In Chapter Six, Nya realizes that her mother hates having to go to the lake. There is no house, they cannot bring their things, and they have to dig for water. What is worse, though, is that Nya’s father and her older brother Dep have to go off to hunt, and Nya finally comes to understand that she is afraid because she doesn't know if they will ever return.

How does Linda Sue Park contrast Nya’s and Salva’s POVs?

Linda Sue Park contrast Nya's and Salva's POV's by looking at the adults through the eyes of the children. Salva looks at the way his uncle is seen as a leader throughout the group and Nya' watches the struggles that her mother goes through as they return to the camp each year. A place she does not like to because their home is now a make shift house and the fear the her husband and son will not return from hunting.
