Chapters 1-5: Food For Thought

Wow...what a powerful first few chapters.  I found myself really sympathizing with these two characters and how different, yet difficult situations they both face.  I'm also wondering how these two may begin to intertwine...there must be a reason the author chose these two people, even though they are separated by over twenty years.  I can't wait to read more.  Anyways...below are some questions to ponder after these chapters. Please, feel free to post responses, thoughts, and more questions :)

Now that we’ve read Chapters 1 through 5 in the text, what is one image that stays in your mind about how time, culture, or place has influenced Nya or Salva?

 

Salva’s character is developing as the story progresses. What is one thing about Salva’s character that you think is changing?

 

If you could ask Nya one question about her life, what would you ask her? Why?

 

 

If you could ask Salva one question about his life, what would you ask him? Why?
