Duty is an important theme in A Long Walk To Water. The first example of Duty is ¨ Nya would now make her second trip to the pond. Pond and back- to the pond and back- nearly a full day of walking together . This was Nya’s daily routine seven months of the year. Daily. Every single day.” (pg 20).

This is also his duty because if he failed he would disappoint an entire village and Salva doesn't want to do that because he worked so hard on
