Chapters 8-11
Chapter 8
South Sudan, 2008
Beggining
Nya's father decides that Akeer should go to the clinic. When they arrive they see a big white tent with sick and injured people, with doctors and nurses.
Middle
The nurse explains to Nya's mother that Akeer is sick from the dirty water he drinks and that if the water is dirty, it should be boiled.
End
Nya knows thinks that is impossible, because if the water is boiled, it will evaporate before they can drink it.
South Sudan, 1985
Beggining
The group paddles in their canoes for hours and hours and reaches an island in the middle of the river where the fishermen live. Salva is amazed at all the food he sees there.
The fishermen give them some food. Salva remembers that at home he had never been hungry. His father sometimes brought him mangoes and Salva's favorite part was the seed. Salva begins to tire of wondering if he will ever see his family again.
Middle
Many mosquitoes rise up and attack the group. They complain and bite them all, for that reason nobody sleeps that night.
End
The next morning, they board their canoes and the fishermen tell them to take as much water as they can carry to the Akobo desert.
Chapter 9
South Sudan, 2008
-
Middle
One day a jeep with 2 men stops. They talk to the men who were talking about the water according to Dep.
End
Nya is confused, as the closest pond is walking mid-morning to get there.
South Sudan, 1985
Beggining
Salva is impressed since there is nothing green. It will take three days to cross. The first day feels like the longest, the sun feels too strong, even breathing was difficult.
Middle
The thorns hurt her feet, her chapped lips, and it feels impossible not to drink all his water. She hits her foot on a rock and starts crying. He can barely see his tears, start to fall behind.
End
The next day is exactly the same: dust, heat, and pain. Salva feels that nothing is progressing. The group sees other people and as they get closer they see nine men on the ground.
A woman pushes forward to give water, and another person says they cannot save them. Another voice warns that men will die and they too.
Chapter 10
South Sudan, 2008
Beggining
Nya watches as the men talk and walk, toward a space between the trees.
Middle
One of the men speaks to his friend in another language that Nya cannot understand. But as he gets closer to the group, he translates it to the chief and Nya manages to listen.
End
The men say that in that space between the two trees, they would find water. Nya is confused because she knows the village very good, and according to her there is no water there.
South Sudan, 1985
Beggining
Last night the group left the desert for the Itang refugee camp in Ethiopia. Salva walks with his uncle and is worried that his family will not find him.
Middle
The uncle looks at Salva and tells him that the Loun-Ariik people were attacked and maybe burned, he says that few people survived and nobody knows where the people who went to the mountain.
The uncle tells Salva to leave him alone in the refugee camp because he has to fight again in Sudan.
Suddenly, we hear voices and they see Nuer men with guns and machetes approaching them. They stole what is inside their bags, and their clothes.
End
The men tie the uncle to a tree, Salva hears them laugh, gunshots sound and the men escape.
Chapter 11
South Sudan, 2008
Beggining
The village works hard to remove all the land that is between the two trees, which the men talked about.
Middle
It was dangerous to work with since there were scorpions and poisonous snakes hidden under the grass and the ground.
End
Nya continues on her way to the pond and watches the progress, but still has doubts: how can there be water under the floor? If the earth is hard and dry.
South Sudan, 1985
Beggining
Now that the uncle has left the group's attitude towards Salva change, and it's like before. They say it is very small, it will slow them down, nobody shares anything with it, not even the food. But that makes it stronger and will show them that they are wrong.
Middle
In the refugee camp there are old men, men, children and women. Salva is organized with children who arrive without a family and feels very strange. He thinks that there may be a possibility that his family is there, so he says that if he is there he will find it.
End
While Salva looked at all the faces, he saw an orange headscarf that reminded him of his mother and the lady also looked like his mother, so he tries not to lose her in the crowd
Connections
Nya chapter 8
I made a connection with my campaign, because it is about the dirty water and how is that to dangerous for people getting desseases or almost dying.
Salva chapter 8
When the mosquitoes start to bite them, remainds me to the part of the bees bitnig them too for eating their honey.
Predictions
Nya chapter 11
I think that the visitors to Nya's village, are still looking for water in the middle of the trees and will not find anything, because I trust Nya and waht she said about her village.
Salva chapter 11
I think that the women with the headscarf, is from Salva's village and probably from his family, not exactly his mother. But is also probable.
Inferences
Salva chapter 10
When Salva's uncle says that very few people from Loun-Ariik managed to survive, I infer that Salva's family can continue to live, since his father was "famous" in his town, so those who have been removed from town quickly and not they died.
