A Long Walk to Water

In Socila Studies class we started reading a fascinating book titled A Long Walk to Water. So far my group and I is 8 chapters into the book and some deep events has happened. Right Now, Salva has been walking to a better place because a war broke out from the recent days, and he still can't find his family since the war broke out when he was at school. Salva has joined a group that is heading to the country of Sudan, the process of going there was hard, he had lost his friend during that time. The good new was that, his uncle found him so Salva still has someone to look out for him. I am wondering do you think that Salva will retreat back into his country to find his family or just keep on going with the group?
