She let Salva eat some of her food and let him sleep for a couple of nights at the barn

I believe that the woman was only thinking about herself when she realises that she wouldn't be able to go further with an eleven year old boy.

Compare your first impression of the woman who lets Salva sleep in her barn with your impression of her when she leaves?

The lady was really nice to let him stay the night and give him food to eat. When she left him she was worried a kid would attract rebel’s so she left him with the barn. The barn had a roof over his head and some food to ration. In a way she was nice and protective of herself.

Do you think she is thinking only of herself or of both herself and Salva? Why?

I think she was thinking of herself but she was also helping out Salva in a way because she left him worried and without thinking she gave Salva a shelter.

My second impression is when she leaves I thought she just couldn’t handle taking care of a young boy.

I thought she was doing the right thing bye leaving him with a home and some food but water supply is low,she has done some thing good

As for when she leaves him for her own safety, was it selfish? Yes, but is it cruel, no. As an elderly woman she must look up for herself, and war makes things more serious. Although abandoning a child without food or equipment to last...not exactly what I would do if I were to be in that certain situation.

2. In my perspective, if she was thinking of herself, would she have let him stay? Would she have fed him? She helped Salva get on his feet for a bit and then let him go, it's not like she could care for him forever and guartantee her self survival! It's a war, not a daycare, every person must fend for themselves and help others for a while. Salva supposedly "Auntie" was smart, to deal with a situation like this. In conclusion This old lady did NOT shut him out but didn't let him in. ]]> 2017-10-09 22:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/195399465 Charlotte, Sydney Australia https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/195399567
first thought that she was a nice women to let a boy like salva stay at her house and feed him and give him water so could survive

After 3 days the women said to salva i am leaving so you will have to go somewhere to find your tribe but Salva was scared and frightened because he didn’t want to leave but he had to.But as time will tell it a group of men started coming towards them and then salva noticed that they were from the Dinka tribe so salva was so relieved.I think the women was only thinking about herself because if she had taken salva then she will be in trouble.]]> 2017-10-09 22:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/195399665 Jadon https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/195399675 When Salva first saw the woman I thought she would be from an enemy tribe and possibly try to harm Salva, but when she was identified as Dinka and let Salva sleep in her barn, she seemed friendlier than I expected.

When she had to leave Salva I was thinking that she would try to get further away from the fight. When she told Salva he couldn’t come because it would be more dangerous, she was not being selfish because what she said was logically correct.

And she new how it felt to be alone without her. I am inferring that she has experienced something like salva. Also I think the old lady has experienced the first civil war that Sudan had as a child and she didn’t want salva to fill sad and miss his family and have some company. Then when she said “I can’t help you any more” I thought it was very selfish and being a bit selfish on the child. As salva hasn’t experienced anything like this before so he would be wondering constantly where am l? Where is my family?

Q2 I think she was thinking for her self and I think she put deep thought into this decision. But I still can’t believe that she ditched salva I think a smart decision would have been to stay with salva or take salva with her. I think it would be rude and extremely selfish to leave her their.]]> 2017-10-09 22:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/195401559 Lachlan https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/195402317 Salva meet a woman.

I thought that the woman was very kind to look after Slava for a couple of days and it was very generous of her to feed him. She looked after him as if he was her own son,when she left I think it was the right thing to do to leave him there because she can put him and her in a lot of danger taking him with her and it is good because he needs to learn how to survive on his own because he cannot rely on her to stay alive he has to rely on himself and what’s around him.

2.Personally,I think that she is thinking of both of them. She’s keeping in mind of his safety and hers and the necessary benefits of his survival by leaving him without dragging him into any danger and knowing that it’s safe there.

When Salva came she was plain and boring and she still was when she left.

Do you think she is thinking only of herself or of both herself and Salva?

Herself

Why?

Because she wanted to leave which technically means she didn’t want people to try and take her away

But when she left Salva, I didn't think that, that was a very good move because Salva is still a kid after-all and he probably still needed someone to stay with him and care for him.

Truly, I feel like the woman had done all she could've by feeding him and giving him water.

I think this because she gave him a place to sleep, fed him and gave him water. When she left, my impressions changed. She seemed careless because Salva doesn’t have anything, not even his family. So to leave him is pretty bad. I think she is also selfish because she was only thinking of herself and not Salva.

Q2 : I think the woman is only thinking of herself. As I said in the first question, Salva really has nothing. I think she could’ve tried harder to stay with Salva and help him find his parents/family and help him get to water and safety. Salva is only young and he probably feels even worse than before now that the woman is leaving him.

It is sad that this is a real story and is still happening today with all the threats I cant imagine what Salva was feeling. Salva went through a lot losing his family, then being abandoned by the group he was with, THEN being pushed away by the old lady. And I'm almost certain his friend died.

