Hi, My name is Ella Christensen, and today we'll be
- 00:03 - 00:06
talking to you about the Sudanese refugee group and the
- 00:06 - 00:08
book Inside Out and back again.
- 00:09 - 00:09
The first topic.
- 00:10 - 00:13
I will cover his peace time a representation of peace
- 00:14 - 00:15
time in the book, Inside out and back again.
- 00:15 - 00:16
It's on page one.
- 00:16 - 00:19
It states every tep we eat sugary lotus seeds and
- 00:19 - 00:21
glutinous rice cakes.
- 00:22 - 00:24
We were all new clothes, even underneath.
- 00:24 - 00:27
Despite the war going on, Hostile has good memories of
- 00:27 - 00:33
Vietnam text a text connection in the text Children of
- 00:33 - 00:33
war conveys.
- 00:34 - 00:35
In those days, there weren't any problems.
- 00:36 - 00:37
You could really enjoy life.
- 00:37 - 00:39
Before the war in Bony Jha broke out, you could
- 00:40 - 00:41
go out and walk the streets freely and life was
- 00:42 - 00:44
good. This relates to inside and back again on Page
- 00:44 - 00:46
six, when it talks about where his mother and father
- 00:46 - 00:48
wants Stroll in the evening by the Golden River.
- 00:49 - 00:50
That's where Ha got her name from.
- 00:51 - 00:55
This was all before the Vietnam War started peace time
- 00:56 - 00:57
quote hand.
- 00:57 - 00:59
Her family did not have a lot of money on
- 00:59 - 01:03
Page 11 and expresses they They're heading to vou tall,
- 01:05 - 01:05
he says.
- 01:05 - 01:07
Where the rich go to flee Vietnam on cruise ships.
- 01:08 - 01:10
I'm glad we've become poor so we can stay.
- 01:10 - 01:12
This led me to believe that they don't have a
- 01:12 - 01:13
lot of money due to the back.
- 01:13 - 01:17
The quote rich get to stay ghetto leave on cruise
- 01:18 - 01:19
ships while the poor have to stay.
- 01:21 - 01:21
Next is trauma time.
- 01:22 - 01:24
Ha and her family were forced to leave because it
- 01:24 - 01:26
was no longer safe for them to stay in Vietnam.
- 01:26 - 01:28
They were only able to bring a few things with
- 01:28 - 01:30
them, and all the other belongings were left behind.
- 01:30 - 01:34
For instance, on Page 58 remarked, Mother chooses 10 and
- 01:34 - 01:34
burns the rest.
- 01:35 - 01:37
We cannot leave evidence of father's life that might hurt
- 01:38 - 01:42
him. They were talking about pictures of Ha ha!
- 01:43 - 01:46
Of her father and his life before leaving on a
- 01:47 - 01:51
naval mission, another example of what they left behind his
- 01:51 - 01:55
on page 57 brother Kwan's report cards, each ranking him
- 01:55 - 01:57
first in class, being in kindergarten.
- 01:58 - 01:59
This shows how little they were able to bring with
- 01:59 - 02:01
them and all the memorable things they had to leave
- 02:01 - 02:05
behind. In the non fiction texts, a teenage refugee shocks
- 02:05 - 02:07
about her missing her friends back home.
- 02:08 - 02:08
The text states.
- 02:08 - 02:10
But I miss my friends and Silva haria.
- 02:11 - 02:13
They write to me and tell me how they don't
- 02:13 - 02:15
have anything to eat about their trouble and about their
- 02:15 - 02:16
troubled lives.
- 02:17 - 02:18
Sometimes I wish I'd say they're watching the more.
- 02:19 - 02:22
Rather than being your safe without friends, I can't imagine
- 02:22 - 02:23
how hard it must be for young refugees.
- 02:24 - 02:29
They're leaving behind their whole lives mostly belongings, friends and,
- 02:29 - 02:30
in some cases, family.
- 02:30 - 02:32
At the being, the book of Inside and Back Again
- 02:33 - 02:35
Home TT waves Goodbye talks About Hospice for and TT
- 02:36 - 02:39
and her family fleeing to Bhutan as how is packing
- 02:40 - 02:40
and getting ready to leave.
- 02:40 - 02:43
She thinks about all the memories and items she asked
- 02:43 - 02:44
leave behind in the poem Left Behind.
- 02:44 - 02:48
It tells us about quote two hooks and hammock where
- 02:48 - 02:51
nap highs, obviously referring to the past where she would
- 02:52 - 02:52
rest in the hammock.
