TTS, Anisa’s hope during her travels reminds me of my hope during COVID. Anisa was hiding away from nearly everyone, only putting her trust in people guiding her through the war. Even after all she had been through, after all the horrible things that had been thrown at her, she was still hopeful. I was also like that in the stage 4 lockdown. I was hiding, scared of catching the microscopic murderer, but I stayed hopeful, even though I only trusted the people helping me get through the virus.
TTT, This whole book reminds me of Anna’s diary, called Kitty. In Kitty, Anna is a Jewish girl that was hunted down by Hitler’s army, Japan’s army, and Italy’s army.  Anna had her family had to hide in a abandoned house, and every day, Anna wrote in her diary. Similarly, in the book Anisa’s Alphabet, Anisa is stuck in a war and they have to hide. She makes up a alphabet on her journey to escape the way with her family. Unlike Kitty, though, Anisa runs away and takes refugee at a refugee camp.
TTW, The wall at the end of the book reminds me of Donald Trump’s wall and The Great Wall Of China. Like the wall in the book, both walls, I think, we’re built to protect from the neighbouring country’s. Unlike the other walls though, that wall was small and weak, compared to the massive concrete wall of America and the 6000km stretch of the hulking wall of China.

She went on multiple family holidays to Australia then in 2001 she moved officially to Australia. My Mum lived on Champman st (I think) then moved to just opisit NMPS then finally to Lancashire lane. She may not has lived in as bad contitions but she is still a refugee.T-T-W:I can connect this to the millions of people living in refugee camps. Some kids some adults.

I already felt angry and Gloomy, having the itchy bag repeatedly stabbing my shoulder made me feel even worse, so  I can feel her a emotions two, but mine was certainly a lot nicer. She also reminds me of camp when  we did a competition and they was single activities and every time we did a single activity we got an x on our hand, if we already did we could not do another single activity. A single activity was an activity that you had to do alone. The activity’s where basketball, archery rock climbing and other stuff like

It is similar to other settlement and war stories I have read, leaving you with full stops on sentences that do not sound finished but describe others more.

However in the boy at the back of the class he makes friends and starts feeling happy about his new life.

Boy that where about the alphabet. It also relates to those poor people who are pushed around and killed during wars.

I’ve also read a book at a library that was in the wrong section on genre. But I still read it and it was about people living in corrupt or countries in war that had to cross half the world to get to a safe place.

Text to world:

I remember going to that park near the North Melbourne pool with my sisters friend and her dad. Their family was Vietnamese, he explained to me and mum what his life was like in the past as being in war and escaping jail and coming to a good safe place like Melbourne. Which is related to the war related things in the book that got read aloud to us. He explained the pain he had to go through and the walls he ran into on his way to a happy life. He succeeded but it was really sad to hear what he had been through. I can relate this to something that was in the news about some country getting hit by a huge barrage of missiles which sent the town into panic.

Text to self:

I could connect this book to documentaries and movies that are related to this sort of harm to people with no power and no good and healthy lifestyle. I have sometimes wondered in bed at night what it would be like and what I would to if I were in a situation like these people are in. But the thoughts I think are gruesome and horrible with a lot of pain, death and sadness. Other than that most people still try and save themselves because they have limitless hope to survive and live happily ever after in a safe place.

New hope like Anissa said is a video game line that I’ve heard a lot of. It’s also very powerful and can relate to many things. It’s also featured in allot of adventure movies and books It’s a powerful line and it always gets you thinking about what’s coming next and makes your mind start racing.

I can relate to her when she said really scared I could relate as that’s exactly how I felt during the bushfires. I was scared that somehow the fires 🔥 would spread in to the city and burn everything I knew. Terrified that my holiday house would burn down. I felt this during the heat of the pandemic as well as I was scared that I or my family would get infected and get seriously injured or even die due to the virus.

The bombs in this book can easily relate to the fighting in Pakistan 🇵🇰 and in Israel 🇮🇱.

Anisa’s alphabet

T-T-S:

Anisa’s alphabet is similar to my life because in point Lonsdale every year we have a tent not a caravan. This means that it is very hot. It is not very nice to be in there in the middle of the day because it is very hot

T-T-T:

Anisa’s alphabet reminds me of Star Wars the force awakens and Star Wars rise of skywalker because at the start Rey didn’t have much money. But at the end she finds the yellow lightsaber. This is similar to Anisa’s story and anisa probably eventually finds what she wanted.

