Warren St. John's Outcasts United: Refugees

Had Jeannette never experienced poverty, had she never had to make do with what she had, she would never have thought to create her own braces. Hence, because poverty forces her to manage with the little she has throughout all of her childhood, Jeannette gains resourcefulness. Poverty’s final gift to Jeannette and her siblings is the desire to survive. Throughout her childhood, Jeannette is forced to survive. She must survive burns from a freak accident and cuts from falling out of a car. She must survive constant moving around and repeated incidents with sexual predators. All of these incidents instill in Jeannette a desire to survive. As a junior in high school, Jeannette flees to New York City where she finishes high school and begins college. Jeannette works hard to support herself but eventually runs out of money. Instead of quitting and falling through the cracks, Jeannette works harder; she refuses to give up and continues to live her life in the face of difficult circumstances. Thus, the Jeannette Walls’ memoir The Glass Castle changed my views about poverty by revealing that poverty can produce more than negative outcomes; it can foster resiliency, ingenuity, and a desire to succeed.

Since the story uses a certain object, the Jacket, as the meaning of several issues, it primarily focuses on the narrator's poverty-stricken family. First of all, an example of the poverty is demonstrated when the narrator complains that the jacket "was so ugly and big that I knew I'd have to wear it a long time"(paragraph 3). It is clear that his lack of money was a problem in which he

Similarily examined in GBTWYCF, the participant’s genuine “refugee experience” allows them to identify social understanding about the fact of other people’s lifestyles and how they withstand the most severe of individual adversities. An extensive structure taken of Raye weeping followed by a remote taken of the moon enhances her concern towards Maisara “I’ve had issues holding child birth through…I do know where she’s arriving from…” examines how by your same circumstances as others, people are able to empathise.

This can be seen all through the practices, competition trials, and Olympic races in which George Pocock’s words ring true every time. It is during the final Olympic race in which the boys realized, “that they needed to do what was impossible, to go even higher. Somewhere, deep down inside, each of the grades at shreds of will and strength they did not know they possessed,” (Brown, 350). Giving the reader a look at how these men have to put aside everything and focus on pushing themselves through the hardest race of their lives, shows the hopes and dreams that they all share to gain what others thought might be

Clarkston, Georgia is a small town on the outskirts of Atlanta, home to many refugees from around the world. These refugees all migrated to Clarkston for many different reasons including war and diseases. For about the last twenty years Clarkston’s refugees have expanded to roughly one third of its population. This migration has caused many cultural differences as well as struggling businesses and racial discrimination. Author Warren Saint John discusses many challenges due to this migration through the Fugees, a soccer team of refugee boys. Outcasts United is a story showing that in order for a community of very different cultures to coexist there must be acceptance and compromises made by both the natives and the refugees so that they can all live in peace.

In Warren St. John’s Outcasts United, the reader witnesses the struggles Luma Mufleh faces as she tries to get a suitable soccer field for her soccer teams composed of refugee immigrants from nations ravaged with war and terrorism; the conflicts she faces allows the reader to examine the changes (or lack thereof) that are happening/have happened across the world, even in our own hometowns. Without a doubt, the people of Clarkston are reluctant to accept the change that was beginning to envelope the town and that is the attitude that exemplifies the xenophobia that locks the closed minds of many Americans today. Truly, Luma would have had fewer problems acquiring the field necessary for the team to safely practice had they been a group of white

Once said by Socrates, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Change is exactly what Luma planned to do when it came to the refugee children whom she was coaching. It became apparent that people, much like the children, tend to gravitate towards others with a similar background like Luma whom was an immigrant herself. However, once the game of soccer began, eleven kids from eleven different countries came together and played the game as if they were a common unit. Ultimately, With the refugees coming from another world, it became difficult for them to adapt due to their previous lifestyle.

The theme of this book Where The Red Fern Grows By wilson Rawls. This quote really shows how hard Billy works and how determined he is. “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” The professional athlete Pele said this about soccer but still ties in to my theme.

