In the text it states "He already knew the lesson, which was why he was letting his mind wander down the road ahead of his body" (Park 2). He had already known the language (Arabic) that they were trying to teach.]]> 2018-08-24 15:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/275166415 https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/275564398 I think that Salva is worried. He's worried that he will never see his family again. He's probably worried that he might be killed in the traumatic situation. In the book it states, "What are they going to do to us? Where is my family?" (Park 10).]]> 2018-08-27 15:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/275564398 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276105049 For example, "Salva hesitated for a moment. He was only eleven, but he was the son of an important family. He was Salva Mawien Dut Ariik, from the village named for his grandfather" (Park 11). He had the braveness to step forward in the men's group. Especially in a time like this, it would have been very scary.]]> 2018-08-29 02:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276105049 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276107734 2018-08-29 03:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276107734 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276108444 For example, "Holding his breath, he crept closer, until he could see small pond"(Park 15). I think that Salva is hesitant because he is scared of getting lost or getting hurt because he is already in a bad situation so he is trying to be very careful and cautious.]]> 2018-08-29 03:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276108444 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276109535 In the book it states, "She looked at the bottom of her foot. There it was, a big thorn that had broken off right in the middle of her heel" (Park 8). I would say that Nya is resistant because the thorn was sticking in her foot and she just had to try to pull it out and then keep up with her journey. I think that she was resistant of the pain when she was probably in terrible pain.]]> 2018-08-29 03:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276109535 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276110712 In the book it says, "Nya took the hollowed gourd that was tied to the handle of the plastic container. She untied it, scooped up the brown muddy water, and drank" (Park 14). I would say that Nya is grateful because she didn't care what the water had in it, but she just drank from it because that was all she had.]]> 2018-08-29 03:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276110712 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276111254 In the text it says, "There was always so much life around the pond: other people, mostly women and girls, who had come to fill their own containers; many kinds of birds" (Park 14). I would say Nya has awareness because she pays attention what is going on around the pond. To the types of animals and the different colors and things like that.]]> 2018-08-29 03:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276111254 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276112508 For example,"Nya knew that coming home was going to take longer than coming had. But she might reach home by noon, if all went well" (Park 15). She was happy that she might make is hoe by noon because she might get home later than that usually.]]> 2018-08-29 03:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/276112508 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280180874 Salva and Nya are both from the country of Sudan. They share similar points of view. In spite of the circumstances, they both have pretty positive attitudes which ends up helping them day to day.]]> 2018-09-12 03:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280180874 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280180894 Salva is from the Dinka Tribe and his father is one of the leaders. Nya is from the Nuer Tribe and her family is not in a leadership role. ]]> 2018-09-12 03:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280180894 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280180946 I feel as though the author, Linda Park, wrote this book about Salva and Nya because they both had important stories to tell. Most likely, there were many families affected by the wars going on in 1985 and then in 2008. Park told each story to explain the hardships these families went through and what it took to survive. I think that the similarity of both Nya and Salva's age during these stories is very important. I think this because it gives both of them the same kind of point-of-view. ]]> 2018-09-12 03:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280180946 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280183926 They both faced struggles because of the war and the fact that they didn't have access to much food and water. ]]> 2018-09-12 03:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280183926 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280184103 Even though each story takes place over twenty years apart, Salva and Nya were exactly 11 years old at the time.]]> 2018-09-12 03:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280184103 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280184329 Each of the stories involving the characters takes place 23 years apart. Salva's takes place in 1985 and Nya's takes place in 2008. This is important because is shows the duration and intensity of the war. ]]> 2018-09-12 03:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280184329 presleighhines https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280184440 Salva and Nya belong to tribes who are rivals.

The differences give the reader a different point-of-view toward the story because people take their freedom, and their access to our everyday needs for granted. Especially when there are people on the other side of the world who would dream of having what we have.]]> 2018-09-12 14:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/presleighhines/evciy8w54y3a/wish/280356667
