Refugee And Immigrant Children: An Analysis

All Refugees are always treated bad at first, but then they finally get accepted into their new home. When a refugee moves to another country a lot of people pick on them just because they are different. Then, at the end of everything nobody is being a bully or picking on anybody everybody is getting along. When Ha gets use to her new school, and stands up to a bully nobody is bullying her, and everybody is is being nice. “Someone is always saving a seat for me, Pam, and Steven” (Lai 229). This is a good quote because it shows that everybody wants to sit with Ha, and her friends. “ I will write in my journal Oct. 14 is most relived day” (Lai 185). This quote tells you that she had an amazing day, and she is getting use to the

Refugees, like Ha, came across many challenges on their journey, It was a traumatic experience for all, people lost their homes, friends, family and their lives. An example from the book inside out and back again say,“head whirls breath stinks for days.”(Lia)They don't have the resources to be clean and that's not the their biggest priority. Another example from the book is, ”food and water are provided but rationed.”(Gevert)There's so many refugees in one little area they don't have enough food or water to feed all of them. A quote from the article Refugees Who, where, why says,“Three civilians were killed three others are wounded last night when an explosion ripped through a crowded food market.”(Gevert) You always need to be aware of your

Ha and the refugee's life is turning inside out because they were forced to leave everything behind and were forced to leave the country.Here is some quotes and what they mean from the book Inside out and BackAgain and information text Refugee: Who, Where, and why. ¨More than 14 million men, women, and children have been forced to flee their homes towns, and countries because they are afraid to stay,¨(Refugee: Who,Where, and Why by Catherine Gevert, page 9). The refugees fled their homes to get out of

The proper spoken language is not the only priority that is needed to a full adaption and adjustment for a refugee, but they must accommodate to the community and food. The novel proclaims, “I don’t know where to sit any more than I know how to eat...” (Lai 144). Ha is struggling to fit into the puzzle just as other refugees battle similar experiences, yet this is only in the beginning that they will encounter the difficulties of another country. Subsequently, when they adapt to the environment struggles will vanquish and they will twist back to their normal lives as Ha’s life at the end of their journey and

Refugees are people who have no choice but to flee their homes because of either war, persecution or natural disaster. But even if they have different reasons of fleeing, they usually go through the same thing. Misfortunes, hardships and sacrifices are some of the things refugees around the world have to go through. Ha, the main character from the book Inside Out, shows some of those. But Ha also shows how those hardships change her throughout the book. She didn’t get along with her brothers before they had to leave Vietnam. She always wanted to find ways to get at her brothers and try to anger them. She also used to get angry right away, just like when she didn’t get what she wanted, she started to get angry and get what it was or do what it was that she wanted. She always thought of herself first, and did whatever she

Ha’s life is turned inside out when the war is coming near her home, which leads to her family moving to America. The experience that Ha is going through is similar to what refugees have to go through. “Refugees are every day who are forced to flee their homes because they are afraid to stay in their home country” (Model Essay). Articles like, “Children of War,” and “Refugees: Who, Where, Why,” explain what refugee children have to go through when they are forced to leave their homes. Before Ha left her home, she was a playful, careless, easy-going girl, and selfish.

Ha, from the book “Inside Out and Back Again”, and the refugees from the “Children of War” and “Refugees: Who, Where, Why” articles have both faced the feeling of inside out due to challenges of bullying and discrimination. According to this quote will show you that bullying/discrimination happens to refugee and immigrants everyday “They Chase me…” (215) according to this quote bullying is taking place and Ha is telling us that she is getting chased. Also discrimination is a challenge this quote shows it “My encounter society’s Discrimination and racism” This quote shows Discrimination and racism. In addition one last quote from the inside out is “Pancake-face” (197) this shows bullying because pink boy is calling Ha Pancake-face which is very

Refugees are common everyday people, that are forced to flee their home because they are trying to get away from the political problems, war, religious persecution, and for many other reasons. While fleeing home refugees are turned “inside out” because they leave love one’s behind, jobs, memories, and even their culture. When refugees turn “back again” they start their lives all over and learn a new language, do different jobs, and live in different environments. In the novel “Inside Out and Back Again” by Thanhha Lai, Ha is a 10 year-old girl, that her life has turned “inside out” like many refugees, while she is fleeing home because she left behind her culture and lifestyle. However, after Ha got to Alabama she starts to learn a new