- 02:53 - 02:55
This is something that she will miss worth when they
- 02:55 - 02:59
leave before fleeing life in Vietnam was chaos and not
- 03:00 - 03:01
say for how to stay there.
- 03:01 - 03:04
On page 48 it conveys in the distance, bombs explode
- 03:05 - 03:05
like thunder.
- 03:05 - 03:08
Slash is light in the sky and gunfire falls like
- 03:08 - 03:11
rain. It then talks about how distant yet within ears
- 03:11 - 03:15
within eyes, this quickly made me believe living in Vietnam
- 03:15 - 03:18
before fleeing must have been terrifying, especially with bombs and
- 03:18 - 03:22
gunfire going off so close before fleeing.
- 03:22 - 03:24
Honda family get packed up and ready to go after
- 03:25 - 03:28
Uncle Sam Bird After quote, Uncle Sam returns and tells
- 03:29 - 03:30
us to be ready to leave any day.
- 03:31 - 03:34
What it is, what it says on Page 50 one
- 03:34 - 03:37
thing. How will miss allies when they when they leave?
- 03:37 - 03:38
Is her papaya tree on page 60?
- 03:38 - 03:41
Expresses brother who wants to cut it down, saying it's
- 03:41 - 03:44
better than letting the Communist heaven since they cannot take
- 03:45 - 03:46
a papaya tree with them, they cut it down to
- 03:47 - 03:49
the Communist Don't have it after this happens.
- 03:50 - 03:53
A few days later, they leave and went and go
- 03:53 - 03:56
on the ship before fleeing Vietnam.
- 03:56 - 03:58
They turn on the TV and the president makes an
- 03:58 - 04:01
announcement on page for United States, his eyes brimming with
- 04:01 - 04:04
tears. This time they look really.
- 04:05 - 04:07
I can no longer be your president, but I will
- 04:07 - 04:09
never leave my people for our country.
- 04:09 - 04:11
This is just the start of the problems.
- 04:12 - 04:14
After that happens on her family go to the port
- 04:15 - 04:17
on board the ship, the shape the ship is taking
- 04:17 - 04:19
a safer a river route that will connect to see
- 04:20 - 04:22
in order to avoid the obvious escape route.
- 04:22 - 04:28
Where the communist or dropping bombs they have left on
- 04:28 - 04:30
the ship, they find out terrible news on Page six,
- 04:30 - 04:31
United States.
- 04:32 - 04:34
At noon today, the Communist crashed their tanks through the
- 04:34 - 04:40
gates of the presidential palace and planted and planted on
- 04:40 - 04:42
the roof of flag with one huge star.
- 04:42 - 04:44
Then, he adds, when no one was here, it's over.
- 04:44 - 04:46
Saigon is gone now.
- 04:46 - 04:48
The next part of now.
- 04:48 - 04:50
The next section of the book starts apart to at
- 04:50 - 04:55
sea limbo time hand her family of left Vietnam and
- 04:55 - 04:58
have arrived in Goma on page 96.
- 04:59 - 05:01
It talks about what it's like there we inside huge
- 05:01 - 05:05
tents or brother who becomes head chef, heating up cans
- 05:05 - 05:07
of beef and potatoes, tasting like salty vomit.
- 05:08 - 05:10
It may not be the most ideal food hot ones,
- 05:10 - 05:11
but at least they're safe.
- 05:12 - 05:15
Intensity high on her family get to do a lot
- 05:15 - 05:18
of things on Page 98 it says.
- 05:18 - 05:22
Camp workers teach us English mornings and afternoons is led
- 05:22 - 05:24
me to believe that Hot and the rest of her
- 05:24 - 05:25
family are learning English together.
- 05:25 - 05:25
On page 98.
- 05:27 - 05:30
It also says, we watch movies outdoors with an image
- 05:31 - 05:32
projector and a white sheet.
- 05:32 - 05:37
Brother Kwan translates into a microphone, his voice sad and
- 05:37 - 05:40
slow. 10 City must not be too bad if they
- 05:40 - 05:42
get to watch movies and eat fruit and learn English.
- 05:44 - 05:44
Hand her family.
- 05:45 - 05:46
That was lots of problems throughout the book.
- 05:46 - 05:48
One of the biggest challenges half faces is bullying.
- 05:49 - 05:49
She goes through school.
- 05:50 - 05:52
She goes to school in the United States for the
- 05:52 - 05:54
first time in her classmates are already mean to her.
- 05:55 - 05:58
On Page 1 51 it says, They pull my hair
- 05:58 - 05:59
and they threw rocks at me.
- 06:00 - 06:01
They promised to stomp on my chest.