But I was a little shocked when the women left without Salva because I thought that the women would help Salva out. I believe that the women wanted to protect Salva so he was asked not to go with her.

That's because she let in Salva in at a hard time. That's when food and water was limited (another mouth to feed). My impression of her when she left was that she was just using Salva, and was a thoughtless old lady. That's because Salva was doing all her chores, and then the old lady just leaves. I believe that is kind of mean. I think she is thinking only of herself. That's because, just like I said before, she made Salva do all her chores then she just leaves him.

I say helpful instead of kind because she never really asks if he needs help or how she can help him, she just relies on her instincts to keep him alive. For example, she doesn't ask if Salva is hungry, and once she decides (without asking) that he is hungry, she immediately goes inside to get him peanuts. Now you can argue that the variety of food available to her was scarce due to the war, and you're probably right, but the way she did it was kind of forceful. Don't get me wrong, she did a lot for Salva, especially considering her conditions, but I just wouldn't say she was kind like most everyone else has.

Her gruff approach to taking care of Salva didn't change very much from when she met Salva to when she sent him with the traveling group. I say this because, again, she did not ask him politely to leave, she just stated that he was going to; and once the group arrived to the woman's house, she had already decided that these were the people he was going to leave with and this was when they were going to say goodbye.

That being said, I do not at all think that she was being selfish. After all, she gave Salva food, shelter, etc. for, what was it, 3 weeks? Considering that she was living not only in a warzone, but also going into the dry season, in which food would be extremely sparce, she was definitely thinking of both

Overall, the woman was very helpful to Salva in giving him shelter, food, and even work for a long time, in which he surely would've perished alone. To the end, she was gruff and very sure of herself (in the best way possible) and was a huge turning point in Salva's story.]]> 2017-10-12 19:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196621359 Siya S - Wisconsin, USA https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196621587 When the woman let Salva sleep in her barn I felt really happy inside because now Salva wouldn't be alone. When the woman left, I was mad at her and I felt really bad for Salva. The woman only cared for herself and her health and used Salva.

Then, when she flat out REFUSED to let Salva stay with her, even after he was there for a few days, my impression of her changed. How could she not let a refugee child from her own tribe stay with her? I think she was getting some free labor off of him, or just using him in general to make her life easier. Finally, she might have worried that she would attract the rebels to her home by harboring a refugee, which could disturb her relationship with the rebels.]]> 2017-10-12 19:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196621966 Brayson B.- Wisconsin USA brownb16 https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196622797 When the book first introduced the old woman I thought she was really nice for letting him stay in the barn, and giving him peanuts. If you think about it it was really nice of her to give him food because it is during a war, so most people would want to save all their resources for them selves. I don't blame her for wanting to leave him behind because like I said before it is during a time of war so she did not want to get caught up with Salva. I don't think the old woman was being mean.

I think overall she was helpful to Salva, and kind to him.]]> 2017-10-12 19:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196622797 Tripp W. Wisconsin, USA walshm10 https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196623432 I think that she was trying to be as caring as possible, but in a poor country like Sudan, it hard to support someone who out of nowhere shows up asking for a place to stay. Yes, she was definitely a little selfish, but help your own kind. That's what I think of the encounter with Salva and the woman.

She let him stay with her but didn't make any big attachments because I bet you she knew she would have to leave him behind. Then, when she did leave him behind, it was for a practical reason. Salva, while not a man, is a boy and if found by rebels, would be captured and if the woman was with him she would also get caught. I don't think that was a selfish thing to do. I mean, if she really was selfish would she have given the food to him? Think about it. She does all these kind things, but she does everything for a reason.

At first though I was a little worried because she wasn't saying anything so I thought maybe she was maybe bad or something, but when she started talking and asked him if he wanted food then I thought she was really nice. In a way she kinda reminded me of like a Grandma or something because she seemed like she was wise and she was very generous to let him stay in her barn.
When she said she wouldn't take him with her at first I thought she was really rude and that she was mean, but then I realized that she was kinda looking out to them because then they would maybe kill him and her.

Is that why they left? Then, after that I began to like the woman, and trust her. Even though Salva wasn't much of a burden, it was still incredibly nice of her to let him stay. In the end, when we find out she is fleeing, I had mixed emotions. I was angered that she left him there on his own with pretty much no hope. on the other hand, she was generous to tell him what he would face if he stayed, and why she was leaving. https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196625182 2017-10-12 20:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196625182 Hannah K- Wisconsin USA https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196643959 At first, I was very surprised that the lady took Salva in. After all, he is only a child and the other group he had been with had ditched him for that reason. When the lady did take him in, she seemed kind and had a warm heart and I thought that they would stay together.
When the lady decided to leave it surprised me, because she seemed to like Salve and he liked her. But, I think that she was thinking for Salva and herself when she left because the enemy wouldn't bother an old woman but could possibly harm Salva. The enemy could have killed the both of them but with just the lady she could go easier unnoticed. Salva also had strong men to find food for him in the other group. ]]> 2017-10-12 21:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196643959 KK G.- Wisconsin USA https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/196657949 I think it was nice of the elderly to let him sleep in the barn, but i thought it was kinda a push back to salva because everyone was leaving him and had no where to go . No one wanted a little boy with them because they thought he would be trouble and wining.
I think the lady was thinking of herself because she was leaving Salva and she said "you must not be with me, they would leave an old women alone but not with a child. And i could picture in my mind if that was me i would be terrified. SO i wondered how he must have felt. :(:(:(

