Slide4Slide51. Explain how water dictates (commands, influences, controls) Nya’s life.
Nya’s whole life follows water.
Her family moves for water.
Nya collects, digs, waits and carries to water.
Slide62. How was the honey worth it for Salva and the others in his group? What was the cost?
The group was starving, but they were able to feast on the honey.
However, the cost is all the bee stings.
On page 28, the text states, “…one Dinka man had been stung on his tongue. It was swollen so badly that he could not close his mouth; he could hardly swallow.”
Slide73. What do Salva and Marial have in common? What does it mean that Salva “heard that sigh all the way to his heart?”
Salva
and
Marial
are
both:
without family
speak Dinka
same age
same height
same
length of
stride
(step, walk
)
The sigh represents the depth of their shared feelings and how much they miss their family.
Slide84. Why is Salva dismayed that they are walking to Ethiopia, east? How are the boys good for each other?
Salva
is dismayed (
distraught, discouraged
) they are walking away from his family; how will his family find him out here.
The boys become friends. They support, encourage and laugh with each other.
Slide95. Describe the Atuot people. Would you fear them?
The
Atuot
people are the people of the lion. Their land holds many wildlife including lions. Dinka stories say that when one of the
Atout
dies, he comes back as a lion with great hunger for human flesh, The lions in this region are considered the fiercest. The lions and their roars are frightening to
Salva

Slide11Water Factshttp://www.businessinsider.com/how-many-days-can-you-survive-without-water-2014-5
A
human can go for more than three weeks without
food,
but water is a different story.
The maximum time an individual can go without water seems to be a week — an estimate that would certainly be shorter in difficult conditions, like broiling heat.
However, one week is a generous estimate. Three to four days would be more typical
.
Slide12Slide13Dehydration
Dehydration
is a condition that occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly water, exceeds the amount that is taken in.
With
dehydration, more water is moving out of our cells and bodies than what we take in through drinking.
