In class, we read a book called “Refugee”. “Refugee” is about three characters in three different types of stories, and they have to flee from the places they live. Josef, who lives in Germany, in the 1930s, is fleeing from Germany because he is Jewish, and at that time Jews were treated unfairly because of the Nazis. Isabel, who lives in Cuba, in 1994, is fleeing from Cuba because people are rioting on the streets because they think the president should leave his job as a president. Isabel’s father is one of the rioters and he got in trouble with the police, and if they don’t leave Cuba Isabel’s father will go to jail. Mahmoud, who lives in Syria, in 2015, is fleeing Syria because of a war.
Their problems are similar because they are all fleeing because they are not safe. Their problems are different because Josef is fleeing because of his religion, Isabel is fleeing because her father got in trouble with the police, and Mahmoud is fleeing because of a war.