- 06:01 - 06:03
This is one of the many horrible things they said
- 06:04 - 06:05
Taha on Page one, Penny to it remarks.
- 06:06 - 06:07
Someone called me Ching Chong.
- 06:08 - 06:09
Is that good question?
- 06:09 - 06:11
Were didn't sound good.
- 06:12 - 06:13
Then he tripped me, so I flew in, almost kicked
- 06:14 - 06:14
him in the face.
- 06:15 - 06:19
Tripping is physically harassing her because she is different.
- 06:21 - 06:26
Bullying ha continues to be bullied and have mean verbal
- 06:26 - 06:28
comments made about her to her for a long time
- 06:28 - 06:32
on page 1 68 expresses when asked by eat dog
- 06:32 - 06:37
meat, barking and chewing and falling down, laughing and the
- 06:37 - 06:40
books. And the book says, when they wonder if I
- 06:40 - 06:43
live in the jungle with tigers growling and stalking on
- 06:43 - 06:43
all fours.
- 06:45 - 06:47
They even made fun of my name.
- 06:48 - 06:50
They they even made one of her name They made
- 06:50 - 06:52
from my name like ha ha ha!
- 06:53 - 06:54
Down the hall.
- 06:54 - 06:57
All of these verbal statements and physical and physically hurting
- 06:57 - 06:58
her is considered bullying.
- 07:00 - 07:02
One of the ways ha adopt to the life in
- 07:02 - 07:04
the use A is by learning self defense.
- 07:04 - 07:07
When she's dealing with those bullets on Page one 53
- 07:08 - 07:12
her, her and her brother talking, it says, I'll teach
- 07:12 - 07:12
you defense.
- 07:12 - 07:16
How will that help you'll see now she is now.
- 07:16 - 07:18
When she has people mistreating her at school, she can
- 07:18 - 07:23
defend herself during school hot shows.
- 07:23 - 07:26
The class house Marty truly is on page 1 87
- 07:27 - 07:28
and 1 88.
- 07:28 - 07:30
It states he can't multiply 18 by 42.
- 07:31 - 07:33
I go to the board, chalk the answer.
- 07:34 - 07:36
In five moves, I know Pink boy will be met
- 07:37 - 07:38
we'll get me.
- 07:38 - 07:39
But right now I feel smart.
- 07:40 - 07:43
This made how very excited since she outsmarted Pink Point
- 07:43 - 07:47
the boy, the boy that has been bullying her Sudan,
- 07:50 - 07:52
who are the refugees?
- 07:53 - 07:55
Most of those fleeing south Sudan are women and Children
- 07:56 - 07:59
include survivors of violent attacks, sexual assault, Children who have
- 07:59 - 08:03
been separated from their parents or travel or travel alone,
- 08:04 - 08:08
but the disabled, the elderly and people in need of
- 08:08 - 08:09
urgent medical care.
- 08:10 - 08:13
These people who are fleeing are leaving that toe not
- 08:13 - 08:16
only to save their lives with their future, not only
- 08:16 - 08:17
to save their future, but their lives.
- 08:18 - 08:23
Too many refugees, our arrive exhausted after days, walking in
- 08:23 - 08:25
bushes in going without food or water.
- 08:25 - 08:29
Many Children have lost one or both of their parents,
- 08:30 - 08:31
says Very said.
- 08:31 - 08:34
The Children will have toe embark on such a journey,
- 08:35 - 08:39
possibly alone What happened to them?
- 08:39 - 08:45
About 185,000 people have played the country since early July,
- 08:46 - 08:49
when fierce fighting flared in the capital Juba.
- 08:50 - 08:58
Supporters of President Salva Killer and Rick Marc Marcello, then
- 08:58 - 08:59
vice president.
- 09:02 - 09:05
Evidently Sudanese people are fleeing from their home countries to
- 09:05 - 09:07
avoid their death and finding a better lifestyle.
- 09:08 - 09:13
Both civilians and foreigners, including aid workers, work targeted in
- 09:13 - 09:18
July chaos by soldiers who raped women and girls.
- 09:18 - 09:26
Conducting mark mock executions, Enforcing people at one halt compounding
- 09:27 - 09:28
toe watch us.
- 09:28 - 09:32
They executed a local journalist, obviously alone with fighting traumatizing
- 09:33 - 09:39
incidents. We're also occurred, leaving the Sudanese people not no
- 09:39 - 09:41
choice but to flee for their lives.
- 09:41 - 09:44
How did they flee with with the analysis?
- 09:44 - 09:48
We arrived at refugee camps in food, food, Genia, Ethiopia.
- 09:50 - 09:53
But a few years later, the Ethiopian government was overthrown.
