    A Long Walk to Water is an inspirational story written by Linda Sue Park. I relate to this story because as Salva made his long, tiring journey he had inspiration from family and friends. His friend Mariel who helped him make progress towards Ethiopia. Sadly, his friend was taken by lions while they slept. Also Salva’s uncle gave him inspirational words which helped him through not only the walk but the rest of his life.Uncle also perished due to war. People like that also exist in my life.

    The quote is significant because it shows that Salva realizes that if he were to go to a different country his family would never be able to find him. Before all of this happened Salva was walking with a group. The group members were walking away from the Civil War and were trying to escape. While they are walking Salva meets a boy named Marial. Salva asks Marial where they were headed too because he was too frightened to ask the leaders of the group. For Salva had been abandoned from a group already and he didn’t want that to happen again.

By Dee wanting to get the the quilts just to hang up on her walls and not wanting her sister to…