Adding on, I was surprised that she didn't think that he would slow things down and be one more person to feed. When the lady let him stay I thought she was nice but my mind changed when I say the next part. My impression on her when she is leaving him is mean, and selfish. I thought this because she was like oh I can't take you in anymore I'm just going to leave you here. it think that the woman was only thinking about herself. I think this because if I were in her shoes I wold let him come with me. Adding on to that other thought that she was just leaving him so she wouldn't get captured by the guards. I also think that she just didn't want another person to worry about so then she could go faster but it was still mean to leave a child behind.

When she had to leave, I think it was a reasonable request to Salava to stay behind, because she did say that if he came, it would've been more difficult since just an old women by herself, they would've respected her? (That's what i'm getting at here.) So if Salava would've rejected her request to stay without her and not follow her, they would've gotten hurt? It seemed the old women was helping Salava out and being open-minded and honest with him.

I thought that her kindness was very surprising.

I agree with your first statement , but I disagree with your last one, because the Dinka woman didn't ditch him. She could have said, "Sorry you can't stay here. I only have enough food and water for myself", but she didn't. She kindly let him stay for a few hours and gave him water, food, and shelter. She had a life that she wanted to live and she had to take care of herself, as well. She let him know why she was leaving, and that's why I think she didn't just ditch him. https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/198646999 2017-10-19 13:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/198646999 Isis E.(Atlanta GA) https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/198655091 I agree with Liam because at first I thought the women was being selfish by leaving Salva but then I realized if Salva had gone with her they might have been killed.Now I think she is really nice for leaving Salva instead of taking Salva and risking their lives.]]> 2017-10-19 13:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/198655091 Benjamin A (Atlanta GA) https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/198657693 At first I thought that the Dinka woman was going to take him with her when she left.

On the other hand the women could also bring Salva along and that would be perfect for both so i rethought and know i think the women was only thinking for here own life. The women counts as both a selfish and a thoughtful person but overall i think she was a great women with a big heart because she knew she was going somewhere dangerous and there was a slight risk that Salva would get injured or even worse. To recap in my personal opinion the women was trying to save both her life and Salvas life.]]> 2017-10-26 02:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/200663699 Jason W, CHINA https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/200663778 My first impression of the lady is actually very good and the reason for that is when you actually think about the life at that time, the old lady can only be so kind since the life at 1985 (at civil war) is very hard.

She offered him to stay at her barn. the way i thought of her was a great person. She was kind enough to do those kind of things, and most people dont do that. However, right after she told him that she would not go with slava, which meant that slava wouldnt have any support or guidance, I fist thought that she was very selfish and a horrible person, which changed my perspective, but then i tried to look in her perspective, and i realized that she alreadty provided him enough, and it would be too much weight
for her to carry. This made me feel really bad for slava and made me feel like he already had enough

Compares to when she force Salva to leave，i still stays the same opinion，because she was also forced to leave where she lives. If she was a selfish one，she would just tell Salva to go，instead she explain that the situation was bad and they have to move away.It make no sense if she does not want Salva to stay because of her selfish and hate of the boy , but also leaves at the same time. I believe that been force by the environment and backgrounds of the period, she has to leave, and leaving was not a action only for herself, it is for both of them.

She could have turned him away. In the mist of war anyone can be dangerous or seen as threat but she decided to help anyway. She was so kind and empathetic to the situation that he was in. She provided him with portions of food she did have enough of for herself. Her actions resonated with me. Even with bad in the world there is always some good. ]]> 2017-11-12 16:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/205995194 Bethany NY bbieling https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/206054070 While reading I was very surprised that the woman was willing to let him stay with her. I think she realized that he was so young and that he was very scared. Her willingness to help him really surprised me but I was thankful he was not alone any longer. Having said this my impression of her did change when she left. Initially I thought she was uninterested and didn't care, but I realize now that she gave him what she could in order to help him survive a little while on his own, but she also needed to consider her own ability to survive. The old woman provided him with a small supply of food and water then parted ways. ]]> 2017-11-12 23:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/206054070 Elaine liu shanghai suis lty06518 https://padlet.com/sbamford/faogb8rpipms/wish/221581289 i think that the women was thinking about herself and for salva.
