Later in the book Salva and his uncle are robbed by the Nuer tribe and Salva's uncle was tied to a tree and shot three time until he died. I could honestly not live a life without my parents. And Salva is living eating and enjoying time all on his own. I would get robbed and killed on my own. The most remarkable thing is that Salva still has the heart to continue to live after losing his family and seeing his uncle be shot to death. I would have reacted to this situation worse than Salva. Salva is much tougher than me and he has a lot more emotional endurance than most people. Salva is a tough kid and the farther in the book I get the more of a roll model Salva is to me.