- 09:54 - 09:55
The new government holds to leave at gunpoint.
- 09:56 - 10:01
We checked once more across Sudan, ending at the Carla
- 10:01 - 10:04
Markell refugee camp and the Kenya desert.
- 10:05 - 10:10
The phrase we tracked once more indicates that they walked
- 10:11 - 10:13
to Ethiopia from south Sudan.
- 10:14 - 10:16
Where did they go after making the decision to leave
- 10:16 - 10:18
South Sudan, Refugees must find new homes.
- 10:18 - 10:21
The majority of South Sudanese refugees are living in neighbor
- 10:22 - 10:23
neighboring countries such as Sudan.
- 10:24 - 10:29
You, gar, you can't Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya and the democracy,
- 10:30 - 10:37
the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya's Cut Kaka Ma refugee
- 10:37 - 10:43
camp and this expansion site, Ka holy settlement, Holst.
- 10:44 - 10:53
More than 106,000 south Sudanese refugees I could.
- 10:54 - 10:57
Clearly, many countries and people are willing to help those
- 10:57 - 11:02
in less fortunate situations or into the U and HCR
- 11:03 - 11:04
inside south Sudan.
- 11:04 - 11:08
Nearly two million people this place while outside the country.
- 11:08 - 11:11
There are over two million south Sudanese refugees, mainly in
- 11:11 - 11:13
Ethiopia, Sudan and Uganda.
- 11:14 - 11:19
Many fear intimate attacks of struggling with food insecurity.
- 11:22 - 11:25
This quote led me to believe that South Sudanese refugees
- 11:25 - 11:29
are not safe in Sudan, must incident and must flee
- 11:29 - 11:29
surrounding countries.
- 11:31 - 11:31
How did they suffer?
- 11:31 - 11:39
The refugees suffer because in Sudan, political political up road
- 11:40 - 11:44
comes about 1983 when the president violates the at about
- 11:44 - 11:45
the agreement, the article says.
- 11:45 - 11:48
The government horse shot Shari Laws.
- 11:49 - 11:50
Most of the people took arms.
- 11:51 - 11:54
I was 13 and 90 in 1983.
- 11:55 - 11:57
The school was cut off because of war.
- 11:57 - 12:02
The civilians were armed and lost schools and since law
- 12:02 - 12:05
school in another way, they suffered was from mine.
- 12:05 - 12:09
They were put into Red Melouk e Asia shares his
- 12:09 - 12:11
experience. We woke up in the morning and there were
- 12:11 - 12:15
many, many minds on road.
- 12:17 - 12:18
They went to the desert and come back with small
- 12:20 - 12:23
arteries. They made a raid and come and come, then
- 12:23 - 12:24
come back.
- 12:24 - 12:25
So we run again.
- 12:26 - 12:28
Lastly, they suffered because there was not enough food and
- 12:29 - 12:31
refugee camps because of the desert to write, it was
- 12:31 - 12:34
the most difficult to grow cops crops they had to
- 12:34 - 12:34
rely on.
- 12:34 - 12:38
Relief Aid to Get Fed, Article Explains Despite the efforts
- 12:38 - 12:43
of the office, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees,
- 12:43 - 12:48
U. N H CR, maintained widespread of the camps and
- 12:48 - 12:49
were often unsafe.
- 12:50 - 12:56
There were attacked even in the camps, then they then
- 12:56 - 12:56
really was.
- 12:57 - 12:59
There was really no safe place for them anymore.
- 12:59 - 13:03
Even in the neighboring countries camps, how have they been
- 13:03 - 13:03
supported? The U.
- 13:04 - 13:08
N HCR stands with them and with all refugees, said
- 13:10 - 13:14
Grandi. This shows that the refugees are getting support from
- 13:15 - 13:19
people around the world and people who want to help
- 13:19 - 13:23
them. Like the UNHCR, the mission of the SS see
- 13:23 - 13:26
Ace to teach refugees about life in United States and
- 13:26 - 13:29
educate them on a basic level of journey well worth
- 13:30 - 13:32
it. This shows that refugees they're getting help with learning
- 13:33 - 13:35
what they have to know to be successful in their
- 13:35 - 13:36
new country.
- 13:37 - 13:41
The sign of displays to make all refugees go comfortable
- 13:41 - 13:45
in their new country while they while they begin to
- 13:45 - 13:47
learn social norms in America.
- 13:48 - 13:50
This shows that people are trying to make up, the
- 13:51 - 13:54
more comfortable with while they're transitioning into their new homes.
- 14:01 - 14:02
Thanks for watching.
