What Does Salva Change In A Long Walk To Water

Factors that made survival possible for Salva in a long walk to water were family/friends,helpful people, and basic needs. These factors made survival possible for him since his family and friends he met had motivated him to continue on his journey, helpful people were the most helpful on the journey they may have gave him something that was the most useful,and basic needs were the most important things but were the things everyone needed to have such as a gourd which was a simple but an important product to carry water.

Salva had hope that one day he will be able to see his family again. He hoped that they have not died or been hurt. “Each time, Salva would think of his family and his village, and he was somehow able to keep his wounded feet moving forward, one painful step at a time.” (54) Salva also had luck. He was lucky that he did not get shot or eaten by crocodiles when passing the Gilo River.

In the novel “A long walk to water” by Linda Sue Park, Salva, a young man that lived in South Sudan throughout his childhood to his young-adult years, had faced many difficult challenges the young age of eleven. Salva had to flee from home because of Sudan’s civil war. He soon experienced a horrifying and dreadful life, his family gone, no resources in his group, he watched people die, walked for months, and lead twelve hundred boys to a refugee camp in Kenya. Salva survived this terrible life with the help of three factors, perseverance, luck, and relationships with others. Without any of these factors, Salva might not have been able to survive or possibly become the leader he is today.

He is more confident and has taken more leadership for his group. For example, later in the book, Salva saw his Uncle. The text on page 32 says: “Salva turned. His mouth fell open in amazement, but he could not speak.” This shows it was painful to keep walking without anyone he knew besides him. This also reveals, Salva couldn’t believe his eyes. Salva, the fortunate light, finally sees his shiny way through the boiling and dusty road. To one of his family members. If one looks closely through the lenses of place, one could sense the joy Salva had inside him. He felt blessed. He felt beatific. Later on, everyone Salva cherished on his trip was gone. Eternally. Salva, a joyful child, got treated atrociously. He is strong by just pushing the negativity of his mind. Started giving his feelings out to everyone. The author wrote, “There is no one left to help me. They think I am weak and useless. Salva lifted his head proudly. They are wrong, and I will show them.” This shows that Salva is determined to keep going. Not weaknesses overtaking him. This also reveals, this step has taken real courage, like 1st person skydiving on earth. If one looks closely through the lens of time, one could see how hard it is for a kid to still survive through all the losses that have impacted him. This is mainly in the middle of the book; how hard it really feels to fight for

Don’t let people misunderstand you by you age and bringing you down.“He is too young to do any real work, he will be no help to us.”(Park 21)The other villagers think that Salva will slow them down because he is too young. They want to leave him, alone. Salva feels sad and he feels unwanted. It makes him feel like he cannot do anything. “One step at a time. One day at a time. Just today, just this day to get through.”(Park, 77)Salva is thinking of ways to keep going and believing in himself, not letting anything bring him down so he can accomplish. So he can accomplish being somewhere safe and finding his family.Salva didn't let them misunderstand him just by his age and being brave. So he kept on showing them how wrong they were for thinking that he couldn’t do it and proved them all worn when he grew up and went to the United States.

He is more confident and has taken more leadership for his group. For example, later in the book Salva saw his Uncle. The text on page 32 says: “Salva turned. His mouth fell open in amazement, but he could not speak.” This reveals the painfulness to keep walking without anyone he knew besides him. Further on, Salva couldn’t believe his eyes. Salva, the fortunate light, finally sees his shiny way through the boiling and dusty road. To one of his family members. If one looks closely through the lenses of place, one could sense the joy Salva had inside him. He felt blessed. He felt beatific. Later on, Salva lost everyone he cherished on his trip. Eternally.

She changes from these external conflicts because of actions. An external conflict is when Gram gets bitten by a water moccasin. In the book it says “As he made a slit in Gram’s leg across the snake bite, blood trickled down her ankle,” (pg 88). This made Sal worry more about Gram and having to take to the hospital quicker. It also made her now be on the lookout for Gram. The second external conflict is when Sal figured out about the bus crash who Mrs. Cadaver was really. In the book it says They were strangers to each other earn they got on that bus, but by the time they got of, six days later, they were friends,” (pg 256). This makes Sal realize that she has been treating Mrs. Cadaver badly even though she was friends with her mother, and now she probably regrets it. But this shows that you should never judge someone without knowing their

