Did you know that according to the Un refugee Agency’s annual Global Trends study found that 65.6 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide at the end of 2016- a total bigger than the population of the united kingdom and about 300,000 more than last year. ? 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. When war comes to their village some of their family members die because if they dont agree with whats going on the communists or the army will kill them and move on. 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. 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. Like Ha, refugees are turned “inside out” when the war is coming to their village which means they have to flee their country and it means that they have to restart their

In the book Inside Out and Back Again, Ha’s life gets flipped around, similar to most refugees. They move from place to place trying to find a safe haven. If they cannot find a new home they lose hope. Their lives turn back to normal again because they feel accepted and welcome in a new country; therefore, resembling the “back again” in the title. A refugee’s experience becomes an “Inside Out” world because they leave home, lose hope and live a better life.

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.

The life of refugees is rougher than you think. Ha is the main character in the novel Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai. Ha is just a 10 year old girl who lived in Saigon, South Vietnam. Ha lived when the Vietnam war was still going on. Her family was poor and going through bad times. Ha´s and the refugee's life will turn Inside out then turn back again.

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.

Ha from Inside Out and Back Again and other refugees from the article “Children of War” all experience the same upsetting feeling of being inside out because they have lost everything familiar to them. One way that they feel inside out because of the loss of their possessions is in the poem “Last Respects” it states, “Brother Khoi nods and I smile, but I regret not having my doll as soon as the white bundle sinks into the sea.” (Lai 86). Ha goes through a struggle when she gives up her doll, the one possession that she was allowed to take with her as they were leaving, to help her brother and give him comfort for the loss his chick. Another way that represents the universal refugee experience of feeling inside out because of loosing everything is that in “Children of War” it explains, “Everything completely changed. One minute we had everything, then we had nothing.” (Brice). Plainly it is stated that the people in the Bosnia at that

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.

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.

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.
