He is in Nigeria and herself, mother and her brother are in Ireland and he's been trying to reunite with his family but he's getting denied. In the story Flowers in the Sky by Lynn Joseph Nina the main character , is nicknamed the flower girl who adapts to New York and grows to like living there. Even though she does miss her home town on an island. Both the Ted Talk and the book are connected because they both get separated from their families. "For months , my family and I were homeless. Finding in Ireland is difficult enough already" (Zion). “I did not believe her , but Mami was so insistent that i was going to a better in New York that i just bent my head and tried not to cry as the green coconut tree with their feathered caps flew past the bus window" (Joseph, 20).
Has your character moved out of their country and if so how did they feel about it?
