479 Words2 Pages

Ha and refugees struggle because they have a hard time finding where they belong, and once they do things are different. For example “ a washing machine because no one here will scrub laundry in exchange for a bowl of rice” (Lai 125). Ha is not used to having a washing machine because back in Vietnam they washed clothes by hand for a bowl of rice and now it 's so different and easy. Ha also relates to other refugees because “ some refugees cannot return home nor can they stay in their country of asylum” (Gevert).

They also have fresh food and a warm bed to sleep in this makes them feel
