Refugees are regular people who were forced to leave their homes because of safety reasons and problems going on in their countries. While fleeing their homes their lives turned inside out because they had problems finding a place to go, they were separated from family. Also, they had trouble finding safe solutions to be in. Soon their lives turned back again, this happened when they were able to adapt to these different environments. Also by having help from different sources, and lastly they had refugee camps to keep them safe. In the book 'Inside Out and Back Again' the main character Ha, faces similar challenges that the refugees faced. Ha is a ten-year-old who lives in South/Saigon Vietnam. She lives there with her mom and her two brothers. Her dad was captured by communists so he is currently not in her life. Despite all of this Ha is a very outgoing individual and well-curious and has good intentions in all of her decisions. Ha's, life turns inside out when the Vietnam War approaches and she is forced to leave her home when communists take over Saigon in South Vietnam. When leaves she has no choice but to leave things behind that are dear to her such as her papaya tree, her father, and her friends. The most important thing is her papaya tree because Ha watched the papaya grow as a mother does with their child. Her life turns back again when she goes to Alabama where there is safety but it's not like home. Also at the end of this historical fiction, Ha hears back from her father and he is doing well and fine. In conclusion, no matter who refugees are, where they are from, or why they flee, They can all experience frightening situations that can sometimes define their place in life, which causes their lives to turn inside out. But in the end, no matter if they found safety, they return home, or to a new home, their lives can turn back again!
The lives of refugees turn 'inside out' because of danger, homelessness from fleeing, and loss of family. In the book ' inside out and back again'' a quote that supports them being in danger is on page 12 when it says ' He was captured on Route 1 an hour south of the city by moped.' This quote talks about how His father was captured and that that is the loss in her family. A quote from the informational text ''Children of War ' says, '' Their father, an economics professor, was kidnapped and killed by Serb forces in 1992. ' This is dangerous because this can happen to them as well and that's not a safe environment for these children. Another quote I wrote was that they faced homelessness. In the informational text, 'Refugees, Who, Where, Why', it says ' Refugees share small huts that are made of tree branches, mud, and plastic sheeting.' This meant that they were homeless and they had to use resources to keep in a shelter/camp. The lives of refugees turn 'inside out' because they have time to adapt to the environment. Ha relates to this because she had a hard time learning English in Alabama. In the book, on page 177, it says, ' Whoever invented English should have learned to spell.' This quote shows the thoughts she had while learning the language. This relates to the universal theme because Ha is having a hard time adapting to her new environment just like the refugees. Ha and refugees face the same challenges because their lives turn inside out. Also, they have to learn and adjust because their new home is their new place. They have to get very used to it.
The lives of refugees turn 'back again' when finding a home because they can adapt to new environments, they can make friends and they can learn more about their new homes. A quote from Ha's experiences in the book 'Inside out and Back Again' is on page 166 when it talks about how excited Ha was when she learned English. ' My vocabulary grows! She makes me learn rules' This quote shows how proud Ha was when she learned this new language and how much she improved. The informational text 'Children of War '' it talks about how they had to adapt. 'because that was the only place where you were safe from bullets. I learned to live for the moment. They can learn to adapt to these new environments. Another Informational text that shows how they learned in these new environments is the informational text 'Refugees: Who, Where, Why'. It talks about the schooling that was provided for children of refugees. 'Schooling is provided for children, but classes are very overcrowded.' This quote shows that children had learning resources but not because of conditions. When refugees finally find a home their life is different, but still hard to adjust to because they still miss home. Also, some of these conditions can be overwhelming. Like Ha first felt in 'Inside out and back again. Or how children felt in the overcrowded schools in 'Refugees: Who, Where, Why'. Refugees' lives can turn back again but it will always be hard to adapt to these new environments they live in.
On the journey fleeing home refugees experience safety problems, trouble finding a new home, and adapting to different environments. These challenges impacted their lives because they have to adjust to a whole new lifestyle. This can be very scary for the refugees. On the journey to finding a home, refugees experience danger, homelessness from fleeing, and loss of family. This is very hard for them because refugees go through a lot as it is but then adding more of these challenges is very difficult for them. Although many encounters change their lives forever, their lives eventually begin to turn back again. When the lives of refugees turn back again they begin to learn to love their new environments. This happens when they make new friends, learn a new language, and leave the past behind and enjoy their new lives. The solutions help refugees because it helps them forget about the past and love their new lives. In conclusion, refugees' lives turn inside out when they have to flee their homes and their lives turn back again when they find new homes and their lives are complete again.
