Perseverance is an important theme in A Long Walk to Water. My first example of perseverance when Salva had to walk miles through the desert to a refugee camp. It showed perseverance because he had a stubbed toe and little water but kept going. His uncle helped him perserver by telling him landmarks to go to so the trip didn’t seem so big. My second example would be when Salva said to himself “I need only to get through the rest of the day” (page 73). To me that me that means to me he just telling himself one more day so he feels like he is all most done with the bad refugee camp that showed perserverance beacse the camp was like a jail with barbed wire and tall fences and you could not leavee unless you are leaving forever. My last example
