his sisters can't. His sisters have to learn on how to keep a clean house. The starting age of education is 10 years. There is a lot of discrimination of religion, whereas in Canada, we are a free country, no matter what religion or skin color you are.

2)Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again? I think Salva is going to find a group and in the group, he is going to find his dad. If I was in the same circumstances I would act the same and to honest the same three questions would also be in my head

I learned that their villages have fewer people than in our cities, and everyone lives a lot closer, so they all know each other better. Also the girls dont go to school, and the chores or work the kids have to do seems more intense than anything we might do here. They don't have all the technology that we have accepted as a part of our daily lives.

Q3-Nya's journey was very hard because she has to balance water on her head and she can't drink any. She has to be careful not to drop it, even if she steps on something sharp that makes her bleed. She has a long walk and the water is dirty. If I was her I would think that my life was sad and 100% boring. I'm glad that I have an amazing life in Canada.

The 3 questions in Salva’s thoughts were “What are they going to do to us?”, “Where is my family?”, and “Where are we going?” I would think that the rebels would keep these people as hostage so it would give the government attention. I would think Salva’s family would be in one of the groups that the rebels formed to keep hostage. And I think they will be going to the government to show that they will kill the hostages or civilians from Sudan. The circumstances in my mind would be bizzare. I would be really angry and sad because these Rebels were hurting innocent people.

What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

There are three questions that are going through Salva's mind, the first being "Will I see my family again?". I believe the answer to this question is that he will see his family at the end of the book because he extremely determined. The second question is "Where am I?", I think he is within one mile of my village because he didn't travel very far. The third question is "Where am I going to go?" I think he will try to find safety and shelter because those are key aspects to keeping yourself alive.

If I were in Salva's place the things on my mind would be how I would find food and shelter, finding where I am so I can figure out where I can go, and what I am going to do when I find shelter.

The three questions that occupy Salva's thoughts are where is he going, where is his family, and when will he see his family again. I think Salva is going to the North part of Africa, I think his family is running away through a different route., and I do think he will see his family again. If I was under Salva's circumstances I would be thinking when will I see my family, what will happen to me, how can I escape, and are they going to kill me?

“Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again?” These thoughts are constantly in Salva's mind. He is going to safety, Family in the village with little to no chance of seeing them again. If I was in his position I would be scared too. Would be thinking, "Why did they leave me? How will I survive? Will I stay all alone? Will I ever see my family alive again?"

"How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures?" Some ways they can tell each other apart are face features. Also they've been around each other long and they know there differences but if we go around them i don't think we would know the difference cause we barely been around them and don't know there differences very well. I can tell the difference from myself and people from other cultures by face features, height, body type, skin color, the simple features.

Stuart C PA

The place I live, my township, is like a village Salva used to live in.

Everyday Nya has to go with the responsibility of gathering water for her family and then walking four hours back before school started. After all four hours of walking, Nya has to fill her juracan with gross water from the pond that can give her family potential diseases. If I ever had the responsibility of doing that every day, I would have so much stress. Imagine waking up at the crack of dawn and fishing gross water that you know will hurt your body but drink it anyway and also try to make it back to school just in time. I could never take on the task that Nya does every single day.

Where are they going? They went to the barn. Where is me family? Dead most likely or slight chance they are running away. When will I see them again? Maybe they are alive but back to question 2 could be dead.

Q 3 Maria S.- Nya has to have an essential role and yet is disallowed to be significant, disallowed an opinion or education. If I had to go through Nya's journey everyday I would feel important and yet undervalued. Important for having such an essential role, undervalued for not being able to get a formal education and being expected to stay home and be obedient.

2017-10-11 18:47:58 UTC

Chosen Question: 1

From the first chapter we can learn that Salva’s family is more fortunate than other families. I know because, his family has a lot of cows. We can learn this because, having more cows usually means you’re more privileged than other families. This is because, more cows means the more money you have (to buy the cow’s food, land, and the cows themselves), and have more food (the cows.. WHAT!? You think they’re there for show?).

the three main questions asked by Salva were "were's my family", "why did they leave me?", and "where would I go?". The thought of his family pops up in his mind over and over since his escape. Since his father is the chief of the village, Salva's parents are probably in danger as the troops will probably capture the chief first for information and secrets. I think the reason why the people left him without a word is because they think that Salva would drag them down throughout the journey. Salva kept wondering about where he would go, if I was in a situation like that, I would probably travel until I find a village or safe house away from the fighting. If I was put into a situation like that I would probably be thinking the same thing as those would be the three things that would concern me the most.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

In Salva’s school, they have benches where à whole lot of kids sit but in Canada we have chairs
Salva works in a farm and in Canada, young children don’t really work in farms
Salva’s family is always on the verge of death and are very nervous because of the war. Thankfully, in Canada we don’t have that kind of problem.
In Salva’s village, they don’t have cars, where their mom or dad can pick them up, they have to walk all the way to home.
Salva learns arabic in school however in my school we learn only French and English He also has his own tribe language that he uses in his village.
Salva doesn’t go to school all year because in dry season, his family needs to move conversly, I stay the whole year
Salva starts school at age ten!!! In Ontario, we start at age 3
In Salva’s village girls cannot go to school, they need to stay at home and do unfair “girl work”.
Salva gets to shoot real bow and arrows at animals whereas in Canada it’s illegal

Nya's journey is rough, she hasto wak miles to get water and not come home till late. I couldn't imagine doing that. If I had such an essential part like her I wouldn't have a very good life, even though I hd the main resources we need in life.

Salva's life does not seem anything similer to mine they have tribes but in canada we don't have those and constantey hiding from war is extremelly different from my life . Thre questions that are going throgh his mind are "where am I going", "where is my family","will I ever see them again". Naya's journey or getting water everyday seems like a very essecial and important jodb if I had a jod like that I probably not be able to handle it but since this water is important to life I would have to push myself to go get water . In the Dinka tribe they tell them selves from other tribes because when they get old enough they cut a V shap scar on your forehead to indicate you are a part of the tribe.

I would feel like there was a lot of work to do, but I’d rather do that then sit all day like a lot of people do now a days. Also I’d rather do that because I like to work hard unlike a lot of people now just always on technology.

- What happened ? Where is my family? are they alive? i don' t think they are alive, they are dead, and they are at the village.
- nya's every day job is very important because she provides the family with water.
-They tell each other apart from different tribs by a symbol on their fore head, while we divide by cultures and countries

So far in the book we've learned about Salva's life in a threatening and dangerous situation.
He wonders where will he meet his family again, where here his family is, and when will he will find them.Nya's everyday life is a long, painful struggle. Different tribes wear different patterns on their clothes to show off their difference.

From the first paragraph, I can tell that Salva's life in Sudan is horrible. In the school, a sudden war started by a gun shot caused a chaos in the school. Outside the school, everyone is running on the street with fear. In Sudan, not only not enough water to drink, any sudden danger and also happen.

It doesn't Want salva because he's just another mouth to feed And he won't keep up . the thoughts going through salvas mind are where's my family will I ever see them again and how will I survive. Naya’s Journey everyday is to get water from the pond / Lake for her family. If I had that kind of responsibility I would feel very bored and very sad cuz I could not go to school and get an education. The way the two tribes tell themselves apart are the head markings and the different languages. the way I tell myself apart from other students is because I'm double-jointed and cross-eyed. The way my partner tells herself apart from other people is because that she loves to do art and make cat toys for her cats.

Shalaya and Connor, London Ontario Canada

2017-10-13 13:46:25 UTC

1. The group thinks salva will slow them down.

2. Because she goes to the lake and grabs water everyday

3.i have discoverd three challenges and 1 is that salva needs to walk forever 2 get water and 2. Is that he is trying to find his family 3. Stay with a group so you’re a harder target.

Question 4:compare nyas life at the lake camp with her life at home (consider the availability of water,shelter,and safety)

The lake camp is better becuase shes closer to water. Also she gets more food and stuff than at home and she is more safe at the lake camp.

If we didn't know where we are going and we didn’t have a place to call home we would be upset.

If i had a job like her I would be extremly careful because I wouldnt want to get a splinter in my foot and also i wouldnt want to spill the water.

Salva goes to school, just like we do in modern times, although his school is a bit different. They sit on benches instead of chairs and learn Arabic instead of Spanish or French like we would. Though these differences occur, his school has the same overall idea as ours: to learn.

2017-10-17 14:06:12 UTC

Gabby B, NC

2017-10-17 14:55:22 UTC

The different tribes in this book are similar but very different in many ways. One of the ways is their appearance. Some tribes tell each other apart by putting a mark (they give them scars) according to the tribe. I know this because in Chapter three of “A Long Walk to Water” the author states “the ritual scar patterns on her forehead… they were Dinka patterns."

Susie, WI

2017-10-17 14:55:27 UTC

Fromm the first few chapters, we caught a glimpse into the world of Nya. Her culture is much different form that of ours. She has a much harder lifestyle, but through that we realize all that we have to obtain compared to them.

Maddie, WI

2017-10-17 14:58:01 UTC

Nya's journey to get water was very long and tough. It was very hot, and there were thorny plants along the way. It would usually take half of the day just to get the water and carry it back. If I had that responsibility, I feel I would not be very good at it because it would be hard to do that every day.

If i had such a big responsibility like Nya, I would do it, but I wouldn't be happy and yeah

I learn about how salvas life is considered good where he is born.He is privileged enough to go to school and his father was one of the most wealthy men in his tribe.

Nya’s job is to bring water to her family every day. First, Nya goes to the pond to collect water, she walks many miles to get to the water and back home. She goes two times a day, she spends her entire day doing this chore. After,she gets back home she delivers her water to her mother and then goes back again to collect more.i found this on Chapter 4, page 20 and chapter 5,page 26 and 27. If I had Nya’s job I would be very stressed and tired every moment of every day.

In A Long Walk to Water there is two tribes Dinka and Nuer. You can tell the difference by the pattern they carved in their forehead. For instance in chapter 3 the author states that,”The ritual scars on her forehead were familiar, they were Dinka patterns”. Some ways I can tell myself apart from other students from other cultures are by the way we dress, the food we eat, the music we listen too. And many other ways.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting thought the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

We learn that Salva doesn’t have to go to school as often as most kids, since Africa’s weather can be harsh. I, however, have to go to school A LOT more. He mainly learns Arabic, not Spanish like our electives. He also has to take care of his pets (cows) by walking them to watering holes. My pets (2 cats and 3 dogs) are a lot easier to take care of. He doesn’t really have any fun games other than clay sculpting and hunting, while I have QuizUp on my phone :) Speaking of hunting, that is one of the only ways to get food where Salva lives. When he gets food, he parties HARD. The only food he really gets is milk and game from hunting, while I mainly eat pasta. That’s it!

PART1
The tribes in this book are very similar, but are also very different. There are many ways that they can be told apart. But one way that they are told apart is the markings or scars that are on there forehead. One way that religions or groups are told apart could be the way they dress or act in daily life.

I know because in A Long Walk To Water chapter 3 it says “ Two of the men had patterns of V-shaped scars on their forehead. Dinka patterns again.”

Javan A.,NC

2017-10-17 20:12:06 UTC

PART 2
The group doesnt want to take him because he is a child and they think he will slow them down. In my opinion I can see where they are coming from, but I think that they shouldnt have doubted taking him.

I know this because in A Long Walk To Water chapter 4 it says “Several men at the front of the group began speaking to each other. He is a child. He will slow us down.”

The 3 thoughts are, "Will I ever see me family again?", "Where are we going?", and "Who are these people"

Under these circumstances, I would be really scared and would probably not last very long.

Every day Nya has to walk a long way while watching for danger and the long walk back is harder still. I would feel like the weight of a whole village in on my shoulders...which it is.

Salvas life is like he goes to school and listens but at the end he usually thinks of going home and hunting and getting glass of milk. It's kinda like myne but I Stay focused on the task to get it done. I know this because in chapter 1 pg 3 to 5

His eyes kept flicking toward the window. His mom would get a bowl of milk for salva to fill him up till dinner. Then gunshots started shooting around the school.

Nay´s life at the lake camp was easier than her life at home because she can get all the water she needs in her life. At her home,it is harder because she doesn't have all the water she needs . Also the water is infested and muddy. It´s not healthy at all. She can get many diseases and die of dehydration. She shares 4 liters of water with her whole family and the body naturally needs 4 litters of water day.

3.Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?
In my opinion Nya’s journey everyday is rough. She has to walk to the water everyday twice a day. She gets splinters and thorn stuck into her foot, “There was a big torn that broke off right in the middle of her heel” this is showing she is strong and brave and she keeps going even when times get tough “She pressed her lips together against the pain”. If i had that responsibility i would feel broken down and scared. I think i would feel this way because when you walking for miles u don’t know what can or will happen and when u get hurt there isn’t a doctors you can go too.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

From the first chapter we learned that SSalva had different ideas of a meal. For example when he comes home he expects just a bowl of milk for his meal. As said on page 5 “he would have a bowl of fresh milk which would keep his belly full until suppertime”. His idea of luxury is meat and other fruits. This obviously showing he has a very different culture and way of life. That is very different of mine.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

What I learned about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter of A Long Walk To Water was Salva spoke the language of his Dinka tribe. Salva has to walk half an hour to school, no matter what the weather was. Savla has three brothers and two sisters. The more cows you make the richer you were, but they had to be fine, healthy cows. Salva and his tribe would hunt for their food and would have to cook their own food. Salva and his tribe are all under attack, there is a war happening.

One way that Salva’s life and culture is like mine is that I also go to school and I also speak a language, just not the language Salva speaks.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

what i have learned about Salvas culture is that only allows boys to go to school. The girls only make the food and treat to boys. Also salva has a different idea on a snack when you get home. I think of having water and crackers. He thinks of having milk It is nothing like my life because girls and boy are some what “equal” and don't have to do one thing for their whole life. i also see that salva and his brothers hunt for fun, you could not get me to hunt for fun I hate killing animals.

Explain how water dictates Nya’s life. What one thing most dictates your life?

The water controls nya because she has no time in her days to do anything else. She also gets hurt making the trip because she has no shoes which leads to splinter, thorns, and other injuries. The biggest thing that dictates nyas life in that she is a girl. If she was not a girl she would not have to go get water and she would get to go to school. She also would not have to drink the water she got before it was boiled.

