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?

      Hi Henry...if there is one question you like you can answer it. Or you can just talk about what you thought about the book. Did you like the first couple chapters? I couldn't believe how much different life is for those people in Africa...

      I liked the first chapters. It was sad that the group left Salva in the barn because he was a kid and would slow them down.

      I know! I felt the same way- especially because it seemed like it was likely he could be hurt or killed by staying behind.

      Great Question! I think I would ask him how he continued to go on without know what happened to his family... I wonder what was going through his mind? Did he have a feeling they were ok, or not ok? I can't even imagine how he felt...
