One of the similarities between Of Beetles And Angels (OBAA) and "Shrinking small towns see hope in refugees" is that there  were organizations that helped the refugees relocate. OBAA had Word Relief, and my article had Rutland Welcomes. For example, " A volunteer organization Rutland Welcomes…700 volunteers…to learn Arabic and plan…" Then in OBAA, "They needed help, so they contacted World Relief, a U.S.-based Christian organization that located refugees and helped them resettle in the United states." these quotes show that refugees need help to get in the U.S. and settle down.

Another connection is that there were people that objected to having the refugees in the United States.  They could be anyone, from politicians to civilians. For example,"Seven of the 11 members on the Rutland Board of Aldermen signed a letter asking the State Department not to send refugees." An example of this in OBAA is, "'Why don't you just go back to Africa where you came from?' We were just two, and they were often many" This shows that refugees did, and still do, have to deal with adversaries, be it an adult or a child.

War affects individuals and societies by making them less kind and more focused on survival. This can especially effect those born into war. For example,"Some of the other kids tried to push us around, so Tewolde and I quickly mastered Sudanese-style fighting, where the only object was survival." This shows just how harsh the camps were. Most children in countries that are not in war don't have to worry about day-to-day survival, however these kids had to fight to live almost daily.

Introduction

Hi reader, welcome to my blog! Right now I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am an avid reader, and I like to think up my own stories as well. My favorite genres are sci-fi and romance.

I also like hanging out with by friends at the local park. We often get a bit carried away, as a result my friend is now dubbed the "Duck Killer". (no ducks were harmed in the making of this blog)

Thanks for reading, bye!