Jazmin S. NC How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures? Different tribes tell themselves apart from each other by the marking on their foreheads. You will have a marking on your forehead depending on which tribe you are from so when you see another people you can easily tell who is from what tribe. I know this because it says it on chapter 4 , page 21 & 22 . You can tell yourself apart from another student by evaluating how they talk, walk, how they dress and how they style their hair.

"What do we learn about Salva's life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

We learn that Salva's life is extremely different from ours. He lives in Africa and is learning to speak Arabic in school. His family owns cattle that he was in charge of. The girls don't go to school and a war is happening in his country. Our society is much different than this.

"Describe and explain Nya's journey every day. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Nya's responsibility is to go and fetch water for her family every day. Twice a day. Two hours each walk. Her job is essential because her family needs water to stay alive. It would feel immensely important to have a job like Nya's because you are literally keeping your family alive.

What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

The first main question that occupies Salva’s thoughts is that he wants to know where his family is and he wants to be with them and also Salva says this “Where is my family?”several times in the book so far.the second question that occupy Salva’s thoughts is that he is always hungry because he doesn't eat that much and when he does eat he is still hungry afterwards because food is really scarce in Africa.Also,Salva always and i'm sure, that he always is wondering and thinking of when his next meal is,here's a quote from Salva from the story to prove “there was only enough for each boy to have a few bites,but,oh,how delicious those bites were!’’.My third question that occupies in Salva’s thoughts is that when are Salva and his group ever gonna get to Ethiopia?I know for sure Salva is thinking this because Salva and his group [following with Salva's uncle too] have to walk miles and miles just to get there, and it's gonna take a lot of energy to do so and most importantly water[so the dont dehydrate,pass out and worse case,die],so since that's hard to do because the conditions Salva and the group he's in is in...everyone is struggling and what makes it worse and more complicated for Salva is that on the way to Ethiopia,Salva stubs his toe on a rock and his toenail came off!

Peyton S, NC

2017-10-18 00:53:12 UTC

The three questions that continue to occupy Salva’s thoughts are “Where are we going? Where is my family? and When will I see them again?”. These questions continue to stay on his mind and mess with his head. These questions are found throughout chapters 2-6 though first introduced in chapter 2 pg.9. Now since we had read past this chapter one of his questions has been answered they are going to Ethiopia. I predict that Salva’s family has probably found somewhere to stay safe from the war and it will be a very long time before he sees his family again because I believe he is going the opposite direction of them though he finds his uncle. The same things would be going through my mind also like where my family would be and how I am going to find them.

The three questions were where are we going?, where is my family?, and when will I see them again. I think that they aren't going to a specific place and they are just trying to get away. I also think that his family is either lost or killed. Last I think that he will either not see them for a very long time or he will never see them again. Salva is probably scared and worried about his family.

question-Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

answer-Nya’s life to me is definitely not easy! One thing that Nya had to do was go get water twice everyday! In the story Nya said,”She pressed her lips together against the pain” that shows that even though she did not no what was really happening she had to go along with it anyway and be strong. If I had those responsibilities I would feel scared, worried, and nervous because I would really have no idea what could or will happen!

Answer-The water controls Nya’s life because that is what she has to do and does not really have much time for anything else. If she were a boy she would not have to make any more trips to get water and would be able to go to school. She talks about how making the trips to get water have leaded to “a big thorn that had broken off right in the middle of her heal”. On thing that dictates One thing that dictates my life is food because you need food to live so that rules my life.

What three questions occupy Salva's thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions.What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?
The three questions he thought were "Where is family?" "When will i see them again?" "What are they going to do to us?" Q1: I think maybe he will not find his family alive in Ethiopia Q2: He may not see them again because they have possibly already been killed. Q3: All tribes might have have been lured out to Ethiopia as a trap, and soon, could all die. In my mind i might've probably felt anxious, and frightened at the fact my family could be gone forever and i wouldn't even know it.But at times i would have to remind myself that someone else out there always has it worse and be grateful for being alive and well.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

We learned in the first chapter that Salva doesn’t have a great life and is going through a lot.He thinks of things differently than we do today,like the meals he eats.For example on page 4&5 saying,”Thinking of those memory’s makes me hungry...milk.”and “When he got home,he would have a fresh bowl of milk,which would keep his belly full till suppertime.”It’s not like me because when i get hungry i eat a meal and it’s different because i don’t have to run away from war.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

In my opinion i think that Nya’s journey was rough and hard.She had to walk a lot twice a day and sometimes got hurt according to page 8 it says “She looked at the bottom of her foot.” “There was,a big thorn that had broken off right in the middle of her heal.” She was very brave and didn’t let many things get in her way.”She picked up another thorn and started to pick at the first one.”If i had this responsibility i would feel tired,scared,sad and worn out. Walking for miles and miles and not knowing how far you have anything could happen to you at any time and no doctor or someone with information about injuries could help.

The three thoughts that are going through Salva's head are "where are we going, where is my family, When will I see them again" It says later on in the story that they are going to Ethiopia.
His family are either walking with another group of tribespeople, or they got killed in the fighting or on the long journey. I would have similar thoughts if I was in the same situation where I had to flee the fighting and was separated from my family.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Nya’s everyday journey is to retrieve water for a pound 2 times a day, every morning and every evening. I know this because in Chapter 4 in A Long Walk to Water, it states “ Nya would now make her second trip to the pound. To the pound and back-to the pound and back nearly a full day of walking altogether. This was Nya’s daily routine seven mouths of the year daily. Every single day.” I would feel like i have a lot of weight on my shoulder ever day of those seven mouths.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Everyday Nya would walk miles in the blazing heat and through thorns to get to a small pond. She would fill her container that she brought with her and walk all the way back to her house. She would drink and eat, “Home for just long enough, Nya would now make her second trip to the pond,” then set out on another journey to get more water. I’d feel very stressed because if I don’ get water, my family will die.

We know that Salva’s family is pretty wealth and they own cattle. The boys are in charge of the cattle and the girls are in charge of getting water. We also know that only one boy at a time can go to school, while the girls can’t go to school. And no Salva’s life is different than mine because all the children in our family can go to school and we pay to get clean water.

Water dictates Nya's life because water is hard to come by in Africa. If you don't have a source of water,then you can't live. Nya's way to get water is digging three feet in the clay and sit and slowly scoop water up with a gourd. One thing that dictates my life is my mom and dad got duvorsed .When I was 7 year old they split it was vary hard. One way it dictates my life is it is hard for my mom and dad to support are family on one income.

The group doesn't want Salva because he is just a little boy, and he would take some of the food, and water. I think that it is unfair that the group rejects Salva because he is not just a little baby; he will help the group, he will not just walk with them, and eat their food. He would be responsible to take care of himself.

Malik A. MI

2017-10-18 15:58:24 UTC

The reason that the group of people do not want to take in saliva is because that is another mouth to feed and the food is already scarce . Another reason that they do not want a childish complainer but salva wants to prove himself and prove them wrong . How i feel about this is that they should give him a chance to prove himself.

From his life there was a war going on when he was in school and then the teacher the them to run into the bushes and not return to the village because that was where the wars was going on. When he ran he wonder about his family and if he is going to see them again.

Yes because I move a lot (but without a war) and it is sad to move from one place to another leaving what you’re use to .

1. Salva takes care of the cows. Though he is young he works extremely hard. His life is not like mine because unlike me he does not have entertainment like technology, proper clothes, clean water, and full meals. They don't have transportation and well built homes. Salva should get some respect because he is working very hard to achieve is goals and survive. He doesn't have proper doctors or medicine. This is why his life is different than mine.

By Muhammad in Canada

In southern Sudan, Salva's family would probably be considered a more wealthy family, as he later says that he was never really hungry back at home. He also mentioned that they had very fine cattle, his family did. Just like my life, and many other people's lives, Salva has chores, but he also has time to play, and be a kid. I live in a very safe country, whereas Salva, on the other hand, lives in a war-torn country, where many people who were not born there, are frightened to go there.

I think the worst element was when Mariel died. Marial and Salva were becoming very good friends and then the next day he just died. It was probably pretty sad for Salva. The desert could be the worst because it has no food or water, it also is so long. They are going to have to walk for miles and miles.

Josh Toronto What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

2017-10-19 17:28:28 UTC

No Salva's life is not like my life because I live in a more developed Country and a more safe Country . My country has water and not as many wars and no civil wars and our government doesn't care about your religion.

Elias, Toronto, Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

2017-10-19 17:30:36 UTC

Every day, Nya has to get up early, when her family is still asleep, and go on a journey (walking) that can take hours, to get water for her family
If I had to make this journey every day, I would feel tired, and annoyed that the government is not doing anything to help

Liv - Toronto

okramer — 2017-10-19 17:31:47 UTC

Nya's daily walk seems like such a pain and horrific daily routine. I would feel so pressured as my entire family's water source was relying on me. When we brush our teeth, wash our faces and hands, clean out services in Showers or baths , etc. the only people we rely on is the water company to make sure it runs, but if Neya falls or slips or something happens to this dangerous water her whole family has to suffer because of her mistake. To me water is the most important resource.

1. The different tribes tell themselves apart with different tattoo scars on their forheads. Even today we still tell ourselves apart with different things on our skins. For example birthmarks. Everyone has unique and different birthmarks. Birthmarks are almost the exact same method to the tattoo scars to tell people apart except birthmarks are natural and tattoo scars are not.

Salva might be wondering what happened to make everyone leave him in the barn. He also might be wondering how long ago they left, and if he should go out of the barn to find all of them. That is what I would be thinking if I was in that situation.

Nya’s responsibility to fetch water for her family is probably like the biggest responsibility a kid, or anyone could have. Water is a necessity because without it, you cannot live. The journey to get water is a very hard one because sometimes, the water is very far away. To get the water you have to fill up a gourd and carry it all the way home. The gourd is very heavy because water can weigh a lot. I would be very overwhelmed if I had to do what Nya has to. It would be hard for me to carry it home, especially if I lived far away from the source of water because I am not used to doing things like that. Also, if I stepped on something sharp, like Nya did I would be in so much pain because my feet are not very used to walking barefoot everywhere I go.Kate, Toronto

The different tribes tell each other apart by the different scarring on their foreheads. We, in Toronto tell different religions and cultures apart by different things. For example, if you see a guy in a yameka, it is most likely that he is Jewish. Sometimes, if someone looks like a latino or latina then it is most likely that they do some things of that culture. Of course, it is not as accurate as having your religion or culture marked right on your face like the Dinka and Nuer tribes did, with your knowledge of culture of different races, religions, and ethnicities, you can tell what people are, most of the time.

The three things going through salvas mind were… were are we going? where is my family? and when will i see them again? I think that if i were in that situation I would think the same things because my family is so important to me. The only thing I would add is that i would be thinking about how scared i am and why this is happening.

I Know salvas three thoughts because in the book it quotes… “Where are we going? Where is my family? When will i see them again?. I think this is very hard for salva as well.

The book states all these quotes because salva is alone and has nobody to talk to. This is hard for salva because he is not used to being without his family.

Nya’s life was tough. Nya’s life was tough because every day she had to hold a very heavy container and then walk very far. It is hard to do that every day because after every single day her legs are hurting from walking, her arms are hurting from carrying water and her feet are hurting from stepping on thorns.

Sarah, Toronto

What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

His questions are “where are we going?” “where is my family?” “when will I see them again?”. I think they were going to a camp where they would be safe and I also think they were going to contact the rest of the village to meet them there. I think his family is still in the village and are hopefully coming to meet them somewhere. I think Salva will see his family again soon but not as soon as he’d like to. I would be very worried that I would never see my family and that they might have been taken to a camp by the rebels. I would also be worried that they might be injured or worse and I would be very panicked because I wouldn’t have known where we were going, what we were doing, and why we were leaving our families behind.

Micah, Wisconsin

We learn that Salva's culture was different then ours because their village marks the tribe symbol on their heads. And his life is different because his family moves away from the village in the dry season.

Kaleb B, NC Discussion Question P1

2017-10-19 21:01:59 UTC

Q1: How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures?

A1: They tell each other apart by facial scar markings. “I crept closer and was relieved to see traditional dinka markings on her face.” This is what Salva was thinking after he was left in the barn and was creeping closer to the lady. He was relieved because if the woman was not dinka she probably wouldn’t of helped Salva. At school we can tell each other's culture by skin color and jewelry. Because Sudan is as diverse in skin tones as the U.S.A they can not rely on skin color to tell tribes apart.

Q2: What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

A2: The three questions that occupied Salva’s thoughts were: “Where am I going?”, “Where is my family?”, “When will I see them again?” I think his family is either already in Ethiopia or they are close to getting there because Salva got left in the barn which put him behind by a day or two. Since we have read further into the book, I know Salva and his group are going to Ethiopia. I think Salva will see his family soon after he gets to Ethiopia because they might have a gathering and sort the people from different villages out. They did this earlier in the story. I think I would probably be thinking to get where I was going alive then try to find my family.

Salva is at a school when they hear gunshots and has to run away

Keegan D. NCType your answers to Part 1 questions here. What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?We learn about how Salva has to walk 30 minutes to school every day. He lived in a small village called Lon-Ariik. He learned about the Arabic language, although he already knew most of it. His life doesn’t really relate to mine in many ways. Of course we all have to go to school, but it only takes about 5 minutes to get to school.

The different tribes tell themselves apart from each other by the markings on their foreheads. The markings are different for each town because each one has a different ceremony for when a boy becomes a man. And different town speak a certain language or variation of language.

Salva came to be a leader of a group and came to be very similar to (in Nya’s word) “the boss”. I think he is very similar to the boss because of the very similar ways he said how he talks to his group members and the way Nys describes how he talks to them. For example Nya said “ The boss would encourage the workers and laugh and joke with them. If that didn’t work, he would talk to them earnestly and try to persuade them. And if that didn’t work, he would get angry.” Salva said about him and his members that “ Salva would talk to them encourage them, coax and persuade them. Once in awhile he had to speak sternly or even shout.” Along with this information we are able to infer that “ the boss “ is Salva. This shows that my prediction was wrong about Nya being Salva’s granddaughter. With this we are also able to say that Salva has changed and proved he is important to the/ a group.

When the narrater said Each time, Salva would think of his family and his village, and he was somehow able to keep his wounded feet moving forward, one painful step at a time.”

“It was hard to keep hope alive when there was so little to feed it.” i thought " what could it mean"
what that means is, it was hard for Salva to think positive when everything that was happening to him was the most negative thing ever.“The author is trying to make me understand…” that even when you are stuck in situation like Salva’s you have to try and keep hope alive even if you have to swim to find it.A real connection would have to be , when someone thinks that they are’nt worthfull to live, it would be good if they knew this quote to swim to find the hope to make hem know , that if they take up space they matter just as much as the rest of us.

