A long walk to waterf. Section 1















  • Salva is from Dinka tribe but had to learn Arabic. His tribe are not only fighting for food but are fighting against another tribe. There are multiple times where bombing happens. Salva had to start school at the age of 10 and had delt with the cows at a younge age. Salvas sisters were also not allowed to go to school as they were being realied on to provide for their family. Salva also has 5 siblings (3 borthers and 2 sisters). I learnt that the more cows you have the more your richer. I also feel very lucky to know my life is nothing like Salvas.
  • Where are we going, Where is mhy family, When will i see them again - I think because Salva is far from his tribe and is having to survive alone now but is also use to being around his siblings he is starting to worry about his family and what might have happened to them.
  • Nya is a hard working young girl keen to walk miles to provide for her family. She's also still young. In my opinion if i had the kind of life she had i probably wouldn't be able to last a month knowing i'm use to doing most things a normal kid does. I know that i'd struggle big time.
  • How the tribes tell themselves apart i think is one because Dinka tribe has V shaped scars on the foheads. The way i can tell others apart is our colour and sometimes the way the talk. Most times i can just tell cultures.