The experiences of the SJ, Lucy, and Wesley Williams in, The City of Refuge are deeply penetrating. Their experiences overflow with heartache, sacrifice, love, and rebirth. In the novel, we are introduced to Lucy Williams, a troubled soul, with a generous personality. Lucy’s brother, SJ Williams, a heartbroken carpenter, who was always willing to lend a hand. Last we have Wesley Williams, Lucy’s misguided son, who loves his mom with all his heart. This family faces many trials through the novel.

Everyone has an expectation, but what does an expectation feel like when it does not become reached? The boy in Gary Soto’s Short story “The Jacket” experiences just that. The author wants the reader to know the overall theme is that one's expectations can get in they way of our happiness. In Gary Soto’s “The Jacket” the boy explains “My clothes have failed me.” “ I remember the coats I wore in fifth and sixth grades when you either danced like a champ or pressed yourself against a greasy wall, bitter as a penny toward happy couples.”

1. The New York House of refugee was developed to keep younger generations out of the systems. This program places them in group homes and other facilities in which helps them stay out of trouble, and helps them learn new subjects. While having this program everyone believes that it improves these delinquent’s behavior, however; if we were to imprison them then they are more likely to committee more crimes in the future.

outcast United by st. John is a must read for those who don't understand the current refuge problem and for those who love playing soccer. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves soccer. I personally did not like the way that they talk about teach players background story. It is necessary to know the background of how the team became the fugee. personally I don't think it's necessary to know the background of each individual player. Another thing I didn't like was the Coach Luma. Luma is the type of coach that I would never want to have. I don’t like her coaching style and the way she tries to win games. I like a coach that's to the point but relax. The worst part about this book in my opinion is all the soccer. To me soccer is the

Stacey’s neighbor is protected against unreasonable searches and seizures under the United States constitution. According to the United States Constitution, The Fourth Amendment forbids unreasonable searches and seizures by requiring any warrant be constitutionally authorized and reinforced by probable cause. Consequently, while investigating criminal activity, a police officer can obtain a search warrant due to probable causes. In Stacey scenario, the police had reason to believe Stacey had hidden evidence in the neighbor home. Granted, if these probable causes were justified by observation, physical evidence, and statements by witnesses (Hall, 2015). This probable cause allows a search warrant to gives the police the legal jurisdiction to

From 1991 over one-sixth of Bhutan’s people flee their country and take a shelter in Nepal, India and other countries around the world. The large populations of Bhutanese refugee are called lhotshamps, an ethnic group, who were forced to leave their country in the early 1990s. Among 105,000 Bhutanese I’m one of them. I was born in a hut made of bamboo, food rations, and dirt roads. We are hostile, unsettled, unsure of who we are and what future held for us. I often think can we ever able to get rid out of the tag called “refugee” would my life ever changed, while ongoing tussled between mind and outside world finally in 2008 United States open a door for us to settled in the United States a “promised land” with full of struggle in 2009 we came here at Grand Forks. As I was growing up in the refugee camp I have seen a countless number of violence, crimes, injuries, and rebuff that words can’t be described. Most importantly death of people from a disease that can be a cure if, we have enough facilities such as, advanced medical training and hospitals. Although during my early childhood I have seen so much of maltreatment and practices, I always thought of having a career in health-related profession because I wanted to invest and improve the lives of individuals so that their children don't have to orphans, forced to work when their parent died, nor they have to beg for food. When I was 10 years old, my friend and I were trying to climb up the mango tree and I step in

As a child, I remember growing up in an area of Atlanta, Georgia called Mechanicsville. This area was very diverse with people from various socioeconomic backgrounds. Often, my mother would share valuable life lessons with my siblings and me. One, in particular, I remember even to this day is, “Life is only as challenging or motivating as you make it”. Originally, I did not quite understand the purpose of this aphorism; but as I got older, the meaning became quite clear. Although life for me has been both wholesome and unhealthy, in hindsight, it seemed better than my childhood friends. If you knew the real story, you would see that my life is not as perfect as it appears. Just to provide you with a little insight into my world, I had a