I couldn't help but notice the similarities between Salva and

From the outside, I am sure it would be hard to tell Salva apart from the rest of the boys. His attitude is what sets him apart. The same is true for "The Boss". The similar

I know that salva comes form a tribe and goes to school. I think it is unfair of salva's life because only boys could go to school not girls the girls stayed at home taking care of the house. This is not like my own because weather you are a girl or not you go to school and learn/ have a education.

Nya's Life Nya's Life If I was Nya and I had Maddie Dosser TN Maddie Dosser TN Part Five: I couldn't help but notice the similarities between Salva and "The Boss". Neither got angry very often. Both lead their "troops" from among the ranks. Salva makes sure each boy has a job to give them a sense of community. This includes himself. From the outside, I am sure it would be hard to tell Salva apart from the rest of the boys. His attitude is what sets him apart. The same is true for "The Boss". The similar Shiza Canada Shiza Canada When the narrater said Each time, Salva would think of his family and his village, and he was somehow able to keep his wounded feet moving forward, one painful step at a time.” “It was hard to keep hope alive when there was so little to feed it.” i thought " what could it mean" what that means is, it was hard for Salva to think positive when everything that was happening to him was the most negative thing ever.“The author is trying to make me understand…” that even when you are stuck in situation like Salva’s you have to try and keep hope alive even if you have to swim to find it.A real connection would have to be , when someone thinks that they are’nt worthfull to live, it would be good if they knew this quote to swim to find the hope to make hem know , that if they take up space they matter just as much as the rest of us. KKKKkk KKKKkk KKKKkkEdeeeeeeeem KKKKkkEdeeeeeeeem Empty Mostafa Canada Mostafa Canada Salva came to be a leader of a group and came to be very similar to (in Nya’s word) “the boss”. I think he is very similar to the boss because of the very similar ways he said how he talks to his group members and the way Nys describes how he talks to them. For example Nya said “ The boss would encourage the workers and laugh and joke with them. If that didn’t work, he would talk to them earnestly and try to persuade them. And if that didn’t work, he would get angry.” Salva said about him and his members that “ Salva would talk to them encourage them, coax and persuade them. Once in awhile he had to speak sternly or even shout.” Along with this information we are able to infer that “ the boss “ is Salva. This shows that my prediction was wrong about Nya being Salva’s granddaughter. With this we are also able to say that Salva has changed and proved he is important to the/ a group.

Salva learns Arabic in school though it is not the native language of his tribe. We also learned about Salva's village and its culture and lifestyle. Salva's life doesn't really connect to my life at all. I go to school every day and my lifestyle is very different.

Joey WI U.S.A Joey WI U.S.A Salva is at a school when they hear gunshots and has to run away Mostafa Ontario Mostafa Ontario Salva is a part of a south sudanese tribe by the name of the Dinka tribe. The Dinka tribe also has some conflict with the Nuer tribe because of colonization problems. He walks 30 minutes everyday to school just for his education. For many people we take education for granted so we should start to think about how lucky we are for our education. I would say we have things in common like our strive to learn more everyday. Although my life isn’t very similar to Salva as for him, his life is much more difficult. Kaleb B, NC Discussion Question P1 Kaleb B, NC Discussion Question P1 Q1: How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures? A1: They tell each other apart by facial scar markings. “I crept closer and was relieved to see traditional dinka markings on her face.” This is what Salva was thinking after he was left in the barn and was creeping closer to the lady. He was relieved because if the woman was not dinka she probably wouldn’t of helped Salva. At school we can tell each other's culture by skin color and jewelry. Because Sudan is as diverse in skin tones as the U.S.A they can not rely on skin color to tell tribes apart. Q2: What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances? A2: The three questions that occupied Salva’s thoughts were: “Where am I going?”, “Where is my family?”, “When will I see them again?” I think his family is either already in Ethiopia or they are close to getting there because Salva got left in the barn which put him behind by a day or two. Since we have read further into the book, I know Salva and his group are going to Ethiopia. I think Salva will see his family soon after he gets to Ethiopia because they might have a gathering and sort the people from different villages out. They did this earlier in the story. I think I would probably be thinking to get where I was going alive then try to find my family.

Question Emma Wauwatosa Emma Wauwatosa We kearbed abi carter,wi carter,wi hello guys Micah, Wisconsin Micah, Wisconsin We learn that Salva's culture was different then ours because their village marks the tribe symbol on their heads. And his life is different because his family moves away from the village in the dry season. Alyssa, Wi Alyssa, Wi Different tribes tell themselves apart by using markings on their heads Sarah, Toronto Sarah, Toronto What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances? His questions are “where are we going?” “where is my family?” “when will I see them again?”. I think they were going to a camp where they would be safe and I also think they were going to contact the rest of the village to meet them there. I think his family is still in the village and are hopefully coming to meet them somewhere. I think Salva will see his family again soon but not as soon as he’d like to. I would be very worried that I would never see my family and that they might have been taken to a camp by the rebels. I would also be worried that they might be injured or worse and I would be very panicked because I wouldn’t have known where we were going, what we were doing, and why we were leaving our families behind. Sammy, Toronto Sammy, Toronto Nya’s life was tough. Nya’s life was tough because every day she had to hold a very heavy container and then walk very far. It is hard to do that every day because after every single day her legs are hurting from walking, her arms are hurting from carrying water and her feet are hurting from stepping on thorns. Matthew E. Toronto Question 3: Nya Matthew E. Toronto Question 3: Nya If I had to do this everyday I would be very upset, to walk at least five hours and carry a heavy water jug on my head I can barely walk an hour without water and resting so walking five, and half of that walk carrying a heavy jug of water I just couldn’t do Olivia K. Olivia K. The three things going through salvas mind were… were are we going? where is my family? and when will i see them again? I think that if i were in that situation I would think the same things because my family is so important to me. The only thing I would add is that i would be thinking about how scared i am and why this is happening. I Know salvas three thoughts because in the book it quotes… “Where are we going? Where is my family? When will i see them again?. I think this is very hard for salva as well. The book states all these quotes because salva is alone and has nobody to talk to. This is hard for salva because he is not used to being without his family. The different tribes tell each other apart by the different scarring on their foreheads. We, in Toronto tell different religions and cultures apart by different things. For example, if you see a guy in a yameka, it is most likely that he is Jewish. Sometimes, if someone looks like a latino or latina then it is most likely that they do some things of that culture. Of course, it is not as accurate as having your religion or culture marked right on your face like the Dinka and Nuer tribes did, with your knowledge of culture of different races, religions, and ethnicities, you can tell what people are, most of the time.

Water is a necessity because without it, you cannot live. The journey to get water is a very hard one because sometimes, the water is very far away. To get the water you have to fill up a gourd and carry it all the way home. The gourd is very heavy because water can weigh a lot. I would be very overwhelmed if I had to do what Nya has to. It would be hard for me to carry it home, especially if I lived far away from the source of water because I am not used to doing things like that. Also, if I stepped on something sharp, like Nya did I would be in so much pain because my feet are not very used to walking barefoot everywhere I go.Kate, Toronto Nya’s responsibility to fetch water for her family is probably like the biggest responsibility a kid, or anyone could have.

The different tribes tell themselves apart with different tattoo scars on their forheads. Even today we still tell ourselves apart with different things on our skins. For example birthmarks. Everyone has unique and different birthmarks. Birthmarks are almost the exact same method to the tattoo scars to tell people apart except birthmarks are natural and tattoo scars are not. Liv - Toronto Liv - Toronto Nya's daily walk seems like such a pain and horrific daily routine. I would feel so pressured as my entire family's water source was relying on me. When we brush our teeth, wash our faces and hands, clean out services in Showers or baths , etc. the only people we rely on is the water company to make sure it runs, but if Neya falls or slips or something happens to this dangerous water her whole family has to suffer because of her mistake. To me water is the most important resource. v v Elias, Toronto, Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Molly B ** Eastern Shore, V Molly B ** Eastern Shore, V I think the worst element was when Mariel died. Marial and Salva were becoming very good friends and then the next day he just died.

I think that it is unfair that the group rejects Salva because he is not just a little baby; he will help the group, he will not just walk with them, and eat their food. He would be responsible to take care of himself. Malik Malik MalikA MalikA Gabe, Michigan Gabe, Michigan The reason that the group didn't want Sa Brayden Bishop, MI Brayden Bishop, MI Water dictates Nya's life because water is hard to come by in Africa.

We know that Salva’s family is pretty wealth and they own cattle. The boys are in charge of the cattle and the girls are in charge of getting water. We also know that only one boy at a time can go to school, while the girls can’t go to school. And no Salva’s life is different than mine because all the children in our family can go to school and we pay to get clean water. Peyton H., N Peyton H., N Peyton H. , NC Peyton H. , NC Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? Everyday Nya would walk miles in the blazing heat and through thorns to get to a small pond. She would fill her container that she brought with her and walk all the way back to her house. She would drink and eat, “Home for just long enough, Nya would now make her second trip to the pond,” then set out on another journey to get more water. I’d feel very stressed because if I don’ get water, my family will die. Bridget Schultz NC Bridget Schultz NC Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? Nya’s everyday journey is to retrieve water for a pound 2 times a day, every morning and every evening. I know this because in Chapter 4 in A Long Walk to Water, it states “ Nya would now make her second trip to the pound. To the pound and back-to the pound and back nearly a full day of walking altogether. This was Nya’s daily routine seven mouths of the year daily. Every single day.” I would feel like i have a lot of weight on my shoulder ever day of those seven mouths. Caitlin NC Caitlin NC What three questions occupy Salva's thoughts? Predict the answers to these questions. What might be going through your mind in the same circumstances? The three thoughts that are going through Salva's head are "where are we going, where is my family, When will I see them again" It says later on in the story that they are going to Ethiopia. His family are either walking with another group of tribespeople, or they got killed in the fighting or on the long journey. I would have similar thoughts if I was in the same situation where I had to flee the fighting and was separated from my family. Tyel Tyel They gotta overcome their fear of wild animals walking around.Also they gotta overcome walking barefoot in the hot dusty desert.I think salva is doing good for his age bese not many people his age is going through his life.~ Tyel Tyel Different tribes describe themselves from each other by the scars on their face.I describe myself from students of other cultures by my hair.

Ellie Z,NC Ellie Z,NC What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? We learned in the first chapter that Salva doesn’t have a great life and is going through a lot.He thinks of things differently than we do today,like the meals he eats.For example on page 4&5 saying,”Thinking of those memory’s makes me hungry...milk.”and “When he got home,he would have a fresh bowl of milk,which would keep his belly full till suppertime.”It’s not like me because when i get hungry i eat a meal and it’s different because i don’t have to run away from war. Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? In my opinion i think that Nya’s journey was rough and hard.She had to walk a lot twice a day and sometimes got hurt according to page 8 it says “She looked at the bottom of her foot.” “There was,a big thorn that had broken off right in the middle of her heal.” She was very brave and didn’t let many things get in her way.”She picked up another thorn and started to pick at the first one.”If i had this responsibility i would feel tired,scared,sad and worn out. Walking for miles and miles and not knowing how far you have anything could happen to you at any time and no doctor or someone with information about injuries could help. Allison C, NC Allison C, NC What three questions occupy Salva's thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions.What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances? The three questions he thought were "Where is family?" "When will i see them again?" "What are they going to do to us?" Q1: I think maybe he will not find his family alive in Ethiopia Q2: He may not see them again because they have possibly already been killed. Q3: All tribes might have have been lured out to Ethiopia as a trap, and soon, could all die. In my mind i might've probably felt anxious, and frightened at the fact my family could be gone forever and i wouldn't even know it.But at times i would have to remind myself that someone else out there always has it worse and be grateful for being alive and well. Part 2 Part 2 SarahAnne A ,North Carolina Question-Explain how water dictates Nya’s life. What one thing most dictates your life? Answer-The water controls Nya’s life because that is what she has to do and does not really have much time for anything else. If she were a boy she would not have to make any more trips to get water and would be able to go to school. She talks about how making the trips to get water have leaded to “a big thorn that had broken off right in the middle of her heal”. On thing that dictates One thing that dictates my life is food because you need food to live so that rules my life. Part1 Part1 SarahAnne A,North Carolina question-Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? answer-Nya’s life to me is definitely not easy! One thing that Nya had to do was go get water twice everyday! In the story Nya said,”She pressed her lips together against the pain” that shows that even though she did not no what was really happening she had to go along with it anyway and be strong. If I had those responsibilities I would feel scared, worried, and nervous because I would really have no idea what could or will happen! Bella C, NC Bella C, NC What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances? The three questions were where are we going?, where is my family?, and when will I see them again. I think that they aren't going to a specific place and they are just trying to get away. I also think that his family is either lost or killed. Last I think that he will either not see them for a very long time or he will never see them again. Salva is probably scared and worried about his family. Ty Ty Peyton S, NC Peyton S, NC The three questions that continue to occupy Salva’s thoughts are “Where are we going? Where is my family? and When will I see them again?”. These questions continue to stay on his mind and mess with his head. These questions are found throughout chapters 2-6 though first introduced in chapter 2 pg.9. Now since we had read past this chapter one of his questions has been answered they are going to Ethiopia. I predict that Salva’s family has probably found somewhere to stay safe from the war and it will be a very long time before he sees his family again because I believe he is going the opposite direction of them though he finds his uncle. The same things would be going through my mind also like where my family would be and how I am going to find them. Madilyn, NC Madilyn, NC What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances? The first main question that occupies Salva’s thoughts is that he wants to know where his family is and he wants to be with them and also Salva says this “Where is my family?”several times in the book so far.the second question that occupy Salva’s thoughts is that he is always hungry because he doesn't eat that much and when he does eat he is still hungry afterwards because food is really scarce in Africa.Also,Salva always and i'm sure, that he always is wondering and thinking of when his next meal is,here's a quote from Salva from the story to prove “there was only enough for each boy to have a few bites,but,oh,how delicious those bites were!’’.My third question that occupies in Salva’s thoughts is that when are Salva and his group ever gonna get to Ethiopia?I know for sure Salva is thinking this because Salva and his group [following with Salva's uncle too] have to walk miles and miles just to get there, and it's gonna take a lot of energy to do so and most importantly water[so the dont dehydrate,pass out and worse case,die],so since that's hard to do because the conditions Salva and the group he's in is in...everyone is struggling and what makes it worse and more complicated for Salva is that on the way to Ethiopia,Salva stubs his toe on a rock and his toenail came off! Blake Blake Blake, NC Blake, NC We learn that Salva is part of an important family in his village because his father is very successful and is the village’s judge. My life is not like Salva’s life except I have moved too. My evidence is “Salva’s father was a successful man. He owned many cattle and served as the village’s judge.” Isabel, NC Isabel, NC The three questions that occupy Salva’s thoughts are “Where are we going?”, “Where is my family?”, “When will I see them again?”. What would be going through my mind is “Is there water?”, “Will there be shelter?”, “Who is dead?” Brandon Brandon What Nya does every day is getting water how I woud feel if I had to do that is I would not be to happy . Brandon Brandon Nya's journey every day Lillian, NC Lillian, NC "What do we learn about Salva's life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? We learn that Salva's life is extremely different from ours. He lives in Africa and is learning to speak Arabic in school. His family owns cattle that he was in charge of. The girls don't go to school and a war is happening in his country. Our society is much different than this. "Describe and explain Nya's journey every day. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? Nya's responsibility is to go and fetch water for her family every day. Twice a day. Two hours each walk. Her job is essential because her family needs water to stay alive. It would feel immensely important to have a job like Nya's because you are literally keeping your family alive. Elliot WI Elliot WI What would you feel like if you were in Salva’s situation? I would feel definitely the same way he does, but I’d be a lot More worried An N. An N. Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? Everyday Nya has to walk 2 hours to a pond to fetch water. She fills up a plastic container to the rim and carries it back on her head. Sometimes she might get splinters or other injuries. She does this twice a day. If I had a task like that i would feel very tired and pressured. How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other?