T-T-W:

This reminds me of refugees around the world like Anisa. It must be very hard for them. You would be stuck in a hot stinky refugee camp with heaps of other refugees in the same tent. I am almost certain that no one would like that. But you wouldn’t even have a choice because you don’t want to go back to your home country.

I have never been in a war or attacked by other countries, unlike this book. But there might be a time where I will experience a nightmare like this. I have been on a boat and had been scared that it was going to drown. I have been on a very old ride in Lunar Park and I thought it was going to collapse since it was so wobbly. I  become hopeful if something good is likely to happen. I have felt scared if I’m alone for a while, I imagine Anisa being terrified. I have not been left alone at night and not been in big danger.

We have all experienced fear at least 5 times in our life, but this book was about growing more scared.

Text to text📖💙

It reminds me of a text we read last year called “The boy at the back of the class.” It included a refugee just like this book. This book reminds me of a book my friend recommended called “Wolf Girl” and apparently it is about a young girl getting stranded because her parents left her when people were attacking her country. In this book she was stranded and scared, just like Anisa.

In the series of unfortunate events, the children felt afraid and scared like Anisa since their parents were gone. I have read a bit of wolf girl and her family also carrys and packs everything they can.

Text to world

That wars happen in a lot of countries, it’s very dangerous and bombs are currently being used on a country. The history of the whole world has had a lot of wars and fights, bombs and smoke included. Those people in wars had to flee in midnight and take whatever they could. I can imagine seeing a bunch of refugees on the news, in hot white tents, just like the book. The book also reminds me of scary events that happen in real life.

I don’t remember what country he left but I now the boy is now happily living in Australia and likes over here. This person is similar to Anisa because they are both refugees but they are different because the boy I met has a place to live unlike Anisa, who is still trying to find a home.

Text-to-text:

Anisa’s Alphabet reminds me of a book I read back in grade 4 called The Boy at the Back of the Class. The book is about this new kid who is a refugee from Syria and goes to a new school. The new kid meets some other kids who help guide him through school and they become best friends. Similarly, Anisa’s Alphabet is about a girl who is a refugee even though Anisa is still trying to find the home whereas the kid in the boy in the back of the class has found a home. The story’s character is can of like the girl who is called Anisa and has to go through multiple challenges to get to her new home

Text-to-world:

Since Anisa is a refugee, she probably had to escape from a place experiencing terrorist attacks. In the world, there are many terrorist attacks. Most of them happen in Israel even though they happen all around the world. This makes me very sad to think of all the people getting bombed. Like the story, most of the things happening in the book actually happen in the real world.

Text to Text:

Though not entirely obvious, I found a connection in Anisa’s Alphabet connecting to one of the Star Wars movies. This particular movie is: ‘The Force Awakens’. In it Rey ends up leaving her home to do something important. Anisa does the same, she leaves her home to do something important: to stay alive.

In Anisa’s Alphabet, a problem she continuously has to face is danger. Like many refugees she is scared yet determined, she doesn’t want to give up. A problem the world has to deal with is a strong flow of refugees coming in from different war torn countries.

This book relates to the lack of world peace in the world. There have been lots of pointless wars in the past years and the one in the Anisa’s Alphabet “ D is for danger from which we ran.” Thats proof of whats happening in the world.

Text to world: this book reminds me of world war 2 and how there were many refugees coming to Australia and many other places. Many also died in the war and many also died in boats. The book talked about bombs, and in wars they have bombs and weapons too. There was a page in the book where it looked like only the mother and the girl left, in war this would also happen. families separated for the best and were sent off.

Text to self: this book reminds me of my grandparents being refugees from the Vietnam war. My parents told me they spent months on a crowded boat just like in the story. Also like in the story my grandparents had to sleep on the ground with very little space.

I was also told that they didn’t have much food so they had to eat very little at a time.

In this book, there are many pages where the Anisa draws picture. This reminded me of Day Break.

In this book, Anisa frequently imagines a good future. This reminds me of now, since I am imagining how I am going to go to Tasmania in the holidays.

Another difference is that we imagine different things.

This book reminds me of when I went into the hospital when I was younger to get my flu vaccine. The nurse who did it was talking about  the refugees.

I remember my mum being so angry that we never went there again.

