A LONG WALK TO WATER

CHAPTER 1 Salva was one of 5 children. His father was a successful cattle owner. Only him and his two brothers (Ariik and Ring) were able to go to school. His sisters (A kit and Agnath) weren’t able to go to school, they stayed home and learned from their mother how to keep house. This was the same as every girl in the village. There was a war that had now come to where Salva lived in southern Sudan.

CHAPTER 2 Salva’s village was now captured by soldiers and ordered around by them. Salva’s village was ordered to make 2 groups, one group of men and one group of women and children. Salva thought that teenage boys were considered to be men so he went to the men’s group, but then got ordered to go to the women and children group. The soldiers took Salva away to a place. Salva then fell asleep and when he woke up he felt dizzy and saw that there was no one but himself in the place. The place was a barn.

CHAPTER 3 Salva was looking around the barn and found someone else and saw that the person was the same tribe as him. The girl said to him “You must be hungry”. She stood and went into the house. A few moments later, she came out and gave him two handfuls of raw peanuts. Salva asked the women if he could stay with her until the fighting had stopped and then go and find his parents. The women was fine with it.

CHAPTER 4 The women then took Salva to a place filled with Dinka people and Salva started to wonder if his family could be among these people. He scanned and scanned but he couldn’t find anyone from his family. A man said to the women that Salva would be no help to them and that they should leave him behind. The women then took the mans arm and the man said “I guess he could help us in some way”. Then Salva met a man called Buksa. Buksa and Salva walked around a place called Jur-chol. Buksa and Salva were both very hungry. Buksa found a beehive and used that for food for the night.

One afternoon, while standing at the top of the hill, looked down on the village and said, “I never have any fun. The villagers get to work together, and talk, and play, but I am all alone on this hill.” Then he had an idea. “I know how to have fun,” he thought. “WOLF! WOLF! HELP! The wolf is chasing the sheep!” The hardworking people of the village heard his cry, and came running up the hill to help him.

What is wrong with you?” said the village elder. The crowd walked away, shaking their heads. The next afternoon, the boy was caring for his sheep at the top of the hill. He watched time pass by slowly, and he said, “I am more bored today, then I was yesterday.” He remembered the excietment yesterday, watching the angry villagers faces when they got to the top of the hill.