Mackenzie D. Mackenzie D. What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? what i have learned about Salvas culture is that only allows boys to go to school. The girls only make the food and treat to boys. Also salva has a different idea on a snack when you get home. I think of having water and crackers. He thinks of having milk It is nothing like my life because girls and boy are some what “equal” and don't have to do one thing for their whole life. i also see that salva and his brothers hunt for fun, you could not get me to hunt for fun I hate killing animals. Explain how water dictates Nya’s life. What one thing most dictates your life? The water controls nya because she has no time in her days to do anything else. She also gets hurt making the trip because she has no shoes which leads to splinter, thorns, and other injuries. The biggest thing that dictates nyas life in that she is a girl. If she was not a girl she would not have to go get water and she would get to go to school. She also would not have to drink the water she got before it was boiled. Emma P., NC Emma P., NC What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? What I learned about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter of A Long Walk To Water was Salva spoke the language of his Dinka tribe. Salva has to walk half an hour to school, no matter what the weather was. Savla has three brothers and two sisters. The more cows you make the richer you were, but they had to be fine, healthy cows. Salva and his tribe would hunt for their food and would have to cook their own food. Salva and his tribe are all under attack, there is a war happening. One way that Salva’s life and culture is like mine is that I also go to school and I also speak a language, just not the language Salva speaks. Ryan c. NC Ryan c. NC What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? From the first chapter we learned that SSalva had different ideas of a meal. For example when he comes home he expects just a bowl of milk for his meal. As said on page 5 “he would have a bowl of fresh milk which would keep his belly full until suppertime”. His idea of luxury is meat and other fruits. This obviously showing he has a very different culture and way of life. That is very different of mine. Mandi.B NC Mandi.B NC 3.Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? In my opinion Nya’s journey everyday is rough. She has to walk to the water everyday twice a day. She gets splinters and thorn stuck into her foot, “There was a big torn that broke off right in the middle of her heel” this is showing she is strong and brave and she keeps going even when times get tough “She pressed her lips together against the pain”. If i had that responsibility i would feel broken down and scared. I think i would feel this way because when you walking for miles u don’t know what can or will happen and when u get hurt there isn’t a doctors you can go too. Christian Z. MI Christian Z. MI Nay´s life at the lake camp was easier than her life at home because she can get all the water she needs in her life. At her home,it is harder because she doesn't have all the water she needs .

Empty Gabby B, NC Gabby B, NC The different tribes in this book are similar but very different in many ways. One of the ways is their appearance.

Lauren, NC Lauren, NC Q3- Nya’s journey is to go get water, she has to make a hard walk to get there.

I think that his family is in the bush hiding too and everyone left early because they heard gunshots and he didn't wake up so he got left behind to die because they didn't have enough time.

If he didn't, he wouldn't know that wars could be start with a blink of an eye in Sudan.

Brayden.BC.Canada Brayden.BC.Canada In the story Long Walk To Water theres a character named Salva and theres a question about "do think salvas life and culture is like yours" i would say that his life and culture is not like mine at all.

Like my life, he has several siblings, and he plays with them all the time. On the other hand, only him and his brothers are allowed to go to school, while in my life, both girls and boys can go to school. What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances? Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures? Yuta B.C, Canada Yuta B.C, Canada Nya has to walk miles everyday to get water for her family. I think I would feel depressed to walk for miles every day to get water and that I would want someone else to get the water. I learned that Salva's life is nothing like mine..

Also the Dinka people wear certain clothes but I wear anything I want Jayce BC Canada Jayce BC Canada Salva is only 11 years old and been through so much like, Having to be separated from his family, walking all day and night most of the time and lots more.

I learned that Salva life is different from my life because we do not have a war right now with the government. I forgot I harbor Nya’s life I would feel tired, horrible, hurt, dehydrated. I would though she alot of tenacity. One way to tell if someone was part of your group is if they have the same mark as you invite there head. I could tell my self apart because some have head wraps others have special clothing. Will Salva ever try to interfere with the war? Is he going to try and escape to find his family? Will he be patient to find his family? I don’t think he is gonna interfere. I don’t think he’s going to try and escape. I think he willing be patient

How the tribes tell each other apart is by the scars they have on their forehead. How i tell myself apart from different students by seeing how we dress differently like some students where uniforms while we were our own close.

Nyla first must make the long journey to the pond with her empty bucket which she said was easier than the trip back. When she heads back she must once again go along the long thorny path with a full bucket of water which is not only tiring it is also painful to get a thorn in your foot.

Brinley- Missouri 2020

2020-10-02 16:10:02 UTC

Another thing is how Salva is lucky to be going school but for people who live in the US it is very common. One example of something that we do have in common is that we both learn another language at school.

I learned that Salva can’t go to the school every day and it’s like my situation now. Salva’s reasons for not going to school and mine are different, but the situation of not going to school every day is the same. I can’t go to school every day because of the pandemic and Salva can’t go to school because he has to help his dad.

HAOKAI His culture can't let girl go to school.Boy also can't go to school everyday.They need help their family when they are too young.I think I play as same as him.Everyone like to play with friends at all.

3. Nya has to walk very far everyday just to get water for her family. It's a lot of work, but it is important for her family. I would feel a lot of pressure in this task because my family needs the water to survive. It would hard and tiring, but I would be motivated by the needs of my family.

Adalynn-Wisconsin

Everyday, Nya gets up grabs a jug and walks for hours to a watering hole to get her family water and then she carries a water jug that probably weighs 40 lbs all the way back to her village. Then I can imagine she has to do it again. If I was in her position, I don't know what I would do with myself.

Annabella - WI

Nya's life is completely different from mine. Every day she has to wake up early, walk miles to fetch water in the excruciating heat, quick eat, then do it all over again. I couldn't imagine doing that much in a day, and all for dirty water. She is the definition of strong.

I learned that Salva lives in a rural area where they raise cows for a living and at the age of 10 boys get to go to school. This is not at all what it is like here in Chicago. We get to go to school at 4 or 5 years old and there is no cows. We do hear gun shots sometimes while we are in school however.

I learned that Salva could only go to school when it rainy season.And also that he had three brothers and two sisters, his sisters couldn't go to school. The war in Sudan started because they were being forced to practice Islam. Salva's is not like mine because I've never been in a Civil War and I don't have to walk to get water. And is a little alike because I had to learn how to speak a new language.

Salva and his brothers were all able to go to school, starting when they were 10. They only get to go for part of the year, but for them that is still lucky. Girls from Slava's village can't go to school. When he isn't in school, Salva helps to take care of his fathers cattle. His brothers do to, and the resposibility increases as their age increases. His life is both similar and different from mine, because I get to go to school year round, and that is normal where I live. My siblings and I also have chores, and since I am the oldest, I have the most, and my little sister who is the youngest has the least.

Grace K - WI

2021-01-11 15:07:12 UTC

Salva wonders what will happen to him. He is also curious about where his family is, and what will happen to him. I think he will end up going on a long and hard journey to get to a refugee camp, and will face many dangers, but make it there. I don't know what will happen to his family, but I don't think they will make it. I think they would try to protect their village.

Leo P WI

Salva wants to find his family and wants to know where they are, and if they are safe. He also wants to know where he will go now that he cannot stay with the old woman anymore. And he also wants to know how the war will affect him.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? salvas life in the first chapter is not relly like mine at all, he can only go to school for a portion of the school year while i can go the whole school year. He hunts animals with his brother with a bow and arrow while i can just go get food from the store.

CSalva’s life seems very hard and misreble. Being without his family and running away from his family. Running to safty not know where his family is or even if their alive. Walking all day and sleeping on the streets where ever they stopped.

I learned that Salva's life is very hard and different from my life. Salva had to go through scary events and was parted from his family. Meanwhile i'm just an average person with an average life. His life was very misreble and sd. He didn't know what was going on and what to do. Salva's life isn't as easy as ours he has to hunt for his own food and can't go to school the whole year.

Everyday Salvas had to experience very tragic/scary events while being sepertated from his family. It also seemed like he would have been stressed out doing many chores everyday without his family being there for him. I know if I had to be in his shoes I would be anxious and sad because you don't know where or how your family is doing and they could be dead and you just never know. It is nothing like my life because thankfully I have lots of family with me and he didn't go to school for a long time and most people start at 3-5 years old.

Q3: Nya's journey for water is long and hard. It takes a lot of effort and strength for her to carry so much weight and travel so far on foot to get water for her family. Her journey is long and very painful for her. From other sites documenting people's lives as they travel to get water, most people in low-income countries who have to travel for water end up with dirty water full of unsanitary bacteria that will give them diseases. So, I'm assuming that the water Nya gets will be unsanitary and not clean. Overall, Nya walks long distances that involve painful parts to get unsanitary, bacteria filled water. I would be frustrated if I was in her place because instead of going to school or doing what I wanted to, I would have to fetch water and walk long distances to get that water. I would also be somewhat prideful, because I was trusted with such an important job.

Question 1: We learn that Salva is a very lucky person who goes to school, he learns Arabic there but at home he speaks the language of his tribe, the Dinka. His dad is very successful and respected in the vllage, and he has three brothers and two sisters. Sometimes, he would make cows out of clay to sell, and other times he would practice using bows and arrows.

Nya has an important responsibility to carry water from miles away and back to her family.
This trip seems like it would be painful because your feet would hurt after walking that much, and you would get blisters from your shoes. Plus you have to do this every day, so your feet get no break. From what is sounds like, it doesn't seem as though Nya wears shoes, though. This seems even more painful, especially the part about her digging the thorn out of her foot, and having to do that everyday!
I would feel very nervous if I had such an important responsibility because everyone is depending on you, and if you don't deliver, then everyone is going to miss out on a day's worth of something as essential as water. I would probably also feel annoyed because Ii would want someone to help me especially with something so important.

Salva's life is nothing like mine, but I do get a lot of play time. I don't have to take care of anything, I don't have to get lucky to eat dinner and I go to school all the seasons.

Question 4
You can tell the different tribes apart by the marks on their foreheads, for example Salva could tell that the woman in the barn was from his tribe so he knew that he would be safe there with her. Some way I can tell my culture from others is during my christmas time other people celebrate Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

Question 3
Nya's journey must have been hard she has to walk a really long way with a bucket on the way their on then on the way back every long way but with the water in that bucket that is going to help her family survive. Also to do it all alone is even harder. Her family is depended on that water. So it seems like the journey and the responsibility are hard.

Joemare H.

2021-01-12 05:06:04 UTC

Salva has a hard life. In the dry season, he needed to move to another place with his family and that's why he couldn't go to school during the dry season. Also he had some responsibilities, like keeping eye on the cows. In Salva's culture, they have scars on their heads to show which tribe they are from. Also in their culture, women mostly stays at home and doesn't work and Salva has many brothers and sisters which shows that there are big families in their culture which we have too.

Salva was probably wondering if his family was okay. He also was probably wondering what side the people shooting were on. Finally, he was probably wondering what was going to happen to him.

We learned that Salva is from Southern Sudan. He has three brothers and two sisters. He also has a mother and father. Salva got seperated from his family after a gunshotsound arrose. He left his school and joined his village, when they spent the night in a nearby barn, Salva soon realized he was left there, alone, as the rest of his village tribe had already awaken and moved. Salva saw an older woman who kindly offered him some food. After only knowing this woman for a couple days, Salva never wanted her to leave. The woman claimed she had to go and would be safer not being seen with a young boy. Now Salva has to try and go on his own, or try to find some other people.

The three questions that occupied Salva's thoughts were: Where are we going? Where is my family? And when will I see them again?

2021-03-12 16:54:40 UTC

Our prediction for the answer of the first question: We predict that they are going to try to go to safety, and find the safest place they can stay. Somewhere they could be comfturable in for a long period of time to keep themselves safe, and healthy.

Our predictions for the answer of the second question: Maybe his family was taken, or they decided to try and go to somewhere that they could be safe in. Somewhere away from all the commotion that was currently happening. Another prediction is that they got captured or they're hiding.

Our prediction
for the answer of the third question is that Salva may never see his family again.

Nya has to endure lots of things just to be able to help her family survive. When she gets water every day, she encounters obstacles and burdens like thorns, and evenn her little sister Akeer. Nya is strong and will do anything for her family, even if it means spending the day walking for water. If I were in the same or similar position to Nya, I would struggle with the constant responsibility. I admire Nya's courage, bravery, and determination.

Discussion Question #2:
The three questions that occupy Salva's mind are as follow: Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again?
I predict that they are going out of the country to a safe refugee camp. Part of his family died, but the others remain in Loun-Ariik. It will be a number of years before he will see them again.

Nya's Journey is that she has to go collect water multiple times a day for her and her family. She walks to a river with a large bucket to fill it with clean water to consume. We would feel tired, and even a bit frusturated if we had a responsibility as large as Nya does, as it must be a lot of work.

