The story “A Long Walk To Water” by Linda Sue Park, took place in the years 1985 to 2009. A theme that comes up in the story is survival. In the story, Salva is one of the characters that faces the theme. Many things helped him survive, but the most important factor in his survival is his uncle.

The Holocaust was an extremely difficult time for anyone that went into a concentration camp, and family can become one of the most important aspects of life when staying in one. Elie Wiesel delineates the events he experiences during his time with his father in the multiple concentration camps he travels to. In the memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel portrays the recurring theme importance of family throughout certain characters in the story. Through the characters: Shlomo, Stein, and Elie, Wiesel shows the importance of family as a repetitive theme. Shlomo, Elie’s father, demonstrates the importance of family by supporting Elie through, possibly, one of the hardest times of Elie’s life.

One survival challenge that proves Salva's persistence is his uncle dying. This challenge must have been hard for Salva to overcome because the closest person to him just died in front of his eyes. “As Salva watched, one of the men aimed his gun at Uncle. Three shots rang out. Then the men ran away.” (Park 63) This evidence shows that Salva watched his Uncle die, but he still goes on. As you can see this proves Salva’s persistence by saying he saw his uncle die in front of his eyes but he still finds the courage and strength to go on.

Dear Mrs. Linda sue Park,the book you wrote “A Long Walk to Water” has spoke to me and opened my eyes to what is really going on outside our “bubble.” Your book has a real meaning unlike some of the books I have read.

The tone of the excerpt A Long Walk To Water written by Linda Sue Park is exhausted. On page 52, it says that it was the longest day of Salva’s life.

There was a war in his village, and he had to run away from it. He lost his family and has little source of food and water. The only source of water provided are ponds and the only source of food is 1 bag of peanuts they were given in the beginning. This shows that he is exhausted because he is only a child that has to walk somewhere and he doesn't even know where he is going. He doesn't have any family to be with him.
