THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY by Erik Larson is a well-researched book. In order for Larson to accurately depict the events that were presented in the book, he did a lot of research. Larson visited the Graceland cemetery where many of Chicago’s elite’s from that time were enshrined. In the book itself, he included about 35 pages of citations.

In a small town outside of metro Atlanta, each year, at least 1,500 refugees settle in the city of Clarkston to start a new beginning at life. Refugees from Bhutan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Liberia, and Vietnam come in waves from every corner of the globe. Lately there has been an increasingly number of refugees from the Congo, due to the civil war that has been ongoing for many years. Currently, there is a population of 13,000 individuals who have made Clarkston their home away from home. We ask, what brings the refugees to this little city? Many wonder how this has happened, how Clarkston has developed its own little cultural sense of identity? Refugees started settling in Clarkston back in the early 1990's, and it's been the resettlement hub ever since. The reason so many refugees settled in Clarkston, Georgia is due to the low- income based apartments, easy access to public transit and it’s near the interstate, which can take you to any part of Atlanta.

The article, “Refugees: Who, Where, and Why” by Catherine Gevert is about different refugees in the world, where they are from and why they became refugees in the first place. The first concept the author talked about was, around the world, many refugees have had to flee, to escape to safety after being mistreated in their own country. Refugees are protected by law and given basic civil rights when going to different countries.

Many refugees go here for asylum. Furthermore, some reasons people can become refugees are because of, war and “ethnic cleansing”, also known

The Proclamation Line of 1763 forbid them from moving to the land.

This is the second book to a court of thorns and roses by Sarah J Maas, which I would highly recommend. The first book is a retelling of the fairy tale beauty and the beast. While the first one was amazing in my opinion, the second one was even better. If you haven't read the first one yet, you need to. And if you read the first, but not the second you need to. And if you haven’t read either one of them then you need to stop reading now and leave. I’m serious these books are amazing and you don’t want to be spoiled.

Have you ever wondered about ever being a refugee? Did you wonder what a refugee even is?

This essay is about the universal refugee experience and the hardships that they have to go through on their journey. Ha from Inside Out and Back Again and other refugees from the article “Children of War” all struggle with the unsettling feeling of being inside out because they no longer own the things that mean the most to them.

No one is prepared for war and the most challenging decisions you will have to make to survive. Although each character in Refugee, by Alan Gratz, is from a different time and place, they each share similar hardships and challenges in their experiences, such as they were all forced from their homes, they all lose a family member, and their problems begin in their own country.

Refugees go through a lot when fleeing home, including leaving behind favorite food. According to the novel it states, “ Brother Quang forces a swallow before explaining we are used to fresh-killed chicken that roamed the yard” (Lai 120). In this quote it demonstrates that Brother Quang is missing the food, and like most of the refugees don't get adapted to the food from their new countries. Also, the refugees that are able to leave their home country, They leave behind family, friends, and love ones. In the text it states, “But i miss my friends in Sarajevo… Sometimes i wish I’d stayed there, watching the war, rather than being here, safe, but without friends”(Brice 26). In this quote it shows how the children that left home country are missing their loved ones and adults do so too. Furthermore, most refugees like Brother Quang leave behind their studies just to go to safety. According to “Ten Borders” it states, “I just want to get back to my engineering studies”(Schmidle 4). This evidence leads me to understand that the refugees were almost professionals and most were already professional but the war took away that privilege to become successful in their home country. These evidence shows that most of the refugees miss a trait from their home country that their new country just doesn't

What if you could live in the world of the faeries for all of your human life? “A Court of Thorns and Roses,” by Sarah J Maas, is a gripping fantasy series about family, friendships, and of love. I picked up this book as a suggestion from mom to pass time and 13 hours later I had a numb bottom and a finished book in my hands. I was utterly hooked from the first page to the last. It is a compelling new twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast storyline where the main character makes many sacrifices for the betterment of her family, friends, and humanity itself. Ultimately falling in love with the wrong person at the right time and then the right person at an even better time. The imaginative characters come together to battle through epic trials and to conquer unspeakable odds. Maas uses her vivid descriptions of beauty, sacrifice and true courage to enthrall the readers making it impossible to put down. Maas’s incorporation of mythology and folklore from our world into her book allows you to build a personal relationship with the characters and a feeling of comradery. The BCCB reviews the series as “Elements from 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'East o' the Sun, West o' the Moon,' the myth of Persephone, and the legend of Tamlin are seamlessly interwoven with clever allusions, while the faerie world is resplendent in its initial beauty and then horrific in the brutality Feyre later encounters.”