First of all, Nya has a lot of responsibility weighing on her shoulders. She is basically the reason why her family is alive. Twice a day for seven months she has to walk a VERY long distance to fill the water in the bucket. If I had to do that, I would be the most tired thing that you would ever see. I would still try to do it, because like I said, she is one the reasons why her family is live, so I would still try. I admire Nya for not giving up and doing it for her family.

What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

“Where am I going, where is my family, when will I see them again?” He will probably will go with the Dinka boys In the 4th chapter. To be honest I think that this is all a dream I'm not sure though. He's probably going to see them when he wakes up if it’s a dream. Some things that go through my mind when I think about this is, is this even real.

Describe and Explain Nya's Journey

Nya's journey is a terrible and grueling task that she has to complete every day. If she doesn't, her family has no water. She has to carry a bin all the way to and from the river to have access to water. After she scoops the water into the bin, She is carrying up to 50 gallons a trip. She has to carry a lot on top of her head, and she's only eleven years old.

In the first chapter we also learned about his life as he herds cows just like his older brothers. His life is very different from mine as he has to go home and help with the cattle while I go home and do nothing except for homework and stare at my phone.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey every day. A- Every day, Nya gets up in the morning and immediately sets off for a pond that is miles away from her village. She is forced to trudge through thorns in the heat of the day while carrying a large plastic container. When she reaches the pond, she drinks some water, fills up her container, and turns around to go back home. Nya does this twice a day so her family has water.

and the water might have chemicals in it to and things that we don't even know that uses it like we do that uses our water either.

Another thing that I learned is about Salva’s life is that when the dry seasons come, they have to move out of their villages and when the rainy season come, he could walk to school. No, it is not because both girls and boys go to school and we don’t have to move ever time dry seasons come.

• Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

My Answer:
Nya's journey everyday is to get water. She has the same goal everyday, to get water for her family. It can probably be really hard sometimes because of all the challenges and problems she might face, for example, the thorns. If I were her, I feel like I would rather have another job because it would be challenging. I would probably have to work very hard, making me a hardworking person.

· What we learn about Salva’s life and culture is that they are a very nice village to live in. They have the richest-water, and the V shape on there forehead means Dinka. Salva life or lifestyle isn’t like mine. Salva has to heard a cow which is the men’s job, while me/myself only have to clean and stay home so what I can persuade is that my life is more like Nya’s.

I earned that Salva was in a tribe called the Dinka tribe but the teacher in school told them Arabic language. For the three questions Salva might go to another person that is going to keep her. I think the reason her parents left because she too young. I also think Salva is going reunite with her family after the conflict. If I was in her perspective, I will be sad because you do not know when you will find somebody to help you.

Nya’s journey to get water is a tough one. She has to get up early in the morning and has to walk an hour to get water. Then she steps on thorns barefoot and pulls them out of her feet by using another thorn. I would feel tired and weak and would pass out every time I would get back home.

Nya’s everyday journey is very stressful and tiring. She walks miles and miles everyday while balancing an extremely heavy bucket of water on her head. She walks through thorns, mud, and burning sunlight all while still walking and doing an amazing job balancing a ton full of water on her head. What I would do if I had Nya’s responsibility is I would find a specific way to balance it on my head to a way it was comfortable and try to get home as fast so that I could get the job done faster and be as careful as possible.

The three questions occupying Salva’s thoughts in chapters one through three, is in chapter two where Salva questioned in his mind when the rebels came was “What are they going to do to us?” and “Where are my family?” The answers we can predict from this chapter is Salva is not going to find his family until later on, and the rebels are most likely going to take them to a base of some sort. From chapter three the question “Why can’t I go with her?” is presented when Salva was staying at a women’s barn. The answer being is going with her would be too dangerous for both of them. What would be going through my mind if I was under the same situations presented I would probably be thinking the same thing

The three questions that are repeating in Salvas head are: where are we going, where is my family, and when will I see them again?

If I were put in a similar position as Nya’s, I could not bear the amount of constant labor that I would be given. I may be adaptable, but converting my technologically advanced lifestyle to primitivity, would most-likely be the largest obstacle I would ever face. If I grew-up in Sudan, it would easily be an opposing answer, because I would be used to it. Also, the large amount of terroristic organizations and corrupt governments would cause me to have an increased anxiety-level, so much so, that I may not be able to handle it mentally. With starvation, dehydration, and illness, being a given in this poverty-filled country, I am at risk of losing my life to bodily complications extremely young. If I were granted with the chance to be in, or in contact with somebody in Sudan, maybe my views would change, but based off the information shown and the image conveyed, I will happily continue not having any relations with the country whatsoever.

Another difference is the culture, he is having to have one specific religion.

It can be predicted that they are going to a safehouse, and his family may have already been there, lastly he might see his family as he reaches “The Bush”. Under these circumstances, the questions that might be going through my head are: Are we there yet? Will I ever see my dad again? and Where am I?

They have to move to get water when it gets very hot. His sister’s stay home to learn how to work around the house, and his brother’s go to school also.

They also must carry water to shower, drink, and wash clothes. While for us, we have water everywhere, from stores to using water to shower, drink, or wash with. Also our government is different. In Africa they are going to war because of land, while here in the U.S we have land everywhere and we aren't against anyone.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey every day.

Nya's journey is to go get water for her and her family. Nya also has a painful and hot journey. On her way to get water, Nya gets a splenter in her foot. And she also travels for miles just to get water for her and family. If I had the same responsibility Nya has, I would fell tired and I would be hot and thristy.

What do we learn about Salvas life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like yours?
In the first chapter we learn that Salva is very lucky because most kids in his culture do not get the chance to go to school but he goes to school we also learn that Salva does not like to go to school he would rather be back home helping his dad. So there for no his culture is not like my culture most kids go to school in my culture.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey every day. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

On Nya's journey she has to travel a long miles to get 5 gallons of water for her family in her journey they would fight for the water and were she go get the water she would have to step on thorns if i would be like NYA i would feel real sad because i would walk fare away from home to get 5 gallons of and because it would be hard and it would be something real tried.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey every day?

Nya's journey every day was to try and make it home on time before dark and gather as much water as possible for her family. She had to worry about simple things that are impossible to avoid. She had to worry about heat, water, and thorns. Nya’s journey also included carrying a huge bucket of water over her head to carry back home. After, she would have to take more than one trip to bring enough water.

Describe and explain Nya's journey every day?

Nya’s journey can be described as hard and unpleasant for her, but let me give you a further explanation of what I mean by that. Nya’s journey starts with her waking up in the morning and getting the container for water. Then Nya begins to walk miles to go get the water through the hard sandy ground with big prickly thorns for her family. So that means she also has less time to play and go to school. If I had to get water for my family I would feel determined to get it for my family and it would also be unpleasant for me. Since I would be walking through the hard sandy ground with big prickly thorns.

KeShawn Hopkins -Arkansas

How would you be coping, especially at the end of chapter two?

I would be very sad and afraid not knowing where my family was, was my family alright, are would I ever see my family again.

What do we learn about Salva's life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

Salva's Life and culture is the opposite of my life and my culture. He has to search for water and provide supplies such as food. Salva has a different government and they have to go to war for land and good search of water. If I was Salva I would want to work really hard to show responsibility. They also have to learn a different language because of their religion.

The things that we learn about Salva’s life in the first chapter is that he is part of a tribe called Dinka. Salva also travels to get water for his family like Nya. He also goes to school and is a very smart boy. Salva's life isn’t anything alike mine, I go to school, but I don’t travel to get water like him.

Lauren - Arkansas

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?
Nya has to walk at least 11 miles everyday just to find her and her family water. It would be hard knowing that you have to get your family water as fast as you can or else they would get dehydrated.

Rihanna- Arkansas

2021-04-22 01:23:35 UTC

Describe and explain Nya's journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her.

Nya's journey is very hard, she walks eight hours from her house and back to her house to get water, that also make them sick. I feel bad and sad because I know that is a lot of responsibility to do at a young age.

Aliah- SC

2021-04-22 15:42:14 UTC

If I had the same responsibility as Nya, I would feel overwhelmed and annoyed. Taking jugs back and forth from the lake would make me upset and tired. When I put that book over my head, my muscles got very tired. For her age she has a lot of work she has to have done in a certain time frame. I know I could not do all of that by myself. With the war going on in Sudan I would be scared to go outside and leave my house. I appreciate Nya working so hard it’s just not for me.

James-SC

Salva had a mom and a dad, three brothers and two sisters. He went to school and when he went home he would take care of his cattle. Although his cattle didn't need much attention so he spent his time making clay moddles of cows.

His culture is like mine because I go to school and when I get home I'll do some chores then just play around and then go to sports.

1. I think that salvas life is very difficult and hard and I don't think that I could do that every single day. It is very different from my life 100%
2. I think that the questions that are going through his mind are, where is my family, where will I go, and will I survive. The answers to those are, I don't think that his family is alive anymore, He will find a place, he will survive. If I where in his position I would be thinking the exact same things.
3. Naya has to walk very far everyday and get water this could take her all day long, she gets hurt most of the time and has to drink very dirty water.I would feel so exhausted If I where her.
4. Each of them have different scar patterns on their forehead to tell them apart from each other.

2.I'd say the 3 questions would be where is my family and is my family alive. And he also is wondering how he is supposed to stay alive and who he's supposed to live with and care for.
3. I would feel like my family's survival kind of relies on me.
4. Everyone kind of has as scar or marking on his face.

The questions going through Salva's mind are:
Where is my family?
What will happen to them?
And when will I see them.
Those are probably the same thoughts that would be going through my head too. I think his parents are fine and trying to find Salva. I think that again, they will be fine, and finally I think she will finally see them again towards the end of the book.

Alex - MO

ashanley2 — 2021-05-18 19:08:38 UTC

If I had an essential job like Nya to do every day, I would probably go insane. Just the walk there can't be easy because it is so far away and there are lots of thorns on the path that stick into her feet. But the walk back must be at least 10 times harder because whatever she is carrying in full of water plus the thorns stabbing her feet.

Alex - MO

ashanley2 — 2021-05-18 19:10:39 UTC

Different tribes tell themselves apart by different markings on their face. People nowadays tell each other apart by skin color, accents, religion, etc.

Keaton MO

2021-05-18 19:22:38 UTC

Nya has to travel long distances to get water for the family. She doesn't have shoes so it hurts her feet.

Ashlyn P

2021-05-18 20:56:29 UTC

Salva distinguished the Dinka tribe from the Nuer tribe is the v shaped scars on the DInka's foreheads "two of the men had patterns again-the kind hat were given to the boys in Salv's village as part of the ritual of becomeing a man. these people were Dinka too!"

Yesenia

How different tribes tell eachother a part is by the marking's on one anothers bodies.

At a young age around 8 years old the tribe would grab sharp object and cut along the scalp of the child's head and that's how they tribe would be able to tell who is from their tribe

Julia

2021-09-29 12:52:56 UTC

Everyday Nya has to walk to a pond to collect dirty water. She has to then carry it all the way back to her house. She only has a little time to eat before she has to walk all the way back. Going back and fourth takes the entire day. If I had to do that everyday I would feel overwhelmed by the responsibility, but I would also be proud that I was helping my family.

Grayson Darby

2021-09-30 12:52:44 UTC

Every Single day nya has to walk to the dirty Pond and get dirty water so they can drink it, She gets the water to drink it and not get dehydrated but dirty water can keep you dehydrated. If I had to do that for a living then i would at least go to a cleaner spot and maybe even heat it up, i would feel like i could not do that for a week.

i learned that salva live's a very harsh and difficult life. thankfully i do not relate to this because i get to see my family every. image not being able to go home because of an emergency.

The things that we have learned about Salva's life is he goes to school, he has a caring family and he cares for his family. The 3 questions that occupy his thoughts are the 1st one, 2nd one and the 4th one. For the 3rd question if I had job like hers, I would feel like my life is unfair. The reason why is that everybody elses jobs are easier. For the 4th question You tell different tribes apart by accents, different languages, and different skin colours.

He spoke dinka and started school at the age of ten they loved to play at school and as you got older you had to watch more cows the boys went to school while girls learned how to house keep the southern sudan's are fighting northern sudan for freedom of religion this is not like my culture

Kinley - Missouri

2022-04-06 16:24:21 UTC

I learn that Salva used to live in Dinka tribe. Salva goes to school but not for the whole year. Salva’s dad raised many heads of cattle and was the village’s judge. Salva has two older brothers and a younger brother and two sisters. Salva lives during the Sudanese war and his village is getting attacked so he has to run away from his home.

Cambrie Missouri

Evan - Missouri

2022-04-06 16:26:43 UTC

What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

Where is my family?
When will I see them?
Where are we going?
I think I would have the exact same questions as him if that was me.

Kinley - Missouri

2022-04-06 16:28:48 UTC

3. Nya’s journey is waking up before dawn and carrying a big empty container while walking in pure heat for hours to find water. She has to face the thorns and carrying the jug back home with water weighing her down. I would feel exhausted but remember to be grateful.

2022-04-06 16:30:59 UTC

where are we going? Where is my family? When will i see them again? these are the questions in Slava's head. I think his going to go to the refugee camp. his family is still at the village maybe just running away and I think that Slava won’t see his family like for at least 20 years probably. If I was in that situation I probably wouldnt have a thought in my head other than where am i going right now

Where is my family?

Evan - Missouri

2022-04-06 16:32:22 UTC

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Everyday Nya has to wake up early and walk forever to go get dirty water. She gets baked by the sun the way there and the way back. She also has to face thorns. But on the way back she has to carry the container of water which might take even longer. By the time she gets back it's already afternoon.
I feel like I would be nervous that I would take to long or being scared i might drop it from the heat of the sun.

Hannah - Missouri

2022-04-06 16:33:01 UTC

The questions going on through his head were : Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again? I think he is going to Kenya and I think he will see his family again just when he gets there. I would be scared and I would be asking the same questions.

Alaina Missouri

2022-04-06 16:34:32 UTC

Nya's journey to get water for her family is almost painful. because she has to walk around thorns and in the hot sun and getting back home by noon.

If I had a responsibility like Nya I would feel empty at the end of the day and not want to do anything else I would also feel bad if it meant I had to miss school.

How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures?

The tribes tell each other apart by putting paint on their faces. Well... Usually, I don't look very much like people of other cultures, but our hair is probably different and our face features our different.

How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures?

