I Want To Meet Salva
I would like to meet Salva because, he was thru more of the war. He had to do a lot of things with people he didn’t know to escape the war. He met a little boy. He talked to but the boy didn’t talk much back to him. Salva really missed his family he really wanted to see his family again.

I would ask Salva how it was on his journey to escape the war without his family. I would also ask him if he had much to eat because there was a lot of women, children, and men they had to feed. I would ask what he had to drink besides the lake water. I would ask him what he did for fun when he was on his journey to leave the war. Also if he made friends other then the boy.

I think Salva would respond his he didn’t really make friends because, he was moving

Chris Kyle is a Navy seal from team 3, and is one of the best snipers to live taking down 160 enemies. When he died, I was sad, I would ask him what inspired him to be a US navy seal.

    Salva ran into many obstacles; pain- emotional and physical. However, his biggest obstacle was losing his friends and family. At the beginning of Salva’s story, Salva’s emotions were so wired by the worry for his family that he could not understand a soldier’s motions and mistook them to be the signal for death. This shows how difficult losing family was to Salva and how it affected his life. Shortly after this situation, Salva underwent the death of his friend Marial. The author describes this like so, “Salva shook with terror inside and out. He clung to Uncle like a baby or a little boy, hanging on to his hand or shirttail when he could, never letting Uncle get farther than an arm’s length away. He looked around constantly: every movement in the go: every movement in the grass was a lion stalking, every stillness a lion waiting to spring,’’ (pg.40). This excerpt shows Salva’s fear caused by losing his only friend on the journey. His fear was so great, that Uncle had to practically drag him forward. This also shows Sava’s dependence on his family and friends and the impact their loss had on him. Linda Sue Park describes this mutualism well to the point, “If it hadn’t been for Uncle, Salva might have gone crazy with fear,” (pg.…

    I would talk to him about why he betrayed America and how he could have been a great hero. I do not think he would enjoy hearing about my life because my life is boring compared to his. Arnold likes danger and adventure, though he might enjoy some of my math classes. My favorite character is Margaret Mansfield, because she is so shy and kind, even though she is sometimes taken for granted by Arnold she can get strict like when she thought Arnold had an affair with a Caribbean woman so he had to sleep on the couch until they could rule it all…
