We will continue A Long Walk to Water this week. During the course of the novel, we are taking notes and discussing how one's time, place, and culture influence them. We're also noting survival factors the characters face and how they overcome them. This will lead to a writing exercise later on. The goal is to get through chapter 12 this week.