They tell each other apart by how they dress and their scar patterns. Other people can tell me apart by my actions and my language or what I wear

The tribes can tell each other apart by painting on there faces. I can tell myself apart because i have long blond hair and it is always in a pony tail. I also am kinda tall but not really

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

Salva's life is so different because going to school for us is such a regular thing. We usually don't have to worry about someone shooting outside my school, but it could happen.

3. Every day Nya gets up early to go get water for her family. She says that the journey going there is easier, because she has no heavy water to carry with her, but the journey back is harder because she has water with her. Even though the journey to the water is easier, she still has to face tough things on the path like thorns and heat.
If I were in her situation I would probably be tired and stressed all the time, I would also be upset about missing school.

Celina - Missouri

2022-04-06 23:20:58 UTC

The three questions going through his mind are:

Where are we going?
Where is my family?

When will I see them again?

I feel like they're going somewhere where they’ll be safe, and he will see his family again. Eventually. Soon, after the war, after his journey. I feel like I would be thinking the same things too, and worrying after what happened.

Jace, Missouri

2022-04-07 00:16:23 UTC

Describe and explain Nya’s journey every day. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

The responsibilities that Nya had was so huge. I would feel so fatigued at the end! If I really loved school, I wouldn't want to miss it.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

Salva has siblings. There is war all around him. He doesn't have clean water. His life is similar to mine because he goes to school, plays in the yard and does chores.

Kaia-Missouri

2022-04-07 03:44:35 UTC

where are they going? Where is my family? Will i every see them again? I think they might be going to a refuge camp or somewhere safe,his family might be trapped in the middle of the war or have fled a different way,he probably won’t see his family for at least a few years.if i was in his situation i would be to scared/shocked to wonder where we were going i mean i would wonder but that wouldn’t be something i always think, i would be worried about my family and what happened to them are they dead or alive basically are they ok .

Izzy Missouri

2022-04-07 15:33:54 UTC

I think he is going to a refugee camp. I think his family is back in the village and I think some of them died but some of them are still alive. I think he will see them at the refugee camp but not all of them. I would just freeze or keep running until i cant run any more.

Jace, Missouri

2022-04-08 15:44:47 UTC

Why doesn’t the group want Salva along? How do you feel about the fact that the group is willing to isolate and reject him?

The group does not want Salva to come along because they just see Salva as a kid and that he will just slow them down. I feel very angry and am confused why they shouldn't let him come along. So he's a kid... That does not mean you shouldn't take him along! You would rather not be slowed down by a kid that probably wouldn't slow you down than let the kid rome around South Sudan when there is a was going on!?

Izzy Missouri

2022-04-08 15:54:06 UTC

They say he is a child and he’ll just slow them down. He is another mouth to feed and it’s already hard enough. He is to young to do and any real work, and that he is no use to them.

Nya:

· Describe and explain Nya’s journey every day.

Every day Nya travels to a pond and back, twice. This trip takes up Nya’s whole day.

· How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

I would be very stressed out and would probably never forgive myself if something happened because I couldn’t get water in time.

Salva:

· What do you know about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

We know from the first chapter that girls in Salva’s village do not go to school.

This is not similar to my life because I am a girl I go to school.

· What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions.

Where are we going? - We are going to a rebel camp.

Where is my family? – They are still in the village?

When will I see them again? Never

· What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

- What’s going on?

- Are we going to survive this?

- I want my family!

Torrance, South Carolina

2022-05-04 12:56:54 UTC

1: Nya has to walk to a pond very far away from her home and then back home and hope that no wild animals end up killing her.
2: I would feel nervous because if I took too long one day it would be even longer without water and the constant thought of animals possibly killing me.

3: Salva and his classmates are learning how to speak Arabic which Salva knows how to speak. In present times we can learn how to speak different languages.

4: Where are we going, where is my family, and when will I see my family again

5:Will I be ok, where are they going, what's happening.

Layla, South Carolina

2022-05-04 15:44:31 UTC

1: She wakes up, eats, then goes on for many miles to get water. When she comes home, from getting the water, she eats a bowl of porridge then gets the bucket, walks back to the pond to get more water. When she gets home from the second trip, she goes to sleep and the next day is repeated.

2: I would feel stressed, because I would have to walk several miles a day to get just a few gallons of water at a time.

3: No, it is not anything like my culture because we don't have "V's" on our foreheads.

4: 1- where is my family?
2- where are we going?
3-when will I see my family again?

Jayden Sullivan- South Carolina
Q1 Describe and explain Nya’s journey every day. Nya’s journey was an extremely hard walk to find water that is not even clean. Plus, to add to this there are predators like lions.
Q2 How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? I would feel overwhelmed and exhausted of having this much responsibility as Nya.
Q3 What do we learn about Salva’s life culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? Salva had to live in such a hot environment. Also have to deal with predators. Her life does not relate to mine.
Q4 What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answer to those questions. Why are they doing this? Where do I hide? I have to leave.
Q5
What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances. I would definetly be scared and want to go some where far.

Q1: She has to walk for miles just to get a little bit of water for her family. Then she has to go back with the jug full of water on her head and if she spills it she has to go all the way back.

Q2: I would probably be very tired and scared of what could happen on the journey back, and I would probably crack under the responsibility of the job.

Q3: He was learning Arabic in school and he is a part of the Dinka tribe.

Q4: Where is my family? Where are we going? When will I see my family again?

Q5: I would probably be very worried for my family and I. Also, I would be very scared of the possibilities that could happen.

Marley Bradley SC 1. During Nya’s journey, she goes to the closest camp to get water and to get their little sister better 2. I would feel a little stressed because it is a lot of responsibilities. 3. Salva’s life is hard because he must run away from the war and his life is not anything like mine. When am I going to see my family? When’s the war going to end? Did my friend just die? Stress because it a lot of things going on in his life.

1. Nya would wake up, walk to the lake, walk back home , eat, walk back to the lake, come home and sleep.

2. I would feel tired.

4.
Why did they leave me
Are my family safe
Where's my family

5.
I would wonder where my family is
Will I get out safe?
Will I see my family again?

Bj, south Carolina

2022-05-10 12:20:45 UTC

1. Nya's journey was her going back and forth from a pond and her house. In her journey there were thorns, animals, and stress
2. i would be so mad because i would have to walk a long way and come back with a buck et of water on her head so i would say i would not be happy

3. its nothing like my life because there's no war going on in my town and i'm not running way from it so my life is noting like salva's

4."Where are we going, Where is my family, and When will I see them again." "Where are we going, Where is my family, and When will I see them again." "Where are we going, Where is my family, and When will I see them again."

5. i would feel as like what's the point of traveling the war is everywhere and i would be scared

1. Nya had to walk back and forth everyday to get water for her family
2. Stress and Tired
Salva
3. We know Salva is part of the Dinka
4.Will I see them again?
- What do I do without them
- Are they save?
- Will we survive?

5. Where are we going
-Are they okay

Yiraisa- South Carolina

2022-05-11 02:29:49 UTC

1. Nya's journey was, hard and dangerous since she had to walk far miles back and forth to get water for her family that wasn't even cleaned properly.

2. I would honestly feel like it would be to much of a responsibility. I would just give up and let myself die rather than stay alive and suffer.

3. We learn that he is from a dinka tribe and must walk far to get home. Salva's life is nothing related to mine.

4. *Where is my family? I think his family is in hiding.
* Where are we going to end up? I think we are going to end up somewhere in Ehiopia.
* When will I see my family ? I think they will see them later in the book.

5. Are me and my family going to be ok, and probably the same thoughts as Salva.

1. Salva's life and culture is different from mine, for example he thinks hes lucky because he gets to walk to school. Salva doesn't have to deal with it because separated from his family.

2. he wonders where he is going, where is his family and when will he will he see them again.

3. Nya has long walks to a pond to get water that wasn't even clean.

4. the tribes tell themselves apart with patterns on their forehead.

1. Salva's life and culture differs from mine in the sense that his country was at war, where as my country isn't, Salva also had school outside where as I have school inside a building, Salva also had to walk to school and drink dirty water where as I ride to school by bus and drink water through a filter that cleans it.

2. Salva wonders where his family is and if he will ever see them again and where he's going.

3. Nya had to walk a long ways away from their house just to fetch dirty water.

4. Tribes tell themselves apart by the different markings on their face

2. he is worried that he is lost and is in the wrong place and not able to see his family

4. they put marking on there for head for there tribs with different markings.

2022-06-14 14:20:16 UTC

The group does not want Salva along because the author stated, "He is a child, he will slow us down." "Another mouth to feed? it's already hard enough to find food". I feel like Salva is feeling sad and of course he feels excluded from his own tribe.

it was expected that Naya would go to pond every. She walked a long way to get water for her family. The one thing that dictates my life is water

B

i belive salva is or is not doing a good job learning to survive becuase wild anature.

Naya like the lake life because she ws closer to water but she ould not bring most of her things . at the pond was nayas home which was far from water

Karmen woods summer academy

2022-06-16 14:57:47 UTC

1. if salva were older and stronger would he have shared his water? my answer is yes because he would have known if it was the right desicion or not and he would most likely help someone else

2. I belive uncle wants to go back and fight in the war because he wants do be strong for salva and so he can see there family again.

3. The groups attitude towards salva changed because Uncle died. And he was too young and small. i belive salva will stop whining so much and stop relying on other people for food and water.

4. Salva rememberswhat uncle said that his family was gone. they had been killed by bullets or bombs or starvation or sickness the memory of his family is how salva survived alone in camp. and the memory of how uncle helped him during the first day in the desert taking step by step one step at a time. salva knew he could get through the camp in the same way.

2. in Salva's mind he is thinking about what is he going to do how will he survive and if his family is part of the group of people. and if I were in his place I would be wondering how I would survive

3. nya has a very hard journey every day and if I had such a big responsibility I would be super nervous

4. they tell they are from different tribes by the mark on their head and I have no way of knowing how another student's culture other then asking

Part 1~ Discussion Questions Kaelyn Maya Warwick WA

2022-09-22 20:59:34 UTC

In the first chapter of A Long Walk to Water, we learn that Salva lives in Africa, and is part of the Dinka Tribe. He also has many brothers and sisters because his father has many wives. Salva’s life is a lot like mine, because he goes to school and has siblings. Although, I don’t think my father has more than one wife.

The three questions that occupy Salva’s thoughts are 1. Where are we going? 2. Where is my family? 3. When will I see my family again?

Nya’s journey each day is a tiring, long walk to the watering hole where she collects dirty water that her family can boil and drink. If I were Nya in this situation, I would keep reminding myself that I needed to collect as much water as I could carry to keep my family alive.

The tribes tell themselves apart from other by getting their heads carved in their tribes’ symbol.

We learn that Salva lives in Africa with his mom dad and all his siblings. Though he doesn't go to school until hes 10 he was to work very hard herding cows and working with his family. His life is not like mine because I do not have to walk that long to school. I also do not have to her cows like Salva.

The 3 questions that go through Salva's mind are "Where am I going", "Where is my family" and "when will I see them again". If I was in the same situation, I would probably run. Just run. And think "well this sucks" and "I shouldn't have tried to sneak into that all-boys school" and also I might quietly walk back to the village, so I wouldn't have to have a book written about me.

2:The three questions that occupy Salva's mind are, Where are we going? Where is my family? When will i see them again?

3: Nya walks to get water everyday, I would get a little tired of this because walking through spiky bushes and having to carry heavy water on your head back would get tiring.

4: Some ways you can tell the tribes apart is their scars on their foreheads, i can sometimes tell my cultures are different then my peers is maybe they speak a different language.

Every day, Nya has to walk miles barefoot to get water. It is very hot where she lives, and the journey is grueling and long. If I had the same responsibilities as her, I would put a fish in the gourd and then we would have a scrumptious meal. MMMMMM fish. MMMMMMM. What I mean by the gourd, is the little one that she drinks out of, not the big one. No fishies on her head. I am not being all silly and goofy, I am dead serious.

Nya' s journey includes walking for half of the morning. She has to walk over many thorns to find water. After she fills up her plastic container, she has to carry it on her head all the way home.
If I had the same responsibility as Nya, I would probably complain about it all day until I eventually started walking, and then I would probably be home by noon the next day.

In the first chapter I learned that Salva has 3 brothers and 2 sisters and he lives in a pretty wealthy family. As he was at school he heard a gun shot and a war had started 2 years early. In the second chapter we see Salva walking with people surrounding him. The group of people kept walking until it was dark and in the morning they kept walking. The men were split up from everyone else and went to fight while the other people kept walking. They stopped at a barn to sleep. When Salva woke up everyone was gone. In the third chaper we are with Salva when he realizes that everyone had left him. In the distance he spotted an old lady sitting in a chair. With the painting on her face he could tell she was part of his tribe. He approached her with nerves to find that she was quite nice. After the fourth day of him staying with her she told him that she was leaving and he could not go with her. As she walked away he went towards the barn wondering what he was going to do next. When he sat down on a hay stack he heard voices. He looked out to see some people walking near the barn. On their faces was a V which indicated that they were a part of his tribe. I don't relate to this because I have never been in a war.

Matthew Tinsley Washington

2022-09-23 04:14:23 UTC

In the book's first chapter, I noticed that Salva lived in a wealthy family with many siblings. When Salva was at school there was a loud bang and a gunshot. There was a war going on and they came to Salvas village. In chapter 2 we see Salva walking with a group of people, the people were split into men and then everyone else walked until dark when they came upon a barn when Salva woke up everyone was gone. In the third chapter of the book, Salva notices that everyone is gone he walks outside the barn and notices an old lady sitting outside her house when he sees the painting on her face he knew she was from his tribe the southern part. He went up to her he found out that the lady was really nice to him he stayed there in the barn and helped out after being there for four days and the water in the pond was getting low the old lady told him that she was leaving to go somewhere for the winter where there was water, he was shocked he didn't know what to do because she said he couldn't go with her when she left he went to the barn scared not knowing what to do when he heard voices outside he was scared when he looked at there faces he noticed that the same painting from his tribe was on there faces which was a v. I don't relate to this because I have never been separated from my family and have never been in a war.

Emery Clegg the Washingtonian from Washington "The Evergreen State"

Salva's life is not that similar to mine because he ends up stuck in the middle of a war, and separated from his family which has not happened to me (yet...). Also, it is in Sudan, and there isn't a lot of water of food around which is not to similar to where I live. Another difference is that he has a facial tattoo (kind of) that is used as an identification.

