The characters in Refugee take a risk by leaving there homeland, and they have to go through the struggles of leaving. For example, Mahmoud has to deal with sleeping outside while waiting for his boat, and once on the boat, he has to be squished and deal with hard rain. Isabel deals with the hard waving and the fact that she now has to medicine on board, even a storm is coming. Josef has an insane, paranoid father who thinks everything is a Nazi trap. He also has to deal with a few Hitler supporters on board the ship that is supposed to give Jews freedom. These are just a few examples of how the characters in Refugee deal with struggles while trying to be free.]]> 2019-12-05 15:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/420261623 1086801 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/420264511 See paragraph here

In the book refugee all three characters have challenges they need to overcome]]> 2019-12-09 14:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/421622349 1029602 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/421701486 Topic: How Setting Affects Character
The setting affects all 3 characters because their conflicts all come from the setting. The author made the settings so important to the story because he wanted to raise the stakes in way that was very impactful.]]> 2019-12-09 16:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/421701486 1030072 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/421713517  Have you ever wondered what a refugee is? In the book Refugee, the three main characters Joseph, Isabel, and Mahmoud are all caught up in different wars, in different time periods. This forces them to become refugees by fleeing their homes with nothing to help them. I think this is a really good book with lots of suspence and action. I would reccomend this book because it has something for everyone. ]]> 2019-12-09 17:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/421713517 1029602 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/421718792 This article is about a family that is refugeeing from Daara, Syria to Dallas, Texas:
This relates to Refugee because this family refugees from Syria, which is where the character Mahmoud has to refuge from. In addition, like Mahmoud, this family had struggles in Syria, that forced them to flee to Dallas, Texas. ]]> 2019-12-09 17:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/421718792 1029602 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422164441 I chose the song "Rise" By: Katy Perry for my creative connection to "Refugee" 

I chose this song because it talks about believing that you can overcome challenges, which I think is apart of the theme of "Refugee". In addition, it talks about the fight that the singer has to go through to rise to the challenge. This relates to "Refugee" because all of the characters have to fight to rise to their challenge.

The homeland you have lived in as long as you can remember. Then having to go somewhere that is all new. Wouldn't it be devastating? Well, the 24 men they traveled from Austria to Bratislava, Slovakia in September 2015, know what this is like. Most of them were saying goodbye to their torn homes in Syria. These refugees are going through struggles just as the refugees do in "Refugee" by Alan Gratz. A lot of these refugees were separated from family and friends that they have in Austria. For instance, Following Syrian Refugees Into An Unwelcome Home Slovakia states we lost everything in this country, says Mahmood Aloka, 24, who came out from outside Damascus.  This is similar to "Refugee" they sacrificed a lot to be able to refugee, In addition, like Mahmoud, these refugees leave almost everything  at home. This is similar to Mahmoud because in the book it describes how Mahmoud family only brings a bag full of things, which was not all that they had at home. ]]> 2019-12-10 15:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422200602 1030072 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422251994 I chose the song stronger for my creative connection because it sings about overcoming challenges and how you can go through hard times and still be strong. This is exactly what happens in Refugee where they have to stay strong and go through hard times at the same time.]]> 2019-12-10 16:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422251994 1161291 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422263009 See Refugee Theme Here]]> 2019-12-10 16:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422263009 1029602 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422792308 I think that the theme of "Refugee" is "you will face challenges but you have to learn to overcome them". The reason why I think this is the theme is Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud all face large challenges, but in order to to succeed they have to learn to overcome them. Furthemore, this theme is important because a part of refuging is having to know how to take on a challenge.]]> 2019-12-11 15:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/422792308 1161291 https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/424594807 This article is about refugees in general.

There are many kinds of refugees from many different places. according to UNHCR Global trends report Turkey takes in the most refugees. The most refugees come from Afganistan Syria and South Suadan.

The author keeps Mahmoud different to show the other side for refugees

  Isabel and Josef have very similar stories. Both leave on boats and face challeneges on the boat. With Mahmoud his story is more on the war side. For example, When Mahmoud had the flashbacks he was talking about how he lays low because of all of the things he lost to war. His bestfriend and his home. In conclusion, Mahmoud is in the book to show the other side of refugees]]> 2019-12-18 02:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1086801/493x41l7k8ys/wish/425312218
