His goal: to build the bridge. When that fragile bridge collapsed while they were crossing, it didn't discourage them. Ondeng's thoughts that always remember his father and his fear of being abandoned by his father made Ondeng out of control and did not realize the dangers of taking his own boat to the sea.