One of the most significant external forces that changed Sal was the road trip. In the beginning of the story Sals mom had left her and her dad on an April morning. Then later on in the story her grandparents take her on a road trip to Lewiston so she can see her mom. On the road trip she doesn't want to believe her mother is dead but throughout the story she starts to realize that her mother might be dead. On page 249, the author wrote, “A bus when the of the road here a year ago,” he said. “Skidded right there, coming out of the last turn, and went sliding of this here overlook and through the railing and rolled over and over into those trees. A helluva thing. When I came home that night rescuers were still hacking their way throug the brush to get to in. Only one person survived, ya know.” I knew.” This shows that sal is starting to realize that her mother died on the bus crash. And if Sal didn't want to believe her mother was dead she would have said “no I don't know” instead of I knew. This changed Sal

A Long Walk to Water is a book about a young refugee named Salva Dut. Said boy was also part of the Lost Boys of Sudan, a group of over 20,000 boys displaced and/or orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War. Salva found himself joining group after group along the way, as he had been separated from his family. He faced many challenges, ranging from loved ones dying, crossing dangerous terrains, and having to travel far distances seeking security. His sheer determination and willpower urged him on in these circumstances, as well as some other key factors I will not be elaborating upon.

In reading Jasmina Derivsevic-Cesic’s novel, The River Runs Salt, Runs Sweet, I find the purpose of her telling her painful story fascinating. Her purpose in writing her story evolves over time from when she was asked to write about her family members’ deaths, to when she began the writing process. Jasmina begins by stating that she originally was “writing the story for Bosnia’s sake.” (Dervisevic-Cesic, 2) Although, when she begins writing her story, the purpose shifts from the story telling of her lost loved ones to helping the people of her new home to understand what Bosnia went through and how they can help. (D-C, 1)

Sadly, a group of nuer that was against the Dinka had killed salva's uncle."They buried uncle in a hole about two feet deep, a hole that has already been made by some kind of animal."(64) Not only did Salva loose Marial but he also lost the only family member that was close to him. Salva couldnt hold on to this forver. This was the best they couldve done for his uncle, bury him. There was no way that his unc couldve cam back to life so Salva had to get over this tragic event to keep going. Even though he was in shock, he kept on traveling the next day.He couldnt stop moving. He knw that in his heart. It was logical that he continued with the group, othrwise he wouldve been left behind as the group didnt care for him any more since his uncle died. Following his uncle's death, "..the group's attitude toward him changed."(65) they had all thought that he was too small and weak to go along with the group. So as predicted they've started to neglect him again. Even though times were tough, Salva still begged for scraps because it was all he was going to get and he had to accept that. One of Salva's goals was to reunite with his family again.But deep in his mind he always knew that ther was a possiblity that he could never see his family again bcause they couldve ben kileld. But slava nevr chose to accept that reality, instead he looked on the bright said and

Salva the main character of “A Long Walk to Water” by Linda Sue Park was an 11-year old boy when his village was attacked. His teacher urged him to run away from the village and to run to the “bush.” After that attack, his life made a turn for the worse. With no family around him, he was completely lost. During his journey, he had some problems, but overcame

His Uncle. Though he did not last very long, he was still a huge turning point for Salva and helped his urge to keep moving, just a step at a time. On one special day in Southern Sudan 1985, Salva was stood off from an unusual sound, his name. But who was it called him? Then the man came toward him, it was his Uncle Jewiir. His father’s youngest brother who he had not seen in two years. Soon later Uncle took full responsibility for taking care of Salva. “Listing to Uncle, hurrying to stay close to him. Salva was able to make his feet move despite the cold terrain that froze his whole body.” To add later on chapter seven, page 41 second part, “ Just one step at a time, just a day at a time.” Salva was closer to reaching his goal First part. These quotes relates to how Salva had lost almost everything, but he did not want to lose Uncle too. So he was trying to everything that he can, so that Uncle would not get out of his sight and to keep him with him. Salva was very cautious during the time he had Uncle because he was at least someone that would willingly take care of him and helped the person that he is. It was also for Uncle’s words that helped Salva for when he was stuck. So that Salva’s goal will not loosen from his grip like almost everyone had. During Salva’s childhood, he always felt better for when he had Uncle. He acted as Salva’s guardian angel, a person that Salva could trust and love. For what happened to