1)What do we learn about salva’s life and culture from the first chapter?Is is anything like your own?
Salva’s life very complicated and unfair because he could not attend school the whole year because of dry seasons and in rainy days he had to walk to school which was half an hour away from his home. He had a very successful father even had three brothers and two sisters.But Salva’s culture was very different from the culture we have for example his father could have more than one wife or his sisters could not attend school because they have to learn how to be housewives.
2) what are three questions that occupy salva’s thought? predict the answers to those questions?
1. where are we going?
I think they are going to a place that are no war’s
2. where are my parents?
Maybe his parents are still at there house
3. when will I see them again?
I think he will see his parents when he goes back home
3)Describe Nya’s journey everyday.How see you if you had such an essential responsibility like her?
Nya’s journey look’s like its very hard has difficult job’s to do everyday.
4)How two different tribes tell them self apart from each other? what are some ways to tell your selves apart from students of other cultures?
Some ways to tell yourselves apart from students of other cultures is for example clothing,food, The ways of how we look.

Salva lived in Sudan with his family.He had a primitave culture because, hes father had more than one wife, his sisters could not go to school. Once he was in school, he heard gun shots, and war had just started.

Where is his family? What are they going to do to Salva? Where is Salva gonna go? His family is probally worried about him.

Nya was a girl came later in the book. She had to walk everyday with shoes covered in mud. I would feel so sad if i were in her situation.

1.Salva has a lot of fun with his friends hunting down birds and cooking them on the fire. Its obvious that the children in the place where Salva is are trained to be more brave by their culture .

2.Salva's thoughts were occupied with going back to herd cattle, Salva was also thinking about hunting down animals with his friends.

3. If I was in Nya's place I would be happy but also sad cause I wouldn't have an education.

4.You can tell if another person is from a different culture or tribe if they speak a different language, the food they eat and their behavior according to culture.

I learned that Slava's culture was very primitive and his dad had more than 1 wife! They also still spoke the language of the Dinka tribe. Salva hunted animals for playing. He had 2 brothers and 2 sisters. I don't think we have anything in common.
What are they going to do to us? Help him find his family.

Where is my family? With a tribe.

When will I see them again?After they arrive to the water.

I think Nya's journey and everyday life is hard because she does not have many resources. She gets Hurt doing jobs and carrying heavy containers. I would feel responsible but tired doing hard work everyday.
Different languages, clothing, culture and lifestyle. My language and differences make me different from others.

1.Salva came from Dinka tribe. I can say that his culture must be very patriarcal. Men there are allowed to have more than 1 wife and also teaches little boys to hunt and throw arrows.One thing that i noticed is that his sisters were not allowed to go to school. Luckily that is nothing like my culture nowadays.

2.Where are we going?
Where is my family?
When will i see them again?.

3. Nya is an 11 year old girl who walks 8 hours to the fetch water from the pound but in her way there she got hurt because the road was challenging and difficult. If i was her i would feel tired of going there everyday and carry heavy buckets of water.

4.The way that these tribes could be told apart from each other are the marks or the symbols on their forehead.The way that someone can tell me apart from others is our language and culture.

1- What do we learn about Salvas life and the culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?
- He lived in Sudan.
- Salva spoke the language of his tribe Dinka and also Arabic.
- he was a good student even if he could only go to school during certain seasons.
- He was born in a big and wealthy family.
- More than one wife.
-A really primitive culture.
- They hunted.
- No its not like any thing i have been through.
2- What three question occupy Salvas thoughts? Predict the answers of those question? What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?
- Where are we going - We are going to France.
- Where is my family - Hidden in a dark forest.
-When will i see them again - After 20 years.
3- Describe and explain Nya's journey every day. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?
- Her journey is very difficult and full of challenges because every day she had to walk 8 km bare foot and had to walk over thorns to get to the dirty pond. She had to carry the water container on top of her head and walk all the way back home.
if i had to do that every day i would get tired from the first hour and it would make me feel overwhelmed.
4- How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures?
- They can tell apart different tribes from marks and symbols on their for head. I can tell myself apart by my language, tradition but not anything physical.

1.We learn that Salva's culture is very primitive. Salva is a very good student but he can't go to school when it's raining because his house is far from the school. When he doesn't go no one cares about his attendance, so they can miss school when ever they want! Also the men in their country can marry more than once!
2.-Where are we going?- Probably to another country.
-Where is my family?-Maybe they died?
-When will I see them again?-Maybe on the journey they will meet again.
3.Nya has big responsibilities. First of all, every day she has to walk for a very long time to get water for her family. Second of all, she sometimes has to take care of her baby brother. If I had such big duties I would be paranoid every second, because every one would be counting on ME to get the water.
4.Different tribes tell themselves from the stripes on their faces. These stripes could also be to recognize your people in war. I can tell my self apart from others by the way I dress and my language.

Will I ever see my family again?

3. Nya has a big responsibility .
She spends her time walking to get water for her family.I would be happy to help my family but also sad because i would not have education.

1. We learn that Salva's life and culture are very simple. There are not a lot of machines or complicated things like my life.

2.

- Where is my family?
Most likely traveling or lost, like Salva.

- What is going to happen to me?
I think he will survive but will learn what it takes to survive.

-Will I see my family again?
He might not see them ever again. It's q very big world, and they don't have phones to communicate.

3. Nya's journey is long and rough. It takes her a long time just to get some water for her family. I would be very proud if I had this responsibility. My family trusted me to do the job, so I would do it the best I could.

4. The two tribes tell each other apart because of scar marks on their faces. I tell myself apart from other cultures by my looks and traditions.

Salva is lucky to be able to go to school. His father is successful, and works as a village judge. Salva's three brothers go to school, but his two sisters don't—instead, they stay home and learn “how to keep house.ome and learn “how to keep house.

R. Coomes, SC

I can relate to Salva, because I would be thinking the exact same things while trying to be calm. It would be extremely hard to stay calm and focus on your own survival without even knowing where any of your family is.

R. Coomes SC

2023-05-23 14:30:28 UTC

I can relate to Salva because he stays calm during the situation and tries his best to hold it together. He focuses on finding his family and his survival which would be really hard with having no idea where any of your family is.

Nyas journey every day was to walk miles for hours in the heat with thorns and stuff just to get a gallon of water. If i were nya id feel exhausted.

B. Lopez, SC

2023-05-23 15:13:00 UTC

Nya journey everyday is caring a gallon of water on her head for miles is a responsibility I would do to get water for my family. Nya clearly is responsible since she retrieves water daily for her family without complaining even though it is a long walk

J.Huff, SC

2023-05-23 15:33:15 UTC

1. If I was in NYA's Journey's every day I would carry a jug with her

2. I would feel good about I will have to help her

K. Williamson, SC

2023-05-23 18:44:00 UTC

Nya's journey every day is tiring. She barely has food or water, and doesn't get break because she has to be back in time to give the water to her parents.

I would feel pretty bad because I would be thirsty, hungry, sleep deprived, and my feet would have so many splinters and cuts because I wouldn't have shoes to wear.

A. Adkins, SC

2023-05-23 18:46:09 UTC

M. Hall, SC

2023-05-23 19:45:52 UTC

Nya’s journey is very hard. It takes Nya half a day to go and come back with the water if all goes well. She also has to deal with thorns. If I was in Nya’s shoes I would feel rushed and scared.

L. Cooke, SC

2023-05-24 12:01:32 UTC

If I were to explain Nya's journey would say that, it is very hard and painful, because, Nya hast to carry a heavy thing of water above her head every morning to noon. Also, Nya might be barefoot and she walks on thorns every day. So, if I was Nya and have to do a big responsibility like that, I would ne in so much pain and be really tired because, I would have a big thing to carry back and fourth everyday. Even, the reason why it would be painful is that, I might be barefoot and have no shoes and be walking on thorns. Finally, we also have a daunt on are head so the heavy bucket wont hurt are head.

C. Lingat, SC

2023-05-24 16:01:59 UTC

Nya has to walk a long way to get water, then walk all the way back. Nya has to endure heat, time, and thorns.
I would feel very pressured. Such a task would be very difficult, but it would be essential for my family's survival.

J. Warren, SC

2023-05-24 16:06:09 UTC

Nya has to deal with a lot during her day to day life. Nya’s day usually consists of her walking miles each day to a pond to gather water to support her and her family. This walk typically last from morning till noon with multiple trips from the pond and back to her home. During her walks, she has to deal with the struggle of heat, time, and thorns. I would feel as though I would have a lot of pressure on me to provide for my family, if I were Nya.

K.Carlisle, SC

2023-05-24 16:13:31 UTC

Nya’s life is very hard she has to wake up early in the morning to she has to get water for her family so they don’t die. She would take a long time and I would hate to be in a stressful situation like that with everyone relying on me. Also, I would be scared because what if I let them down.

R. Glover, SC

2023-05-24 16:14:00 UTC

Every day Nya has to walk through different terrains some being really rocky and uncomfortable and some being thorny and dry etc. She does this so she can support her family by carrying water on her head back and forth through these terrains to get to a well/lake and back to her house. This is a very big responsibility especially for a 11-year-old. If I had this responsibility I would be extremely cautious 24/7 about dropping the water or stepping on a thorn etc.

K.Sikes

2023-05-24 16:14:00 UTC

| Nya has to walk for half the morning to a pond spend the rest of the morning walking back she then eats lunch and spends the rest of the day doing the same thing. If I were Nya I would be stressed with such a big task if I fail then my family might perish if I would be scared to have a cold.

J. Foster, SC

2023-05-24 16:16:47 UTC

1. In chapter 1, we learn that Salvas village is being attacked by the rebels. The rebels came to take the boys to fight the government. The rebels are fighting the government because the government wants everyone to convert to Islam but the rebels don’t want to. Salvas home life was fun as he described it. He would help herd cattle and do outside chores. He also went to school. The woman in his family didn’t go to school. They stayed home to clean, cook and walk to get water. His life is very different from mine. Our only similarity is we both go to school.

2. The 3 questions occupying his mind were “Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again?” My prediction for these questions is he’s probably going somewhere far away from the war. I believe his family is alive hiding or walking to someplace safe. It could be a really long time till he sees his family again. Only time will tell. If I was in his position I would be scared and sad that I couldn’t find my family. I would also be wondering where they are. Most of all I would be terrified that there was a war going on.

B. Yates, SC

2023-05-24 17:03:44 UTC

Nya’s journey is a difficult one. She must walk for three days to find the watering hole, through heat, limited time, and thorns. She must do all of this to keep herself and her family alive. If I were in this situation, I’d be both cautious and upset. I know the trip there and back is a stressful one, not to mention how potentially tiring it is.

2023-05-24 17:15:21 UTC

I honestly can’t even imagine having to do what Nya and the other women have to do. Nya has to walk through heat, thorns, and many other obstacles. Nya works so much harder than me, even though I’m older than her. I’m so glad I have the things I do. Nya also has to help take care of her siblings and help her mom. Although I also take care of my siblings and clean with my mom, Nya has to work so hard, for everyone in her family.

J. Sanders, SC

1. I learn the he is very intelligent and curious of the things around him. And i know that his life is nothing like mine because he needs to do things to survive and he is in a war. 2. where is my family will I see them again were are we going. my mind would be thinking the same thing that Salva thinks like were are my family.

D. Wimberly, SC

2023-05-24 18:43:15 UTC

Nya would have to go to the pond and back with gallons of water on her head. I would feel very tired everyday carrying gallons of water on my head to bring some water back for my family everyday for us to survive.

G. Gardner SC

2023-05-24 18:45:17 UTC

Nya has to walk through thorns mud and other obstacles to get to water and he trip takes half of the morning and back takes the other half the she gets home, eats and she has to do it again If i had an responsible like that i would not be able to do it because I can not walk that long.

S. Medrano, SC

2023-05-24 18:51:59 UTC

Nya's journey is very difficult walking very high temperatures every single day. Nya is a very hard working little girl. If I had to have gallons of water in my head I would be tired in the first 5 minutes but I would do it if it were for my family.

G. Smith, SC

2023-05-24 20:48:20 UTC

Nya’s journey every day is to go get water from the pond and carry it on her head, while bringing it back to her family. If I had such an essential responsibility like her, I would be tired and proud of myself. I would be tired from carrying water back and forth every on a long walk every day because it could drain my energy and it would not be easy doing that. I would feel proud of myself everyday knowing that I am helping out and pushing through the struggles.

A. Vigilant, SC

2023-05-25 19:11:22 UTC

Nya’s journey everyday is to travel to a pond and gather water for her family. She must watch out for thorns, the heat, and more. If I were in Nya’s place, I would be nervous ad in fear of failing. If I were to fail, my whole family would be endangered. She has to carry the water and try to take as much as she can.

K. Hair, SC

2023-05-26 01:06:41 UTC

Nya's journey is long, hard, and painful. Nya had to go through this journey every day. She does to get water for her family, she has to stay cool while traveling half the day in the hot sun. If I was in Nya's situation and had a essential responsibility, I would feel nervous and anxious about making that long journey to get water in the blistering sun, walking half the day there and back for my family. Furthermore I would be scared of getting a horrible disease from drinking the dirty water, not only that, my arms and head would hurt from pulling and balancing the gourd on my head and arms.

C.Santoyo, SC

2023-05-26 12:51:13 UTC

Nya's journey everyday is harsh but comes with a lot of responsibility. For example, Nya has to carry water to her family daily. Which means her parents trust her a lot to let her go to get water. She also has to find a way to stay cool and watch out for thorns. If I were Nya I would be worried for me and my family due to the war between the Dinka and the Nuer tribe. Meaning I could come home any day just to find out my family has been injured.

T. Washington, SC

2023-05-26 12:51:29 UTC

Nya's journey was hard and took half the morning to complete the Nya would have to be weary of the heat time and thorns on her journey. And on top of that Nya drinks the dirty water as soon as she gets to the pond meanwhile then pong is probably only ankle deep. If was in her shoes I would be feeling lots of pressure because if I didn't bring any water home my family would be mad and we wouldn't survive.

2023-05-26 14:19:38 UTC

We learn that Salva enjoys his walk home and loves his family, we also learn that there is a war happening at he moment. Salva's government is also currently trying to change his language which is apart of his culture.

Where are we going, where is my family, and when will I see them again? These are the three questions that occupy Salva's mind as he is running away from the war. I believe that Salva is going somewhere comfortable and safe that is away from the war, Salva's family is most likely either dead or trying to find a safe haven to be for the moment until the war ends, and Salva might not be able to see his family again. Under the same circumstances, however, I would remain zoned out to refrain from letting myself overthink the situation and just run from the war and try my best to make it to safety without dieing.