Text to world: The part in the book about the bombs reminded me of the world wars. I think that bit in the book might be about the Afghan war. The Afghan war is still going on to this day. The book talked about escaping and running from the war, and that is why I was reminded of the world wars. The world wars consisted of a huge amount of hiding and running away.

Text to text: This book is quite like the Black Lives Matter book. They both relate to people wanting more freedoms, or in some cases people just want a better, more respected life. In the Black Lives Matter book it talks about this in the form of protesting. In the Anisa’s Alphabet it is a bit different and it talks about this in the form of escaping and trying to find a new life. I know they are different topics, but they share the same purpose to me.

Text to self: This book reminds me of when I went to an ACMI exhibition on refugees. At the exhibition I learnt about the Vietnam war, and how the refugees went on boats. These boats normally sank and people on them rarely survived. This is like what happens in he book where the girl goes on a boat that is very rickety and in a storm the boat breaks. The people on the boat still get to safety though; or at least some of them did.

All the Texts so far have very hopeful parts which lead to very depressing but real life issues. I also noticed how three of the books had very short and impactful sentences and all talked about getting discriminated two in the same way but the other was about refugees

TTW

It is really easy to relate tests to real world issues because they are all talking about the real unforgiving
racist world. But in real life these things do happen but the books make it a tad more kind.  But these books real are to all the racial issues in the world (mainly Australia and America) and the books help teach a real world lesson.

TTS

I can not relate to things that harsh but I have been rejected by smaller things  but never as harsh as that.

I have however heard a story from my sister about a very very similar story of people trying to cross borders by boat and drown horribly. It just goes to show that these things are unfortunately common in society, I don’t personally know any refugees but I know someone who saves people from the disasters and in the process puts himself in dangerous situations which cause the people to be refugees

Now they were considered refugees and they weren’t allowed to be at another country.

The text "Anisa's Alphabet" and "When we say Black Lives Matter" remind me of each other because in both texts they weren't wanted and WERENT accepted. But in "When We Say Black Lives Matter" they had protests, but in "Anisa's Alphabet" they didn't have protests. Also "Anisa's Alphabet" had boat scenes and "Whenwe say Black Lives Matter" didn't. "Anisa's Alpahbet" also reminded me of "Day Break" this is because in "Day break" there is a certain page we're the white people are coming, this also had a boat scene.All these books connect with each other in different ways.

In the book "Anisa's Alphabet" they road a refugee boat to try and get to safety. This book reminded me of when I went on a sail boat, it was really scary and it kept shaking I thought I was going to fall off. I was about 8/9 at the time and I went this my sister and her friend's family. The boat was small and could only fit around 5 people including me and my sister. The difference between me going on a sail boat and Anisa going on a refugee boat is that she had hundreds of people on her boat and I had 5, also she was running away from danger on the boat but I was just going for fun.

Text to World
There are lots of refugees in the world, just like in the book "Anisa's Alphabet". In the book there is also a page we're anisa says "something I never wanted to be" because she didn't want to be a refugee. Same in the real world, people don't want to be refugees they just want to be safe. Anisa was only a young girl, just like many other refugees which makes me upset to know kids like me have to go through all that trauma just to be safe. It upsets me even more to know sometimes they get to the safe place but aren't aloud to get in. This book is fiction but is really based on real life, but it is important kids read books like these so they know how PRIVELGED they are. In some ways this book makes me very grateful for were I am today, and that I am safe in my country.

The book “Anisa’s Alphabet” is similar to the book “when we say Black Lives Matter”. They are both about Indigenous Australians been treated unfairly. But they also have a lot of differences. The book “when we say Black Lives Matter” mainly want to persuade us that Black Lives Matter. And the book “Anisa’s Alphabet” want to tell us about Anisa’s visualisation about the long journey that she has been attack and has to find a new home.

One of the pictures in the book, which is Anisa’s drawing, reminds me of me and my sister’s drawings at home. In the book, Anisa put her visualisation in her drawings. And my sister and I put our visualisations in our drawing as well. My sister is only in grade 1, but she once draw a very meaningful drawing. In her drawing, she put the Indigenous Australians and one side, and the white Australians at the other side. Then she drew a white dove that has a green wheat in its mouth. And she said that she wants them to be peaceful.

