Essay

This fantastic novel was written by Linda Sue Park. In this book, you will embark on a superb journey through south Sudan with Salva as well as listening to Nyas story and how they connect. In this Essay, I will be focusing on Salva as he has a larger part in this book. Let's start at the start where Salva still had a simple life.
In chapter one, Salva age 11 life was simple herding cattle using his bow to shoot at small game. It was his turn to go to school this year, he would walk to school early because it was a half-hour walk to school. One day at school Salva was working when he heard shots outside when outside he was told to run to the bushes. when Salva reached the bushes this marked the start of his journey. He was told to continue east as the fighting would follow. In chapter 2 Salva continues to walk east slipping in and out of groups of other people walking and still not knowing where he was walking to. while also desperately looking for his family.
Over the next few chapters, Salva finds a friend Merial as well as his uncle Jewiir. Over time uncle Jewiir came to be the leader of the group which helped Salva a lot as the rest of the group wishes to leave Salva because he is young and could slow them down. In these few chapters, you can see how much Salva's caricature has developed due to the hardships he has faced. Hideing in the shadows so Slava could listen in on the older people talking Salva found out that they were heading for Itang a refugee camp. Uncle Jewiir was always onest with Salva so he knew how hard this journey would be.
Soon Salva arrived at a river and knowing that most of the group couldn't swim and there were crocodiles in the water the group worked together on weaving boat's witch fascinated Salva. after the river, Salva entered the desert witch beat him down many times but nearly at the end some men came and shot uncle Jewiir

I feel bad for Salva but I don't blame the group I probably would have done the same it is just a waste of food and energy what use is a child

nya realize on the water to survive it is a must for her like currency is for us

adapt fast, resourceful insurance

for the rest of the family are more protected at home but for nya, the lake camp is a bit better

the letter

The lead of my pencil scraped across my page creating a annoying sound and fracturing the calm silence I hurt a boy today I  made him cry I said to my self, I feel as if the whole wolds anger is pushing down on me keeping me trapped in my web of guilt. One small tear slid down my check I hated it at that moment for its pure innocence and honesty. I worried about what I could put into my letter to tell that boy that I didn't mean to hurt him, and that it hurt me just as much if not more because you wound will heal over time and all you will have left is just bitter memories of me were as this will haunt me for the rest of my life . I just want to tell that boy that I'm sorry so sorry. The end

the hook

I woke up to the sound of my alarm buzzing next to my head. I jumped out of bed disrupting the peaceful silence but I didn't mind I was ten. I ran up to my parent's room. I through the door open and jumped on the bed rousing them of there slumber presents presents I half shouted in my eager anticipation dad laughed and eased out of bed and told me to stay with mum while he went to get my presents after what seemed like an eternity came back telling me to close my eyes then after what seemed like hours I felt a wet thing lap at my face I opened my eyes to find a beautiful puppy . dad suggested that we should get dressed so we could take her for a walk at the park, that we can see her personality and give her a name that suits her.

when we got to the park I opened the door and she ran out and before I could react I saw a man grab her. I called  out but I was too late
