I will be talking about the book called Inside Out and Back Again. It is about a girl named Ha little girl that is forced to flee her home, but she finds a new home and she starts a whole new life. A universal refugee experience is what refugees go through like Ha. They get forced to flee their home and they go to a refugee camp or they find a new place in a different country and start a new life. An example of a universal refugee experience is they are forced to move away because there is a war, they go to a new house and start a new life. Ha is a kind little girl that loves a papaya tree and she worries about if she will ever see her father again.
In the book Inside Out and Back Again. they have to find a new home and they need to start their lives all over again because they got forced out of their home. An example of in the book about the first sentence is Page: 4 The Ching Teller of Fate says their lives are going to turn inside out. Page: 68 People run and scream communists, our ships dip low while people run left. This shows that they have to flee their home because they are getting pushed out by communists. In the article (Refugee Who,Where, and Why) in

They can start over and just find a new life and it can be better and they know they will be OK. Page: 115, “ Our cowboy who never takes off his tall, tall hat delivers us to his huge house, where grass spreads out so green it looks painted.” This shows that there lives are going inside out and back again like the title says, and right now there lives are back again. They are starting their lives all over now. In the Refugee Who, where, and Why some of them are lucky and they can get a home and start all over again. Ha’s family was lucky they got a house. Some families don’t get homes and have to go to refugee camps. In this paragraph it shows that some refugees get out of camps or don’t have to go there and they find a home and they start all over on the
Do you know what Refugees are what they do how they live and how they survive. Refugees are people that have to leave there home all because of war, they have to leave and find new ones far away. 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. The title of the book makes you wonder a little by the words inside out and back again, the author Thanhha Lai had a good idea for making this book for a history lesson. Refugees like Ha and her family turn back again when they find better home like Ha she stared understanding more.
Ha and her family went through many difficulties throughout the year. For example, in the novel Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai it states “Someone called me Ching Chong” (pg.152). This quote verifies that Ha and he family are having their lives turn “inside out” because Ha can’t fit in with her classmates and she is getting bullied by her classmates. In addition, in the chapter “One Mat Each” is states “Everyone knows the ship could sink” (pg.63). This quote also demonstrates that Ha and her family underwent the universal refugee experience of turning “inside out” because Ha and her family are putting their lives into danger so they can be safe and go to a new
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.
The story of this refugee is similar to Ha’s version of being back again because they both went through hard times, but found something good about the new place where they are
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
Refugees are people that leave their old lives behind to seek asylum in nearby countries because of the terror going on in their own homeland. Ha’s family had to flee Southern Vietnam because the war was drawing near Saigon. Both real-life refugees and Ha had to flee their respective countries and adapt to a whole new place before continuing on with their lives. Refugee children have a hard time becoming accepted by their peers before their community finally figures them out and start to receive them, just like Ha in Thanhha Lai’s Inside Out and Back Again.
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. 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 .
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.
Refugees lives turn inside out and back again. Ha is a prime example of a refugee who lost everything ,and started to make what she had work. Refugee’s lives go inside out due to the fact that their lives are being taken away. In the text it states “ You know, the Hueys …
Intro: Refugees face a far worse life than most people can imagine, and there is no easy way out for them. They first must get out of whatever dangerous place they are in, then travel long distances with almost no resources, and even if they do make it safely to the USA there is a chance they will be sent back or even put in jail. The refugee experience is defined by risks and belonging.
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.
The refugees have now settled down from the war and now they are getting back to their normal lives. Ha has been through so much and now it´s gotten to the end of the war and now she is getting settled trying to get back to her normal life. ¨Our lives will twist and twist, intermingling the old and the new until it doesn’t matter which is which. ”(257) Ha’s life has been turned around and flipped upside down so many times and not she has gotten back to her regular life and is now used getting used to certain things that happen.
Many people must flee their homes. Ha had to leave because she was in a war zone. If her family had stayed she could have died. Til Gurung, a refugee from Bhutan, was forced out of his home because “...we did not speak the language or practice the religion or culture of the royal family.”
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,
