We can donate, volunteer, and just help the refugee community as best as we can.

The book, “A long Walk to Water,” has made me apprehend on all of those problems that are occurring in the world, particularly in Africa. The struggle of their lifestyles, which is so much more distinct from ours, has made me realize how fortunate I am to be living where I am, and how safe I am. Their oppositions with war, have split their country apart and has separated millions of lives throughout their country. But just the fact that the book is a true story, just moves me. The time periods of both Salva and Nya are remarkable, and how their struggle has still lasted during all of those years; furthermore, every day is another day of work and survival.

Linda Sue Park created Nya in “A long Walk To water because it represents every girl/women’s life in her village. Also, it tells about women rights in Sudan.To begin with, every female has to get water for the family. This is because chapter four states “ When she was done, she took the bowl back inside. Her mother was nursing the baby, Nya’s little brother. ‘Take Akeer with you, She needs to learn”(page 20).

This book is like going back to in time how good it is. This summer I have read A Long Way To Water by Linda Sue Park. In the novel, there were two different times in years but they both take place in Sudan, Africa. The two different years are in 1985 and in 2008.

In the setting year of 2008, there was a girl named Nya which at the time was 11 years old as well.

　　One song that could describe the African American heritage and culture is Wade In The Water. I feel Like this song tells of the past and history of all enslaved African Americans and what they had to go through to get to freedom. The very few who followed this song and had the gusto to disobey their masters and leave unknowingly, they were risking major beatings and possibly death provoked by the one who owns them. The African Americans have had a tough past and I feel like the song Wade In The Water, along with many other songs about the heritage of African Americans, holds true to the reality of their past and the struggles they had to go through to get where they are now.

When I mentions my desire to write to an acquaintance of mine, she immediately assumed I would write “Christian novels.” I do wish to write Christian content, but her idea of Christian books and mine differ vastly. Author of the acclaimed novel A Wrinkle In Time, Madeline L’Engle eloquently reflects on the relationship between Christianity and art in her book, Walking on Water. Within this work, she asks what makes art Christian, an artist Christian, and the relationship between faith and art. After reading her book, I have arrived at certain conclusions regarding “Christian art” and Christian art.

The mission of this organization is to help refugees and displaced people worldwide. As of today, the UNHCR is 64 years old and has proved itself as an organization humanity can count on, even in the worst aftermaths of wars.
