Book:A long walk to water
After leaving the wetlands, where there were 1000 bloodsucking mosquitoes, they entered the desert. The final stretch until entering Ethiopia. It would have to take at minimum 4 days to get passed the scorching heat of the desert. Beside having little bits of water, a much worse thing is going to happen, equally as bad as when Salva lost his friend. And it happened like this, after a few exhausting days in the desert, everything was going ok, until a bunch of rebels came and controlled the group, they took all the water and meat( that the group hunted a day before), then they went to Salvas uncle and asked him where he was from and where they were heading. He told them honestly, but he was still taking to this tree and stripped from his rifle, and just like that the men aimed and took fire right in front of Salva.The Whole trip, and his reality just collapsed, it was so surreal. He couldn't imagine what he would do with a bunch of strangers again, there would be no one to help him. And as the days passed without uncle people again started to question Salva being there. But just as he thought all was lost they saw the refugee camp in the horizon, and he thought to him self "just like uncle said, just make it to there".
I really liked how you described the heat. This post makes it sounds like the book is getting to a really good part.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds interesting and I liked how you described what happened.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for these people. They hardly can survive. This book sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very depressing book, especially since it sounds realistic.
