A Long Walk to Water

A LONG WALK TO WATER ~ Chapter 3

Why would the rebel soldiers ignore an old woman traveling alone? Why would it be more dangerous for her to travel with Salva? Explain.

Describe how Sala treats the older woman he comes across. What does this tell us about Dinka culture?

Why do you think the author chose to include two different storylines (Nya's and Salva's) in one book? What is the purpose for this?

Salva is a possible child soldier or a potential child soldier. On her own, the old woman is not a threat to anyone or a use to anyone.
