In this passage from “A Long Walk to Water” by Linda Sue Park‚ the tone of the author was dramatic.

Colonial Care Center is a local Long beach Nursing Home Located on the corner of Cherry and 5th street.

Not growing up in an environment like the ones of the characters I don’t seem to have any personal connections. However‚ as I compare the movie to the book I understand the tragic scenarios Ishmael‚ Solomon‚ and Solomon’s son went through. Innocent children and people were killed each day for no logic reason. Survival was something near to impossible. The book concentrates on Ishmael from an individual point of view. He knew about war yet he knew it was far away. He was much more secure with the
