In the Ted talk A safe pathway to resettle for migrants and refugees Becca Heller talks about how immigrants must make sacrifices and move away from their home for their futures, their safety, and their families because of this, sacrifices must be made. “They were separated from their mother when they were all forced to flee from their home in Eritrea when they were children. The kids were left behind because if she tried to get them back they could have gotten hurt or worse” (Becca Heller)
In the novel The Tyrant's Daughter by J.C Carleson a book about a family running away from the aftermath of the dad of the family’s crimes. “Hurry up! Hurry up! He’d been yelling at Mother as she tried to pack more and more suitcases. There’s no time for any of that.” this shows that they are trying to run away from something for their safety and because of that they need to leave things behind (Carleson 37). While they are safer they do miss their old life.
Based on your book what are the sacrifices that an immigrant character made? (such losing contact with family or friends, a home, and objects) Were these sacrifices worth it?
