Many refugees, like Ha have to face challenges like bullying and discrimination that make them feel inside out. In the book Inside Out and Back Again. Ha gets harassed at school, “...She should be a pancake. She has a pancake face” (Lai 196). The evidence connects because the kids at Ha’s school call her names like pancake face and they make her feel unwanted there. On the other hand in one of the articles, “Both refugee and immigrant children may encounter society´s discrimination and racism” (Fantio). The evidence relates since the refugee children often get told racist comments and discriminating comments. Additionally in Inside Out and Back Again “... pulls my arm hair. Laughter” (Lai 145). The evidence connects because Ha gets her arm
Ha and other refugees are challenged because they face making new decisions like going to school, fitting in with people, and finding home. The first text evidence is, “I hate everyone!!!” (209) Ha has never had to feel this way, the feeling of hatred from people and to them. The next evidence from the article, “Refugees:Who, Where, Why” By Catherine Gevert, states that “Perceptions of unfairness, such as unequal treatment or denial rights based on race, religion, and economic status.” The article explains that people treat the others unfairly with unequal rights because of race, religion, and status. This is similar to how Ha is feeling because people don’t like her from her race and religion. Another text evidence is, “No one would believe
All refugees share similar experiences when adjusting to their new way of life. A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. When they have to move to a new country, they may not know the language. So that is an obstacle for them, learning the new language is very difficult. They also have to cope with the things they no longer have and the different culture. They have to get used to this new place and find their own new normal. In the book Inside Out and Back Again Ha and her family have to deal with all the obstacles that come with becoming a refugee.
Ha’s story is like the refugees in the Til Gurung Speech because those refugees also had hardships that they had to deal with too. “But here in the U.S, my community continues to struggle’, (Til Gurung Speech). Ha’s story is similar to other refugees because the refugees in other stories may also get bullied because they are different. The other refugees also have hard times finding jobs because they don’t have proper education, or have a hard time living in their new place because they don’t know the language. Many refugees are confused
There are approximately 65.6 million refugees in the world and they are probably abandoned or friendless, because their friends either leave the country or are left behind. Sometimes refugees wish they could stayed in their country, watching the war, rather than being at a safe place, but without friends, (Brice). Ha is the main character in the book, Inside Out and Back Again, by Thanhha Lai and is ten years-old. Because of the war, Ha’s best friend, Titi, left her to go to a safer place. Ha is always lonely at her new school, to the point where she would rather be in the war, than being safe too. Refugee children, like Ha, sense the feeling of loneliness and don’t fit in, until they meet people who assist them and make them connect
Have you ever meet a refuge or know someone who escaped their country because of war? When refugees flee their home they need to stay in refugee camps where they get food and shelter but they can't stay there for ever. Refugees go thru many things when they come to America, one thing is they don't know english and they struggle to communicate. Another thing is that the kids might get bullied because they come from another place or of there religion. Ha life is similar to the universal:Refugees life because she was a refugee and she got bullied in school because where she came from. Ha’s life and the universal:Refugees life have been affected wich that make there life inside out.
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
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. Ha and the other refugees all encounter similar curiosities of overcoming the finding of that back again peaceful consciousness in the “new world” that they are living in .
Ha, from the book Inside Out and Back Again and the refugees from “Children of War” both experienced the feeling of inside out by having to learn a new language and culture. An example of this comes from the following quote, “Brother Quang speaks quickly in the language I must learn” (Lai 95) This quote shows that Ha didn’t learn english yet and the only one that know the language is brother Quang. From the article “Children of War” these children are refugees moving to the U.S.“And then suddenly they tried to kill me...” (Emir) They tried to kill her because of her culture and religion.
Refugee children who feel alone can have low self esteem and feel a sense of sadness. All children want to be accepted by their peers (Fantino and Colak). When a community helps a refugee it makes big impact in their life (Gurung). Everyone deserves to be treated equally despite their differences. Many of us look at differences on the outside, rather than what the person is like on the inside. Ha, in the novel Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai, was like many refugees, when she felt alone in her new community. Ha had a hard time finding friends that would accept her differences. Once Ha found her first friends, Pam and Steven, her whole life took a positive turn. She discovered the only way to feel connected to America is to let someone in. Ha, like other refugees, felt disconnected until her peers and community started to accept her.
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.

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
There are tons of articles about the refugee experience of fleeing and finding a home.

In the book Inside out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai the main character is a 10 year old girl named Ha. Since the war came to her village she had to put her childhood aside and be a grownup. 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.
