Uncle Jewiir

This week I had to write an essay about a character I found interesting from the Novel A Long Walk To Water, and the character i found interesting was Uncle Jewiir, and the reason why i chose Uncle Jewiir is in the essay. 

In the Novel A Long Walk To Water, by Linda Sue Park"a character I found interesting was Salva's brave, thoughtful Uncle. Uncle Jewiir, he was the character who hooked me into the story because he is a great leader and independent. Uncle Jewiir was very interesting because he was always leading a big group of people. I really thought that Uncle Jewiir was a great leader, and he had so much bravery, and he was thoughtful.

A character trait I thought was perfect for Uncle Jewiir was bravery. When Salva feared the lion that killed a friend of Salva's, Uncle Jewiir helped Salva through the lion incident when maybe Uncle Jewiir was also scared himself. When no one wanted to lead the big of 50-100 people, Uncle Jewiir was brave enough to lead that group. Every night Uncle Jewiir would go hunting for himself Salva and also the large groups of people, Uncle Jewiir was thee only person with a gun, and Uncle Jewiir was brave enough to go out into the dark by himself, to hunt for food.

When Uncle Jewiir was leading a group of people through the desert, he could see small group of men, they all had guns in there hands, the two groups of people both interacted, the small group of men told thee other group to get on the ground. The leader of group of men stripped Uncle Jewiir's gun from his hands, and thew Uncle Jewiir against a tree, all the men were going to kill all of the people, but Uncle Jewiir didn't let them, and Uncle Jewiir was so thoughtful he said, "no kill me instead. One of the men from the group killed Uncle Jewiir, Salva was so sad that one of those men killed Salvas last bit of family.

I also thought that leadership was a great character trait for Uncle Jewiir because, he was always leading large groups of people through out the whole story. When Salva was eleven years of age he left Sudan because of the rebels that started a war with the government, once he left there was also a large group of people, everybody didn't like Salva, because the group of people thought that he will just slow everybody down. But when Uncle Jewiir found that group of people. Uncle Jewiir became the leader of the group because he was the only person with a gun, but when everyone found out that Salva was the nephew of Uncle Jewiir everyone started to treat Salva with respect.

Overall Uncle Jewiir was brave, thoughtful, and a awesome leader, Uncle Jewiir showed that he was also really protective the way he protected Salva, he also showed that he was hardworking, because it would of been really hard for him to go hunt himself Salva and also the large groups of people.
