This book was fantastic. This book had many things to learn and think about. There were many things but they were only two who made me think what they meant and why were they important. First thing, was that about three thousand boys and young men from the refugee camps would be chosen to go live in America. Second thing, how Salva will use his uncle’s advice to keep going onto his future. First thing, was that about three thousand boys and young men from the refugee camps would be chosen to go live in America. So, Salva gets the rumor that three thousand boys and young men from the refugee will be given the opportunity to go to America.

    I found it very interesting and educational to learn about the history of Uganda, a country often forgotten by the Western World. Before reading this novel I had no idea about the struggle that Indians and Africans underwent during this countdown. As a result of this novel I also learned more about the issues of systematic racism and the various downsides of class systems. Before this novel I had learned about class systems, such as the caste system in India, but by infusing history with the struggles of a young girl really helped me connect with the themes in a stronger way.

    I think that the most important thing I got from this book, is the relacom concepts. I found if I translate almost every line of a scene, the intentions reveal themselves, and the delivery of line, is much more convincing. Another concept that I have always wanted to express, but couldn’t find the words, is the idea of ethno-centricity. I can’t remember which chapter it was in, but it explained that everyone thinks their own world is the center, and to properly build a character, sometimes you must lose this ethno-centiricity.

  • Analysis Of Linda Sue Park's A Long Walk To Water

    Salva promised himself that he would stay alive for his family, so he finds a way to get food in the refugee camp, so that he could make it to America alive. In the text, Park writes, “ No one shared anything with him, neither food nor company. Uncle had always share the animals and birds he shot with everyone in the group. But it seemed they had all forgotten that, for now Salva had to beg for scraps, which were given grudgingly. The way they treated him made Salva feel stronger still. There is no one left to help me. They think I am useless...They are wrong, and I will prove it” ( Park, P.66). This evidence proves that Salva had to beg for food so that he wouldn't die of starvation. Therefore this helped Salva survive by allowing him to realize he was to take care of himself now, because he has no one to hunt a full meal for him anymore. So now Salva knows to get food he has to beg. Overall, Salva got food and survived by begging for food, and believing in himself that he will survive on his

  • Character Analysis Of Salva Dut

    Salva has traveled by himself, in small and large groups, and also into adulthood. Considering he has survived the near impossible from almost dying to losing loved ones to going to america and finally to his current point of helping his village by building water pumps, he has gone far. “There it was. Salva Dut-Rochester, New York. Salva was going to New York. He was going to America!” (89) This quote shows how excited he was to go to America, to a new beginning. He was so excited and happy when he found out his people didn’t have to share seats and when they got multiple changes of clothes because he had the same old clothes for years. He was excited over Coca-Cola because it reminded him of his family when his father brought it back from the market. “Coca-Cola! Long ago, Salva’s father had once brought back a few bottles of Coca-Cola back from his trip to the market.”(93) As he is drinking his soda, he remembers that time before the war when they were all laughing together. Salva probably missed and still misses those moments because of everything that has happened. “Salva blinked away the tears and took his first steps into a new life in America.” (96) Salva was probably tearing up because of the cold or maybe the thought of his family and how far he has come. He came from almost nothing and now he is living the dream life but without his true family. That’s why he came back to Africa to help his family and other tribes get clean

  • America Remain The World's Beacon Of Success By Tim Roemer Summary

    1024 Words  | 3 Pages

    The essay titled America Remain the World’s Beacon of Success by Tim Roemer discusses the positive position America placed as a leader in many of its endeavors in the fields of technology, sciences, and healthcare. In Roemer’s opinion, America regarded upon by other countries as the litmus test comparing their success. Roemer enumerated the many achievements and discoveries America accomplished as new country at only 700 years old. Now the question remains, will the success of America continue to be sustainable? I believe it will be, and I agree with Roemer’s opinion despite the internal issues the country face on a regular basis. After all, success is a daily repeated effort in small sum.

    This book teaches the importance of self-expression and independence. If we did not have these necessities, then life would be like those in this novel. Empty, redundant, and fearful of what is going on. The quotes above show how different life can be without our basic freedoms. This novel was very interesting and it shows, no matter how dismal a situation is, there is always a way out if you never give up, even if you have to do it alone.

  • The Survival Of Salva In A Long Walk To Water

    1020 Words  | 3 Pages

    Uncle was there for Salva, he fed him and gave Salva a friend and someone to take care of him. Uncle helped Salva a lot like for example, Park states that “None of the travelers had money or anything of value to trade, so they had to beg for food. The exception was Uncle: the fishermen gave him food without having to be asked...Uncle shared his food with Salva… the sugar-cane juice soothed the sharpest edge of Salva’s hunger”(Park,47). Uncle shared his food with Salva and if he didn’t share with Salva, Salva would have not survived. Uncle was a key aspect of Salva’s survival, without Uncle everyone including Salva would die of starvation. Uncle also helped with managing Salva’s water supply. Uncle needed to be there for Salva, to help him with tough decisions that were to complicated for a young child. Park observes, “‘No Salva’, he murmured. ‘You are too small,and not strong enough yet. Without water you will not survive the rest of the walk. Some of the others-they will be able to manage better than you’”(Park,58). Salva was originally going to share his water with the other people who were about to die but Uncle stopped him because without his water he wouldn’t be able to survive. Uncle basically saved Salva’s life because he warned him not to waste his water, but to conserve

    Overall, this is an outstanding and captivating book. Every avid reader and book lover must have an entry way into the book of choice. And in this book, the author thoroughly introduces you to a world, where you as a reader, may feel that you are in that setting, hovering above each chapter presented in the book. The author amazingly exploits our imagination to see what he sees and he does it flawlessly. He manages to get readers to experience something of what it means to think differently, because in the end I found myself cheering for Erhama bin Jaber and his followers against the British.

  • Pacifist Book Report

    400 Words  | 1 Pages

    As a reader I never thought I would read a book that made me root for the german side of the war. In the end I realized Germans and the Americans were both right in the war, which I never thought of before. The author of the book, Erich Maria Remarque, did a great job of making a pacifist novel and makes you think through the entire book about who was in the right. I think it was a good book near the end but the beginning was a little slow. In the end I was rooting for the germans to win because I got attached to the characters of the book. Remarque did a great job with the book all together. I would recommend this book to people who want to learn about war and why it is bad.
