How were Salva and Nya's experiences different in Ch 7 and 8?

The main difference between Nya and Slava's experiences can be found in the war torn country Salva is forced to flee. Salva lives in a time when his country is affected by conflict. Because of this, he is forced to leave the only home he ever knew and to live on the run for years, moving from one refugee camp to another. The war affected Sudan so much that it no longer mattered if those killed were women and children, and boys and young men were often swept up into fighting they did not want to take part in. The novel shows just how much war affects society and how the people living in a society change when their lives are in danger.
