A Long Walk To Water

In the long walking path of Linda Sue Park, Salva and Nya are seeking more than just water, but they are parallel story. Their stories are far apart in time, the story of Salva began in 1985 and the story of Near began in Sudan. The struggle they were faced at the time was still an active issue, which made the story more relevant to the reader. Salva spent most of his childhood without his family pointing out his right direction. He spent hours in his day, from young children to young adults, and walked over and over again. His childhood was full of fear, loss, hunger, thirst, and hope. However, he used his leadership to keep his compatriot from other riots. Linda Sue Park also shared the story of a girl named Nya, spending eight hours a year, spending seven months a year and gathering water until receiving a special gift for the family.

A long trip to water may be a short story, but it has always attracted the attention of readers. Linda Sue Park explores the theme of community, family and hope. Salva used his uncle's strategy to maintain hope in every situation. "You just have to go through the bush, can you do that, Salva Mawien Dut Ariik?" (P. 53) Keep his dreams. Linda Sue Park continues to fascinate the audience and want to know what will happen if the page is turned over. Because the author is very clear on her explanation, the reader can easily imagine the scene. I think it is easy to relate the story to the situation in today's world. Readers who prefer stories based on real events or the real world, such as some parts of Africa where there is not enough drinking water, will find it difficult to post this book. The history of life in Salva and Niña reminds me of how natural I think.

The survival factor of water is traveling by the long-term Baxter Hager's book "Walking in the Long Water" at Linda Su Park. El Salvador faced repeated challenges of war and departed from the family and the environment with a long and dangerous journey with Central African Republic. We talked about Nya's girl Nya who lives in the southern part of Sudan and barefoot a large plastic container in a few hours every day and then return home everyday. Her family moved to the bottom of the lake near the house in the dry season and she had to dig water. When the war came to Salva school, he and other classmates were forced to leave the class for a nearby battle. Then the teacher of Salva said to them, "They will enter the village" and say "Go to the jungle" and "Leave the village".

In this lesson, we summarize the tale of the connection from Sudan, between Salva and Nya, a long walk to the water. Salva's story began with an eleven-year-old boy who walked to the refugee camp through the desert when his village was destroyed in war. After gaining the opportunity to go to the United States, he finally found a team dug in Sudan inspired by his father's illness caused by dirty water. Nya's life will expand mainly to go to the pond and draw water until the monkey foundation digs a well in her town.