The part when they were in the FUG

It reminded me of the time when my grandma told me a story about a Vietnam war and how she took care of my dad. She told me that they would hide in concrete walls, swim through rivers to hide and more. I had a lot of questions like did they find you? Or what happens if they found you? Well she answered, they never found us, we stayed there everyday and never came out only if it was something important. Well I wouldn’t have been Ruby and probably ended up as another person, only if they didn’t survive and if my mum had never met my dad 😌👌.

This book reminds me of the book ‘Stand up! Speak up!’ Because sometimes when people protest, some of them get killed or get locked up for a particular reason. And

In the book, the family also gets bunched up and squashed in tiny tents where they have to stay.  The different thing though is that in Anisa’s Alphabet there is more of a meaning in the book. And in Stand up Peak up there aren’t really any fighting in the protest or anything like a normal protest would look like. But both of the books still both relate to each other .-.

“G is for guard, waving his gun.” Makes me think about all the bad criminals in the world that use guns. This quote also makes me wonder if the guard is protecting the refugees or if he is going to give away their spot. I was also reminded of all the companies that were sabotaged by double agents.

Anisha’s alphabet

T-T-T:

The book reminds me of, “when we say Black Lives Matter” because both texts talk about how they are being treated differently from normal people. The difference between the two texts is that in Anisha’s alphabet it says she was treated differently because of a war going on where she lived while in “when we say Black Lives Matter.” They were treated differently because of their skin tone.

T-T-W:

It reminds of the Israel vs Palestinian fight gong on because in anisha’s alphabet a war was happening so she had to leave her home. In Israel people had to go to bomb shelters and watch their homes blown into bits and pieces of hard brick. The story and real life both include that people have to leave their home to be safe from the treacherous war going on where they lived or near where they lived.

T-T-S:

I have no idea why but it somehow reminds me of the fire that went around in Australia in 2020. I think it reminded me of this because during the bushfire thing was going on it felt as if Melbourne just got nuked because the air was all red like a mushroom cloud and everyone was walking around carrying face mask to protect them from the deadly air. In Anisha’s alphabet the sky also had a dim red colour.

Deep connections - anisa’s alphabet - Asmara

T - T - S : This book reminds me of my mum. She worked on a alphabet book. That’s really the only thing they have that’s alike. Her’s is about a alphabet full of cuddles, hugs and comfort. “Anisa’s alphabet” is about a tragic story of a family of refugees that suffer a long an unpleasant journey.

T - T - T : This book reminds me of the book “day break” a powerful book with an even more powerful message. That message being, we will continue to fight. Anisais a refugee and she has to keep her hopes up. That’s really all she has. In “day break” the author explains how a young black girl gets up early on Australia Day. She heads out to the middle of the country to connect to her elders.

Text to self

“They sleep in tents, get scared in tents, draw in the tents and talk all night in the tents” this reminds me of when I went camping with my cousin we did the exact same thing. We got scared in the tents because we thought there was a monster, we talked all night and we also drew all night. The texts are similar because we almost did the exact same thing in the story. They are different because we did all of those together, while Anisa did them one by one. For example, at one time of the night she drew, one time of the night she talked and me and my cousin did them altogether. I felt sad when I read this text because it is a story about war after all.

Text to text

This story Is about war, So it reminds me of when I watched a girl and her family going to Israel where all the War was going on. They are similar because  they are both about war and how they are different is that the book called Anisas alphabet was shifting, they were moving to many differeny places while the girl in Israel just stayed at home.

Text to world

This related to the world because a War is a real thing that happens. A war is very deadly and can kill many innocent people. The story may be a nonfiction text about wars. Almost every text about wars is nonfiction because it is a real and deadly thing. Many Wars have happend before just like the Isreal one and Anisas alphabet one.

This book reminds me of another book that I once read, where their country was getting bombed and a war started. The had to live in hot tents too, and it made me think if both of the authors really care about bombing to stop.

Text To Self:

The sentence “O is for old boat, heading to sea.” Reminds me of when I went on a boat, and the water splashed all over me. I also went on another boat, which was one of the ones that have like and inside with a bunch of seats, and a bar. It was just a tour though. It makes me feel bad that they had to go on an old boat.

