We read about two different settings in this book. What are they? What are the similarities and differences between the two settings? Which one would you rather live in and why? (Remember: setting is both where and when the story is taking place.)
The two different settings in this book is Southern Sudan and the United States. A difference between the two settings is that one setting takes place from 1985, and the other setting takes place in 2008. I would rather live in the United States because I think there is more opportunities in the United States than Sudan. For example, in the United States, you don’t have to be worrying about walking 8 hours to get your family’s water like you do if you were living in Sudan.

In A Long Walk To Water by Linda Sue Park, we meet two main characters, Nya and Salva. How would you describe each of them? What is similar about these two characters? What is different?
I would describe Nya and Salva as very committed, dedicating, and loving. They both were determined to reach what they wanted/their goal. For example, in the beginning of the book, Salva kept on walking, even when he lost hope of a chance that he would find his family. Because of this, he found what he wanted, a place where there was no war happening, giving him opportunities, and where he gained his hope back. Nya got a thorn in her foot, but she kept on walking, carrying jugs of muddy water. A similarity between Salva and Nya is that they both thought someone or people they loved were dead. Nya thought her baby sister, Akeer, was going to die, but she had lived. Salva thought his parents and siblings all died, but his mother, father, sisters, and brother were still living. Something different about Nya and Salva is that Salva had to go through much harder stuff and places to get what he wants rather than Nya had her dreams and grants come to her. Those are the descriptions of Salva and Nya, and their similarities and …show more content…

8. What do we learn about the history between the Nuer tribe and the Dinka tribe? What is the cause of their problems? At the end of the book, how does Salva work to repair the relationship?
We learn that the history between the Nuer tribe and the Dinka tribe isn’t that great. They have a bad relationship with eachother. They have a bad relationship because the Nuer men killed Uncle and stole all the items the travelers had. They fought over scarce water. Salva offered wells for the Nuer and Dinka tribes, which surprised Nya. Salva offered cleaned water for wells because he works to repair the relationship between the two tribe by offering clean water because that’s the main topic that kept the tribes
