My Essay-A Long Walk To Water

Salva

In the novel'A Long Walk to Water' By Linda Sue Park, a character that I found interesting was a boy called Salva. Throughout the story Salva showed that he was Happy, Hardworking and a Leader but it cost him a lot. He went through many hardships and suffering to get to where he is today.

Salva was especially happy when he got to go to New York. He found a new family and started a new life in the city. He was overwhelmed with joy when he found out his dad was alive. He went through heaps of hardships to get to him. Including heaps of paper work patience money and preparation. Salva was happy because of how much luck was coming to him after so much pain and suffering and is finally able to see his father and family and help others and is free of his on going struggle.

Salva proved that he was a hard worker in many ways. Including how he made the project that helped millions of people in south Sudan. He always helped his father and never complained. He helped an old lady without question and managed to survive to go to New York where he made the project that saved millions of people and even helped other tribes even though they were having an on going war. Salva is one of the best role models and is a great leader. Salva was hardworking because of the way he was raised and what happened in the last few years. Through the pain and suffering came knowledge and he has had lots of pain.

Salva is a great leader without question. He managed to lead 1500 CHILDREN across the whole of Ethiopia to Kenya and even managed to make it there. Sadly, not all of them survived. He was responsible and gave all the kids jobs to do to keep them alive. Even though he was one kid who was scared without his family and didn't know what to do. He made a project to help all the people in South Sudan by making heaps of wells to give the people heaps of water and even helped other tribes despite their hate for each other. Salva is a great leader because of how his life has shaped him and all the events led to him becoming a leader. His father definitely had a great effect on him because he couldn't have done it without the memories of his father and uncle guiding him.

Overall, Salva is a great person. He has helped millions of people survive in south Sudan and is a huge hero in the whole world he has inspired heaps of people around the globe and will always be an iconic hero. I think overall Salva is one of my favourite iconic heroes and forever will be because of how great he is and what struggles he has under gone on to get to this position.
