Relation During Books A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about a girl in Sudan in 2008 and a boy in Sudan in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way.

Article About Books A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

I am speechless right now! There are no words to describe this book. It was amazing. It also had very good writing. I vould not put the book down. I can't believe that I finished a book within 2 days. That is how much I was into the book.

After I read this book, I realized how sad or poor many other places in the world was. While I was at home, playing games or eating amazing food, there were people starving and dying. War. Death. Friends. There were many sad moments, but in the end, it was happy. It taught me many things, like how if you keep on trying you will succeed. Salva kept on trying, and eventually made it to both of the camps. He also kept on trying to raise money for Sudan after he got to America, and he eventually got

There are some stories that need to be told regardless of how sad or horrifying they might be. The challenge becomes even harder when the stories are being told to children. How much should one include? What details are necessary and what can be left out without changing the story too much? And what about stories that involve extreme violence and severe suffering? How best to tell the story? These questions can be debated over and over again because there is no one right answer. No two authors

In every book, there is always one line that is the soul of the book. Remove that one line, and the book turns to rust. This book has one of the most amazing soul-of-the-books in all the books I've read. I believe that the soul in this book is the line "Just this one step-one step at a time." This message is not only repeated, but it is also meaningful. Chinese philosopher, Lao Zi, has once said that "a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." These two pieces of text connect

This is a quiet book; it is also an explosive and extremely powerful book. For such a short book, it really packs a huge punch -- one that lingers in my mind and makes me want to know more, find out more, and help out if I can! It is a quiet book because Park reports and does not sensationalize. At times, in the beginning of Salva's journey, I felt a slight disconnect: I did not feel that his forced exile from his village or even the loss of his new friend are scenes that moved me emotionally.

Absolutely an astonishing story that I believe can inspire anyone at any age. When you've read about Nya and Salva's dilemmas in life, you really can't say your life is not good. Ask yourself this: Is it really miserable, or are you just not being grateful of what you have? What inspired me the most was the fact that Salva had kept hope and perseverance throughout this dangerous and terrible life. He was able to find a four leaf clover in forest. His uncle's strategy of solving problems and