· Salva lives with his family in southern Sudan and helps take care of the animals when he isn’t in school. In Salva’s culture as each boy reached the age of ten they were sent off to school and if you caught an animal while playing outside you would have to stop and build a fire to cook the animal. No, it is not like my own.

· Where is my family, where are we going, and when will I see them again? Killed in war, ethopia, not for a while. Find my family, and get as far away from the war

Nya's journey everyday is to get water and it takes Nya most of the Moring to get there and has to put a doughnut on there head so then it would not hurt and I would feel stressed if I had a responsibility like Nya because Nya has to get up in the Moring and walk there to get water.

Salva is 11 years old living in Sudan. Salva’s father is a very successful man who owned many head in cattle and works as the villager’s judge. He has 3 brothers and two sisters. He is part of the Dinka tribe and speaks Dinka as well. Though the Sudanese government issues them to learn Arabic in school instead. During this period and time, women did not go to school, they stayed home and helped their mothers. During this time, a two-year long war was going on, and they invade Salva’s village while he is attending school. He runs away from his village, hiding in a bush. He asks to himself “Where am I going? Where’s my family? When will I see them again?” Salva’s life is very difficult and where I live, we do not deal with issues like this on a daily basis. I can’t relate but I feel sympathy for him for going through this at 11.

Nya had to go get water every day for her parents it is so tiring the she has to put a donut on her head so the water jug is stable. If I were her I would be so tired.

Nyla’s journey was to get water from the pond. If I had a a life like her and had to walk all day back and forth carrying a heavy bucket of water on my head I would get miserable. Salva and nyla have different life styles. Salvas life is very hard. Many people related to him or are in the same tribe as him. Salvas life is way different from my life. Where’s my family, Where am I going and will I see them again.

Nya had to walk to a lake to gather water for her family every day, this was very tiring for Nya since it was such a long walk there and back. Nya used a donut to put on her head to help balance the water, and also keep her head from hurting. If I were Nya having to walk to a lake everyday I would be so exhausted every minute of the day and I would hate to have to be in the situation she was in.

It takes Nya hours to get to the pond where she gets the water for her family and she has to dig holes in the ground of the pond and wait for the water to come up, she has to walk all the way back to her family and it takes hours to get there. If I was Nya I would keep on going.

Salva’s family are cattle herders, along with that his father is a respected judge. Salva also has 3 siblings, his two brothers and 1 sister. Depending on their age, the boys get different amount cattle to take care of depending on their age. Salva’s sister stays at home with his mother. Finally his father serves as the village’s respected judge. Their family is nothing like mine as I have one 34 half brother who does not live with us, and both my parents work.

Salva’s daily life has changed much because of the war in South Sudan. Going to school or going anywhere is dangerous because of the war. He also has to be careful to ask for help from the other tribe. Different face marks and scars determine the tribe of the person. After Salva had to flee he worried about his family and who he talked to. I feel that I would try to stay with the old lady in chapter 3 and if I couldn’t I would walk away from the war.

Salva is a good student as he learns Arabic, and he feels lucky to be able to attend school. Salva’s father is successful and he is the village judge. Salva has 3 brothers and 2 sisters, and they have certain responsibilities. Me and Salva have completely different lives.

Three questions that occupy Salva’s thoughts are “Where are we going?” “Where is my family?” When will I see them again?” I would be panicking and worrying if I was in Salva’s situation.

Nya spends her time everyday walking for a long time to get gourds of water for her family. I would feel a lot of pressure because if I don’t bring back enough water, we’re gonna be dehydrated.

The tribes tell them self apart because of their scar marks on their faces. Some ways that I can tell myself apart from other cultures are seeing what their traditions are and overall their appearance in general.

C. Bailey WA

2023-09-22 17:06:21 UTC

Salva learns Arabic, the main language of Sudan.
The three things Salva is wondering, are, where are we going?, Wheres my family?, and he’s wondering when he’ll see them again?. I think he’s going to the Sudan government, his family might be dead, also I predict that he won’t see them again.
Nya has to get gourds of water for her family everyday. This is her responsibility
To tell each tribe apart from each other they all have specific scars on each of their foreheads.

Salva lives with his family, most of which herd cattle. His father is a judge, and they live in small houses. Pretty much like the area where I live. Salva, once he gets separated from his parents, has three questions he keeps asking himself with terror. “Where are we going?” “Where is my family?” and, “When will I see them again?” I gotta admit, I’d be asking myself the same questions.

Every day Nya has to walk a long distance to get water, which I’m pretty sure in our society we all take for granted. I’m not the one in my household who has to get us water, but we only have a well that gives around one gallon of water a minute, and I can tell you it’s pretty bad compared to other peoples’ situations. If my family was dependent on me for water, I’d treat it really seriously.

Salva tells his people apart from others by the markings on their faces. My fellow students dress however they want to as long as it adheres to the dress code, and maybe same for other nations but the fashion will be different. The uniforms (if they had them) would be different.

C.Bailey WA

2023-09-22 17:13:59 UTC

The three questions were “where are we going” “where is my family” “When will I see them again" .The answer to the questions is he is going to a barn and we do not know when or where we will next see the family. If I was in his situation I would think RUN, HIDE, where is everyone.

We learn that Salva is a young schoolboy from the Dinka tribe in Southern Sudan. His father is a rich man with many cattle, and Salva has multiple brothers and sisters. His life has been harshly impacted due to the civil war in Sudan, and access to water is scarce. Salva's culture and ife is not like ours, we do not face the hardships he faces, and we are more privileged with our education systems, acess to food and water, and our bleliefs vary quite a bit.

Nyas journey everyday is essential to her survival. She has to take a “long walk to water” and bring back water for her family and tribe. If I had such an essential task I would feel important and needed as well as used.

In the book a long walk to water us the readers learn about Salva’s daily life is like in south sudan. Salva is a great student in school but is bored by the lessons his teacher teaches because he isnt interested in learning Arabic, Salva dreams for adventure, and going back home to his family. Salva speaks the native language of the tribe Dinka. In my life i love the outdoors like Salva and i like going on adventures and making memories.

We learn that Salva lives in a smalll village in sudan where his family farms cattle and he goes to school and learns Arabic wich he a knows most of, his sisters stay home and help his mother with chores, there probably muslim because it mentioned in later chapters that they were attacked by the rebels and the the goverment was trying to force people to be muslims. the rebels tried to go to war also it mentions that there learning arabic wich wouldnt make sense if they were learning it thay were muslim, also muslkings conquered northern africa spreading the religion.

We learn that Salva lives in an area that has a war going on which is dangerous since he is only 11 and he is thinking of running home hide and being scared.

Salva's life takes place in Southern Sudan, and life is very rough. He is very lucky to even be able to go to school as very many kids are not able to. He has to walk to school every day and it takes about 30 minutes. At school, he learns Arabic but his family taught him the language of the Dinka tribe which he was a part of.

Three questions that were occupying Salva's mind were "Where are we going? Where is my family? Will I see them again? I would be asking these same questions if I were in his situation.

Every day Nya walks for a very long time to get water for her family. She gets the water in gourds and walks them all the way to the Lake and has to carry it all back. If I had to do this much every day I would be very sad and in pain all the time. I would also try to give up on this responsibility if I ever had the chance.

The different tribes can tell themselves apart from the scars they give themselves on their faces. If people can tell me apart from other students of other cultures could be seeing what traditions they follow and the clothes they wear.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own?

Salva’s culture is the culture of Dinka. I think he lives on a farm-like area, where he is incharge of a singular cow. They challenged each other to see who could create the best cow out of clay and sometimes they went shooting with their bows and arrows. He is living during the middle of a civil war and the war has reached his town. This isn’t much like my own.

What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances?

Three questions occupying Salva’s mind are where are my family, are they ok, where are we going. I would also be wondering where my family was and if they were ok.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her?

Nya has to get firewood from the bushes and has to walk to a pond to get water from a pond that was drying up. I would take the job seriously, it would be important for me to bring water back to my family and grab firewood to burn so you can cook food.

How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures?

The Dinka can tell each whether they're from the same tribe or not because right before you go into adulthood you get a v shaped carved into your skull on the forehead. Some might have a cross or they might celebrate different holidays than others.

Salva’s life in the rainy season consists of going to school to learn Arabic. He is a good student and already knows the lesson, though. When he is not at school, he and his brothers keep watch on the cattle, though since they rarely wander off, the boys play instead. This culture is similar to ours in that the children go to school and have chores, but Salva’s family seems to have far more chores and far less school.

Salva is totally focused on the answers to three questions: where he is going, where his family is, and when he will see his family again. Salva is probably going somewhere safer than the middle of a war, and based on the choice board, he is most likely going to go to Ethiopia. His family has a good chance of being dead, although it is not necessarily a certainty, and if they are dead, he is unlikely to see them again.These circumstances are so different from any that I have been in before that I have little idea what would be going through my mind in the same situation, but it seems likely that they would be similar to what Salva is thinking.

Nya must trek to and from a pond every day to get water for her family. On a fast day, she gets back before noon. It is hot, and she is very thirsty when she arrives at the pond. It is an important job, and the essentiality of it would be a burden because, if I am injured or sick, the family stands a chance of dying.

The people in the book tell each other apart by the markings on their faces. I tell myself apart from other people by clothes, primarily, although some customs are also different.

We learn that Salva is a student and is learning arabic. His life consists of going to school, taking care of the cattle, which they barely wander away so he plays with his friend instead. His culture is dinka and they are a tribe. His life and culture are not like my life and culture. Our lives and culture are very different because they have to work for everything they have on their own, where as we can just buy necessities such as food, water, clothes and other items.

Three questions that occupy salvas thoughts are “Where are we going?” “Where is my family?” and “When will i see them again?” I predict that they are moving away from the gunfire to be safe, they have to move somewhere where there is water and that they can survive. So i expect them to move to another tribe or find a spot with water. The question “Where is my family?” i predict is answered that his family is either hurt, or lost and are with another group of people that are not from his village. The question “When will i see them again?” I predict that this will be answered when he finds a group of people at a spot that has the necessities for life and he will discover that his parents were with them or are hurt. Some things that might be going through my mind are, “Where do I go from here?” or “Is my family ok?” i would be worried about my family and friends. I would also be worried about waking up and being in danger about the threat of gunfire around me.

Nyas journey everday is to walk a long time to go fetch water and bring back a lot of water in jugs that they will use to survive. She has to focus on walking there because there is not much time in the day for her to make stops. She also has to be careful with what she is walking on because there is a danger that she could cut her foot and damager her foot while she is walking. If i had such an essential responsibility like her i would feel a lot of pressure and be worried about making mistakes. I would be worried about spilling the water or not making it there fast enough.

Different tribes tell tell themselves apart because they have special markings when they enter adulthood. For example the dinka tribe has a V carved into the skull and some have a cross. Some ways i tell myself from students of different cultures are that they celebreate differnet holidays or believe in different people that they talk about.

What do we learn about Salva’s life and culture from the first chapter? Is it anything like your own? In the first chapter of A Long Walk to Water, we learn that Salva’s daily life is both different and the same as my own. Salva goes to school each day in a classroom and has a teacher, just like me. Unlike me, Salva seems to appreciates that he has the opportunity to go to school because his dad is a successful man. Salva only goes to school during the rainy season, I go to school 9 months out of the year. Salva also knows a lot about animals and cow herding, and is able to make clay cow sculptures.

What three questions occupy Salva’s thoughts? Predict the answers to those questions. What might be going through your mind under the same circumstances? The questions that occupy Salva’s thoughts are, “Where are we going?” “Where is my family?” and “When will I see them again?” I predict that Salva might be headed out of the country to get away from the war. I think Salva’s family is probably either being held hostage by the government soldiers or was killed when they invaded his village. I don’t think Salva will ever see his family again.

Describe and explain Nya’s journey everyday. How would you feel if you had such an essential responsibility like her? Each day, Nya has to travel from her village to get water from a watering hole. She walks alone along a path carrying an empty water jug until she fills it up and returns home with it full of water and placed on her head. If I had that responsibility I would feel a lot of pressure to get the water everyday and make sure I didn’t spill it or dump it out while I was walking.

How do different tribes tell themselves apart from each other? What are some ways you tell yourself apart from students of other cultures? Different tribes tell themselves apart from each other by the scarring on their foreheads. The Dinca tribe gives young boys a V shaped scar when they become men in Salva’s village. I am able to tell myself apart from students of other cultures by my skin color, the texture of my hair and facial features. Some cultures also speak differently, either different languages or accents or words they use.

We learn that Salva has it easy. He gets to go to school and tend to the cattle and play, but his life is not like mine. In his mind, Salva asks where his family is. I think his family has either been taken as soldiers or they are slaves. I would be thinking about my family and my survival if I were in his shoes. Nya has to spend half of the morning going to get water, then the other half of it to go back home. If I had a responsibility like her, I would have to train every day and it would not be very fun. Salva can tell the Dinka tribe apart from the Nuers because of the scars on their foreheads. I can tell my fellow classmates apart by their skin colors, facial features and accents.

We learned that Salva's life was very hard and that he had many responsibilities like looking after cows and going to school at the same time. It is not anything like my life thanks to my parents.
The questions going through his head is where is my family and when will i find them. The questions that would go through my mind will be will i make it out alive or not.
Nya's life was hard aswell just like salva she had many things to do like fetching water from the well and coming back most of the day. I would dedicate everything to the work i have to do to get the work done.
They tell each other apart cause they have different symbols on their foreheads. We tell each other apart by our looks

we learn't that he only started school at 10 years old. we also learn't that they would make cow sculpture out of clay

2026-05-05 00:18:16 UTC

I feel bad for salva, since he got separated from his family at a gun shooting near his home and left his mother on accident since he was scared if getting shot.
He spends half of his life searching for his old family but fails, as he digs through memories in order to locate his old village and his mother with his sister .
Why do they start school at such a mid age, they should go as soon as they learn how to talk,stand,and listen. When learning at ten or eleven may force your child to learn near their tween ages, like twelve thirteen and etc
If i was in this situation, i would listen to the staff so that i survive and make sure my family is alright during the shooting and near death experience.

walking on water

2026-05-05 00:27:25 UTC

I learned that they live far away from the water and they are very religious. They are definitely not like my family because they can have so many wife's and they are so religious. He is wandering why he live's so far away from water and if his family is safe. He wants to go to school for good education.
