(b) We first meet Salva (1985). He is in his classroom, but he's not paying attention to the teacher, because he is daydreaming about going home after class.
(c) Salva's lesson (and daydreaming) is interrupted by the sound of gunfire just outside the school.  His teacher orders all of the boys to run into the bushes, and warns them not to return to their homes and villages
(d) Although he was tempted go home, when he sees everyone running for their lives, Salva "runs as hard as he can into the bushes" (p.7)  
(e) After 2  years of hearing  about the fighting between the Northern government and the Southern rebels, the war has come to where Salva lives.
