I chose to read this book because it has the topic of love and adventure in it, which are two things I generally enjoy watching. I also love to read first person stories.

The story is focused on Doaa. She is very shy but is full of curiosity. She wants to adventure. Unlike her other siblings she wants to make a change in the world. Before her country became corrupt, she wanted to help people by becoming a policewoman. This changed quickly, but this was abnormal for Syrian woman because they usually don’t get jobs.

She provided descriptions of the beginning of Doaa life and how she had passions and wanted a future. This helps people feel more upset for Doaa and her struggles as a refugee. This helps develop the purpose of the story because it shows that all refugees have a personal passionate life that they are taken away from.

She uses numbers of how many refugees there are in Syria to provide evidence of how bad the regime is in Syria. This helps develop the purpose of the story to help people be aware of what’s happening in other countries and to help.

This song connects to the book because it is stating you should rise up through hard times like Doaa did. She struggles endlessly, from watching her fiancé die, to being alone at sea for hours. Through all the hard times, she still had hope and “rose up” through evrything.