Text To World:

This book reminds me of the problem in the Middle East, about Israel bombing Pakistan, and they are having a big war. It makes me feel scared, that the war might get worse, but I sure hope it doesn’t. It reminds me of this problem, because they are also getting bombed like Anisa’s country!.:)

Jamie’s “the proudest blue” work Text-to-selfI made a connection when it said “it takes me 42 steps to walk from a shouting boy” reminded me of when we had a incursion about bullying. The boy reminded me that there are actually bullies, and they are mean, this made me angry.Text-to-world I made a connection to when the book said “someone laughs from near by, pointing at Asiya” it made me think about the man that was killed from a police, the man died just because of who he was and what he looked like. Text-to-textI made another connection to the quote “someone laughs from near by, pointing at Asiya” it made me think of the book “when we say Black Lives Matter” because there both getting bullied or accused for who they are for who they are.

This reminds me of someone that has the same name as the title of the book. Her name is Anisa and she is in Grade 6. She made it into Districts, Divisions and regionals with me and she is an amazing friend to have.

T - T - T

This reminds me of a video about war and how people died trying to protect there land because in this book it was like war and several people died. It makes me feel like we are so lucky to have such a good life and how we should be grateful for who we are.

T - T - W

This reminds me of the war people have been through back in the old days and how many people died trying to protect there land. It makes me feel so sad and given a bit guilty that we have such a easier life then them and that they had to suffer.

This book reminded me of when I read a really good book called siri's wall. This book was about a girl called siri who was a refuge and she was taller that the other girls and boys. That ment she could see over the wall and see the war going on, the other kids would ask what she could see and she said she could see circus's and other beatifull things but she was lying to make the other kids happy.

Text to world
This book reminded me of the conflct that happened not long ago between gaza and I think Israel. It reminded me of this because they both have something to do with war. It also reminded me of this because these country's are not as good as austrailia so in anisa's alphabet it did not look like she came from a good country because she was getting bombed and stuff that is devistating like that.

Text to self
This book made me feel really heart broken. It made me feel this way because I felt all the emotions anisa felt when she was a refuge. When she escaped when she was on a boat, when she was saved. And to see all of the damage and too realize that this was happening in the world just made me devastated. It made me feel safe as well. Because I am in a safe country.

Anisa's Alphabet reminds me of When We Say Black Lives Matter because of the colour palette. Both books have dark or gloomy colours in their illustrations when they are talking about upsetting things. I think colour palettes help display a message to the reader without having to use words.

Text-to-World
This book definitely reminds me of people having travel to a different country because their own homes were not safe enough to continue living in. I have watched a few documentaries about refugees. In these documentaries, the main reason they had to leave was because there was a war.

Text-to-Self
This makes me think of being on a plane and feeling scared or concerned that on the way to our destination, something would malfunction or go wrong. The people in Anisa's Alphabet must have felt so much worse. Their only shelter was an old boat, and I don't think they really knew where they were going.

This text reminds me of ‘Day Break’. It reminds me of this because both of these stories include being forced to leave your family and or home.

This book reminds me of how lucky Australia is, because other places like Pakistan are in danger of getting bombed, but we don’t seem in any immediate danger.
Text to World:
Expanding on my last connection, other places like Pakistan are in danger of getting bombed by places like Israel. It makes me sad that we live in a society where there are still people that don’t feel safe where they are.

During this book  when Anisa went through all the horrible things it reminded me of last year in covid were we were all in lockdown while the killing virus went on . I was scared stuck at home.But now in 2021 we have a better handle of the virus.

This book reminded me of the boy in the back of the class book that we read in grade 4. It was a refugee called Armit who ran away from his home because of a war that went ahead.

Text to world
This book reminded me of the refugees that seek for shelter running away from their home for safety.Many people say they ‘Take up so much of our time’Or ‘They take up to much space’.But they need somewhere to go to be safe for whatever is happening back at their home place.

“B is for bombs, when the fighting began” reminded me of the Palestinian and Israel conflict mostly because of the violence and that the weapon they used most on eachother were bombs. This is a text to world and text to text because I am Palestinian and this revolves around me and my people and because this is all around the world on news. Both lands are fighting for more and none of them have succeeded but it’s really sad that they are doing this. Why can’t they just be kind to eachother is my question sand it’s sad that there are refugees like Anisa.

T-T-T:

This book reminded me of the btn episode we watched at school that had a little bit of information about the conflict and helped me understand it more. I don’t have much information about it because I can’t remember it very clearly.
