“The 100-day Nightmare by Kizito Kalima” about the Tutsis is worse than the Salvas story in "A Long Walk to Water" by Linda Sue Park because they face genocide and discrimination against their people. After the government, which was controlled by the Hutus, started a civil war and sent out a list of Tutsis to kill while also handing out machetes and clubs to further push the violence, the government was corrupt, people were dying, kids were being orphaned, women and children are also dying, and the government is also helping kill the Tutsis. Salvas's story is just about him walking—not nearly as bad as getting hunted down and beat to death with clubs because your name was on the news. Tons of people died, suffered, and were enslaved by the

At the start of my journalistic investigation I stumbled upon a 2010 documentary by the explorer Wes Skiles titled Water’s Journey. The short film is available online free of charge and follows a scientific team of four as they traverse the Florida aquifer in real time. The goal of their mission was to explore and extensively map the inside of the Florida Aquifer for the first time. The four individuals on this groundbreaking mission included Tom Morris, a cave explorer and biologist, Jill Heinerth, a technical dive specialist, the Wes Skiles, and electromagnetics expert Brian Pease. Pease designed a revolutionary transmitter that was able to send signals through Florida’s solid rock and water below, which allowed for him and Skiles on the surface to actively track Morris and Heinerth as they explored the depths below.

In the book A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park one of our characters are leaders that have to go through very dangerous things on his journeys. One of the main themes in this book is dangerous situations make people leaders. Salva and Uncle Jewiir both end up being leaders somewhere in the book, but I think that Uncle Jewiir becoming the leader is more important. One page thirty four Uncle Jewiir came to Salva’s group to help get everyone safely to the refugee camp. Uncle became the leader because he had been working in the army so he was able to take his gun with him, so he can shoot food for everyone in the group. Uncle Jewiir was a very good leader and he always tried motivating everyone to keep going and get to the final detonation

Children of War this book goes through a war and shows what it was like for many people who were in Iraq and could not get out or wasn't able too. It tells and shows what the people and children had went through when they were stuck in Iraq while the war was going on.

In conclusion the book the color of water I enjoyed very much because most books will just have one kind of point of view but this book had a child and his mother and to figure out some history from both sides makes it interesting, and the certain chapters I talked about in the story is what I found was most important and interesting and I believe most people would agree, and this is a book I would highly

Linda Sue Park created Nya in “A long Walk To water because it represents every girl/women’s life in her village. Also, it tells about women rights in Sudan.To begin with, every female has to get water for the family. This is because chapter four states “ When she was done, she took the bowl back inside. Her mother was nursing the baby, Nya’s little brother. ‘Take Akeer with you, She needs to learn”(page 20). This quote shows that in Nya’s culture, a girl has to learn about getting water at a young age.
