What Is The Relationship Between Salva And Nya's Journey

383 Words1 Page

During Salva’s and Nya’s journey the environment played a big part. Salva is a person who is looking for his parents because his village was attacked when he was young. Salva is on a journey to find his family. Nya is a girl who makes a 4-hour trip twice a day to get water for her and her family. The heat affected Nya and Salva by dehydrating them. So Nya and Salva had to drink more water because it's hotter. It was very barren and it made the journey easier to walk because you could see very far away and there was little vegetation. The sun would be very annoying on a long journey because there is little shade and it makes it hard to see. Salva and Nya´s journey would be agonizing because you have little water and it is very hot.

    According to the narrator of Sula, Sula’s meeting with Nel is “fortune” because the two girls find a soul mate in one another. Both of them are “daughters of distant mothers and incomprehensible fathers”(Sula 52).

  • Clean Water Essay

    There are many countries that are located in dried up areas which are the hottest areas in the world. Some of the countries located on the earth’s equator are surrounded by desert and the majority of the land consists mostly of sand which does not hold water. There are not enough trees to absorb water during rainy season. In some areas, there is no rain for several years. The temperature is very high during the dry season. Jay W. Sharp states in his article The Sahara Desert, the temperature in desert areas are extremely hot. The average temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and it can reach 136 degrees Fahrenheit. For example, Sudan, where Nya lives, is generally extremely hot and dry because the country has no forest and is surrounded by the Sahara Desert, the second largest hot desert in the world and covering many countries that include Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and others. Similarly, in the book A Long Walk to Water, Nya finds water every day for the family. During the summer, there is no water in the pond near her village, so she has to move to the big lake. Even at the lake, it is still dried up, too. Because water is essential, she has to dig into the clay to get the water, but it is unhealthy, and it is the cause of disease and death. Nya’s little sister, Akeer, had stomachaches because of drinking unclean water. There are many people who suffer from the same illness, and many of them have died. In these countries in this area, it is hard to find water. Even if it was found, it is still undrinkable
