Refugees In Inside Out And Back Again
Pick a random person on the street, there’s a chance that they could be a refugee. Refugees are people just like you, but they have a lot more challenges that they have to conquer. They have to leave their country, their home, they place they grew up. In the novel Inside Out & Back Again, the main character, Ha, had to flee from her home, and changed throughout the book. In the beginning of the novel, Ha was jealous of the fact that there was things that she couldn’t do, that she didn’t fit in with her brothers. Ha, like most refugees, also had to experience the feeling of her father being missing. Refugees everywhere have to experience new customs in a place they don’t know, sometimes without their loved ones.

They’ve been there for most or all of their life. When they have to start over in a new country, a country they know nothing about, they have to be able to try new things. So they can fit in and feel back again. They have to make friends and learn how to speak the native language just to fit in. According to Refugees: Who, Where, Why. by Catherine Gevert, it states “In a country of asylum, refugees have the right to be treated the same as legal residents and as such are entitled to basic civil rights, medical care, and schooling.” (Gevert, 1) This shows that the refugees already have the things they need to be in the country. But they are not given the social experience of making friends. In the novel Inside Out & Back Again by Thannha Lai, it states “I firm my muscles, ready for the giggles to explode into laughter thrown at me. But smiles appear instead.” (Lai, 184) This shows that Ha was used to being bullied and not making friends. Making friends is hard for everybody, especially if they don’t know how to speak in the same language. Also from Inside Out & Back Again by Thannha Lai, it states “My vocabulary grows! She makes me learn rules I’ve never noticed, like a, an, and, the which act as little megaphones to tell the world whose English is still secondhand.” (Lai, 166) This shows that Ha had to learn a new language from the very beginning. She learned more and more things everyday. All refugees
