What Is The Mla Citation For A Long Walk To Water

A long walk to water, the 2010 New York Times bestseller, is an inspiring short novel by Linda Sue Park, a work of historical fiction. The novel shares the story of two children, a girl named Nya and a boy named Salva. This essay illustrates how the title would fit Nya and Salva’s journeys through two different periods. Throughout the novel, which began in 1985, Salva Mawien Dut Ariik was an 11-year-old Dinka boy. His life seemed like that of a typical boy living a rural life in Southern Sudan.
