Its tragic that this is true but this is what the world has came to.In the text Going to School as a Refugee the main issue for SB was he couldn't speak the language so he was always lost in school and always made fun of for being different than everyone else. Every refugee struggles with this problem because they flee their country to different one with a different language.

Since they don't know how to speak the language they can't make friends so they are always lonely, the only people they can talk to is other refugees that speak their language or their family.

She couldn't be picky because the she got were very limited because she wasn't rich her dad was captured and never came home.

Imagine not having a safe spot. A place where you don't feel protected. A place where you're not frightened. A place where you're not scared of dying if you don't leave immediately. In Refugee by Alan Gratz three characters are refugees in different times, going through the same experience of fleeing the life they knew. The 1930’s: Josef, a Jewish boy living through the Holocaust, must flee Germany on a ship headed to Cuba. 1994: Isabel, a Cuban girl living through riots and protests, flees Cuba on a makeshift boat after the Soviet Union collapsed. 2015: Mahmoud, a Syrian boy living through the Syrian Civil War, must leave Syria with his family after his home is bombed. All three of these realistic characters are experiencing the same journey,

America is the land of freedom and opportunity. It is a place where anyone can take refuge from harm and pursue their own dreams. However, the novel, The Refugees, by Viet Thanh Nguyen, portrays another perspective of being a refugee in the United States. The retelling of him becoming accustomed to America practices indicated that he faced an identity crisis. Specifically, he faces a contentious dilemma concerning how he would strike a balance between seeing himself as a person of Vietnamese heredity or of his American lifestyle. He amplifies the significance of this issue through the inquiry of certain practices of the community, his mixed views about fighting Communism, and his interactions with his family.

In Germany, the Catholic Church has a portion of the population consisting of 25.2 million. The Protestant Church, has 24.5 million members. The two churches make up more than three-fifths of the population. The Muslims number is approximately 4 million, with 226,000 Shia, 400,000 Alevis, and 2.6 million Sunnis. Germany has about 2,600 Islamic places of worship, including 150 traditional mosques (Germany, N.d.). Muslim populations continue to rise, especially with the conflict occurring in Syria which is displacing thousands of families. More than 6 billion euros are being set aside to house for 800,000 new refugee applicants this year. Germany is planning to take in 500,000 more for several years to come. This amount represents 1% of Germany’s population (Shubert, 2015). Not everyone in Germany is open to the idea of refugees coming into the nation and it is sparking up conflict between the citizens and the newcomers. When the chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, informed the nation that they would be taking in this amount of refugees, Germans who strongly opposed this decision burnt down a refugee shelter that ended up hospitalizing many of the individuals taking refuge inside (Shubert, 2015). Taking in refugees into the country is forcing the people of strong national identity to come forth and combat the intake of lesser political identities in the refugees. This kind of national pride is being started by right-wing extremists who believe that bringing in so many

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.

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.

Did you know that 1 out of 100 people worldwide have been pushed out of their own home because of war. That is a lot of people who are forced out of their own home. No one should be pushed out of their own home they either bought or built on their own time. They put all that hard work into something that was supposed to protect them and shelter them. Now since they were pushed out they can’t even have it anymore. They are struggling and we need to help them fight to stay alive and help them to make sure they are the ones controlling their lives and not someone else. Sure if we allowed them in it might cause some problems like maybe having a terrorist attack or maybe bring some disease. Some of those problems most likely won’t happen but there always might be a chance but they need us right now and we should be their to help them. Sure some of them might be dangerous or pose a threat to us but not all people are bad. They might bring some dangerous like a disease but not everyone is ill and not all of them will have the disease are want to hurt. Most likely they will be nice and accepting.. The United States should accept refugees because they are struggling to stay alive , they need our help and they are waking up to war everyday.

I find myself often remembering almost everything about other people. As well as remembering, I put their needs before my own. Making sure they are comfortable and happy. This leads me to go the extra mile for them. I helped in a very important church service project. There was a refugee family that my church was sponsoring to pay for housing and living necessities. We coordinated a successful yard sale and raised money to buy this family the many things they needed. The joyful tears of the family, made this service worth all the hard work and planning. I was a part of organizing a eventful birthday party. When I was younger, I helped plan a surprise birthday party for my brother. We got a bounce house, cake, balloons, and of course presents.
