Why is it necessary to have legal documents such as The Bill of Rights and The Universal Human Rights?

A: I think it's necessary to have these documents to make sure that people are safe and secure and don't have to live life feeling like they are always in danger.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Read the back of the "Universal Human Rights".

2) Complete one question REALLY well. It needs to include a claim, evidence, and reasoning.

Finally, we are leaving Cuba. I can't believe this is actually happening. I hope that the hole in the boat doesn't stop us from making us to Miami. I guess Castro is really okay with letting people leave.

I thought we would be able to get to Turkey safely. I guess it doesn't matter who you are, either way we aren't safe. I wonder what we are going to do now that we had to abandon the car. I hope those soldiers knew what they were doing.

I'm so glad I was able to have my bar mitvzah. What those girls did really was cruel. I wonder what we will do if Cuba doesn't allow us to go in. I wonder how many refugee boats there are going to Cuba.

@Mahmoud

I thought we were never going to get a boat, always being told it would come "tomorrow". I don't get why rent is so expensive, all I want is a place for a good night's sleep. That man was nice enough to offer us a room when he didn't have enough space. I wish others were like that.

@Josef

I feel bad for slapping Papa but it was the only think that would make him sane. It's been forever since I've been able to go to a party. It seems like that doctor didn't even do a medical inspection. I wonder why they won't let us in until "tomorrow"

Q: What is similar between all there stories so far? What might the author be trying to show the reader through these similarities?

A: In all stories you have a family of refugees trying to flee to safety. In all of these stories each of these character's families has obstacles in their way of getting them to freedom. For example, in Mahmoud's chapter there was the two guys that told them they had to pay rent to sleep in the mall again. I think the author might be trying to show how refugees get to freedom and the obstacles they have to face just to get there.

@Mahmoud

I'm glad we're finally on the boat. I hope that they don't send us back. I thought the smuggler was going to drive the boat but I guess we have to depend on ourselves. How are we going to be able to see when it's so dark. That rock made it feel like an explosion.

Q: Name one theme that transcends chapters 23 & 24

A: It's okay to be scared but in that fear is bravery.

Q: Lito compares life to a song, but Isabel compares it to a symphony. What is the significance of her adjustment? Why is her metaphor more accurate?

A: Isabel believes that life is much more complicated. For example, when you have a symphony playing there's a whole bunch of instruments involved that all play a specific instrument and part but in the end they create a masterpiece and are able to blend well together. This would be why her metaphor is more accurate because a song is part of a symphony and this journey she's on is part of her symphony but it is not the symphony itself.

We don't really need a name for the boat but it gave us something to do. I can't believe Ivan is dead. We can't lose somebody, we were all supposed to go to Miami together. Now we are doomed stuck in a circle of sharks.

Hana is still gone and we don't know where she or if she is alive. This is all my fault, I gave the lady Hana. At least now we are on a ferry that tourists don't want us on. Hopefully we can cross the border successfully in the night.

This all seems like a nightmare. First, my family is held at gun point. There was a gun right in my face. Then, we can't get across the Hungary border. Now, I'm going to die for trying to get to safety. We still don't know where Hana is.

That party was bigger than the one we had before we reached Cuba. I'm happy something was figured out for us. I thought we would be safe in France but I guess the Nazis' don't want to stop until they invade all of Europe. Why can't we just be safe?

@IsaCubanGirl

What was Lito talking about? I'm not sure when my baby brother is born but we're so close to shore. I can't believe Lito would jump in the water just for us. Now he will be sent back to Cuba and we won't be a family. We already lost Ivan and now We're losing Lito too. We just have to continue on.
