1. The group doesn't want Salva to come along because it's another mouth to feed and he is to young to come with them. I kinda agree with the group because Salva is another mouth to feed. but I also disagree with them because Salva should have a chance to live.

2. Water dictates Nya's by having to wake up every morning and has to walk for ages to get water for her and her family. Something the dictates my life is having good education.

3. Getting honey from the tree, walking for a month with out food and not knowing if he will ever see his family again. I think Salva is doing a good job trying to survive. 

4. Nya is really close to the lake so she doesn't have to walk far. She doesn't have to wake up as early anymore. It is more safe for her now because she doesn't need to walk as far.
