The Importance Of Refugees In The Book 'Inside Out And Back Again'

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

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.

‘The Happiest Refugee’ discusses various concepts including the effects of war, the trauma that refugees experience, their desire to contribute to society and our negative attitudes towards them. After the war, South Vietnamese soldiers and their families were captured by the North Vietnamese Communists and held in labour camps. Some of these prisoners were eventually released (after 1976), however, they had no right to education, employment or government supplied food rations. If Ahn had not left this oppressive environment, he would have grown up in extreme poverty and would be a very different person due to the trauma that

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 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

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

When refugees flee home, they struggle to make difficult decisions. Due to the war, they are forced to leave their home to stay safe. When refugees flee home they also have to leave their priced possessions behind. They also were taken to safety on a boat, which would take them to a camp to find a new home. In the novel “Inside out and Back again” it explained how they were in a boat, and on the boat they weren't provided much to eat and they even had to adapt to not eat much due to the low amount of food and the large amount of people on the boat. “We are told to sip water only when we must so our bodies can stop needing” This shows how they weren't provided with much. They also didn’t have a comfortable place to rest. They had to manage with what

Before war happened in Vietnam Ha was different she was sneaky because when she went to get groceries she would by fried dough for herself, and she was mean because when she would hide her brothers sandals when she got mad at them.

When refugees flee home, they struggle a lot because they don't speak english and might get bullied. When Ha fled her home, she had to learn english, in the text it states “Until you children master English, you must think, do, wish for nothing else.” This means that Ha has still not learned how to speak english., and can not do anything until she learns it. This is almost as same as the universal:refugees because they when they first come to America they don't know english.

This essay is about the universal refugee experience and the hardships that they have to go through on their journey.
