Explanation Significance(Importance)

“’Eh, Nephew!’ he said in a cheerful voice. We are together now, so I will look after you.”

Pg. 35Ch. 6

Salva had been travelling alone. One day, he met his uncle, who had been traveling with the same group he was in. Once he met his uncle, he had someone to take care of him and he was much less scared.

This quote shows that family helps people survive in challenging environments. Salva’s uncle helps him in many ways – he helps him find food, he calms his fears, and he encourages him to keep going even when the journey is difficult.
