Some people believe that Universal Refugees are different people that deal with different hassles. However, that is not true. The Universal Refugees understand each other and deal with the same struggles such as immigration, hardship and assimilation. When entering a new country, refugees most likely will deal with hardship from just entering the country to actually living in it. Most of the hardship will come from racism from other citizens of that country. Refugees will also have to find their way of assimilating to that country to seem “normal” to others.
Millions of refugees are forced to flee their homes every year. They leave everything behind. Have you heard of the escapees on the news before? These are people who are forced to flee their homes for many reasons. Mostly, it is due to war or natural disasters. At first, these refugees feel displaced and seem lost in this “new world.” They will face many challenges that turn them inside out, however, if they can overcome this, eventually, their lives will turn back again. In the story,Inside Out and Back Again, by Thanha Lai, there is a young girl named Ha. She lives a good life in Vietnam, except, that Vietnam has been taken over by the communists. Ha, like most refugees, had her life turned inside out and back again. This means that Ha’s life changed drastically and is trying to come back to normal. For Ha’s life to truly come back again, her character will need to be like what she was in Vietnam. In Vietnam, Ha had more confidence, she was more rebellious, and, most importantly, Ha still had hope. She will need to grasp these traits again for her life to truly come back again. Ha, just like many other refugees, endure

People might think that you 're different and treat you unfairly. If refugees are able to make new friends they can try to forget the past and have the normal life they want to live. Refugees have to up and leave everything from their homes and come to a new country. Without the knowledge of the language or culture, it’s hard to make friends, making people unwilling to become your friend. Giving refugees a chance and helping them you can learn that they are just like you and everyone else.

Freedom is a short, powerful word we take for granted every day. It’s hard to fully appreciate freedom when we’ve never had it snatched away from us. We get to choose our jobs, where we live, what we eat. If we are unhappy at work, we have the freedom to quit and find work elsewhere.
Imagine being verbally or physically abused in a new place that you know little about because your skin isn't white or because your hair isn't the same color as everyone else's. People would be laughing, pointing at you and you haven't the slightest clue as to why so. This isn't even the beginning of what refugees endure. Refugees are people that leave their home because of war or other not natural causes that could possibly lead to death for themselves. All refugees have to endure certain hardships that are very real, not natural, and most importantly - not deserving, just like Ha, a young refugee from Vietnam because of the Vietnam War from the novel Inside Out and Back Again. All refugees experience traumatic and life-changing events that flip their lives "inside out" such as discrimination but after much time spent trying to adapt and accept their new lives, they realize that they can combine new customs with new old ones and
