get through life. In the novel, A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park, acceptance comes in and out of the story, many times. One example was that the old woman let Salva stay in her barn for many nights before he had to go walk to the refugee camp. Another example was that Salva accepted another part of a Dinka tribe and the Jur-Chol into their group to walk with them to the refugee camp. My last example was that Salva accepted fifteen hundred boys to walk with him to the refugee camp in…

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so the saying says. “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron (George Gordon) is a poem about one woman in particular that the speaker is obviously enamored with. There is no mention of “love” nor “desire” in the poem and it seems that the speaker wants to make that point very clear. It appears more to be an ode to the amazing beauty of a particular woman. However, by the end of the poem it is almost as if the speaker is trying to convince himself that he does not…

I first read “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” in seventh grade and I have been thinking about it ever since. I used to think about what it meant to leave and if I would be one to walk away. I probably would - not because I’m special or anything, but because I’m not good at handling difficult things and I prefer to avoid them. I don’t think that the ones who walk away are necessarily better or worse than the ones who stay, but they are certainly not the kind of people who fight for what they…

Those ideas are even visible in the novel A Long Walk to Water, in which the real-life protagonist Salva walks away from the Sudan civil war and later founds Water for South Sudan. Children that walk to school, as shown in the film On the Way to School also understand these ideas. But how? Choices help one form identity and community through the motivation of goals they have picked. It is obvious that people like Salva, the protagonist of A Long Walk to Water, and Jackson, the older boy from…

At the beginning of chapter 9, in the novel “A Long Walk To Water” the author’s tone when walking in a desert is simply revealed to be rejection. Firstly, the author quotes of the text that “Each minute of walking in that arid heat felt like an hour,” in which it means that it felt you’re boiling, and also felt like you’re striding an hour when walking in a desert. This shows, that the author is despising the “walking for an hour” in a desert, and the heat waves that carry on to it. Secondly,…