Ha and the refugees that are immigrating to the U.S. where they are all hoping to flee from the war back home in Vietnam, the refugees do not know that they will encounter many challenges such as discrimination and bullying along the way to the american dream.Ha is being bullied at school and she claims that, “They pulled my arm hair, they threw rocks at me, they promised to stomp on my chest.”Lai, (151).Furthermore this explains how Ha is being bullied because she is different from the other children in the U.S. the author uses the example that they threw rocks at me to explain what they did to her. Furthermore the pilgrims had to go through a lot, “They had fled to America because of religious persecution in their homeland”Gevert (2). This

Many refugees are faced with a copious amount of hardships but one that is practically universal is the racism and discrimination refugees face. In “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison” the author writes, “Both refugee and immigrant children may encounter society’s discrimination and racism…” This quote blatantly states that refugee and immigrant children are discriminated against. A scenario that perfectly matches the mentioned quote from “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison” is when Ha says, “...when they ask if I eat dog meat…when they wonder if I lived in the jungle with tigers...”(168 Lai) This shows that many Americans had unjust and insulting stereotypes towards the refugees of Vietnam. Another perfect example

Ha’s life as a refugee is a life experience is something that only the strong can go through, and her entire family made it. When refugees flee home, it is because of fear that their family will be torn apart by the war when they leave home, family, friends, memories, basically the perspective of the person is leaving what they desired. Then when they finally do find a home, (not all), they are greeted with new challenges, one of many is that acceptance in their new home, some people probably don’t want to make a living in their new home, “But life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not”. But when people turn “inside out” they feel empty inside and everything is useless, they have to start over from square one and become “back again”. When they become happy again and accept what has happened to them, so they can move forward in life. This book is mostly about a girl with her family who was in a war, so they left of fear of being torn apart by the war because they will be safer than where they are at in the moment, Saigon Vietnam, but are greeted with challenges in the Alamba U.S.A.

After migration when they reach a safe country they do not know how to react. Many refugees suffer from depression and PTSD from witnessing the loss of their leaders or loved ones and even from witnessing mass killings, causing them to be distant and not make any effort to get help. They do not understand involvement in their community when they have reached a safe location. The refugee groups stay together and do not against each other fearing one will or could be killed. At refugee camps, many make the camp a big family from hearing and understanding other victims stories, creating bonds.

When refugees flee home, they can’t live their life like they used to. For example when He had to flee her home she had left many meaningful things. She had left her father’s things which meant a lot to her and her family because they would hope that one day he’ll come back. In the novel it states “ Mother chooses ten and burns the rest”. This quote from page 58 demonstrates that they wouldn’t live their life like they used to because they are permanently erasing memories that they had left from Ha’s dad. In addition this explains that refugees can’t live their life they used to before because it's not like being home .Another example that demonstrates that Ha was affected when she had to flee her home is not being able to eat food while they were in the ship because they weren’t able to cook anything. In the novel it states “Hard and moldy,yet chewy and sweet inside”. This quote

Belonging in society is challenging for specific groups of people and they can be demoralised by this greatly and that can have a huge effect on their working life or social life but after being accepted or being resilient, their life can become much better. In The Happiest Refugee Anh Do overcomes exclusion is various ways after he has fled from his own country to Australia. Sometimes Anh is affected by the ostracisation by some people in the new community that he has become a part of in Australia.

Many refugees, including Ha around the world face challenges that cause them to have an impression of feeling inside out, such as language barriers. In the book Inside Out & Back Again By: Thanhha lai, Ha has language difficulties when moving to the U.S. “I’m getting better at hissing” ( Lai, 123). For many people learning English it can be very difficult, such things like add s to verbs acted by one person, even if there's already an s sound nearby. Ha is having a hard time during school with adding the s but she is getting better. Also in the article Til Gurung Speech he talks about the same problems with the English Language. “Many of us do not speak English” (Gurung). When refugees arrive in the U.S. many of them do not speak English.
