Said by Dave actually more of a thought
"Its strange thing, I realized, but what I think at this moment is that I want to be back in Kakuma. In Kakuma there was no rain, the winds blew nine months of the year, and eighty thousand war refugees from Sudan and elsewhere lived on one meal a day. But this moment, when the women is in y bedroom and the man guarding me with his gun, I want to be in Kakuma refugee camp, where I lived in a hut of plastic and sandbags and owned one pair of pants. I am not sure if there was evil of this kind in Kakuma refugee camp, and I want to return."
It relates to question 4(what challenges have your character faced upon their arrival. A women comes banging on his door saying she needed to call the police because her car had trouble so he letter in but thinking it weird to call police for it. Then a guy comes in to his house with a gun and holding him there. he left Kakuma because of it was bad and wasn’t they best but they had stuff happen that wasnt as bad as that he been robbed but little things becasue valubles there were matress and here he had t.vs and stuff. then he comes here to get a gun pointed at him. if i was in his shoes i would want to be back home in Kakuma refugee camp to.
Question- if you had some one coming into your house and lock them self in your room then some one else comes in with a gun how would you feel?

"Written words are rare in small villages like mine, and it is my right and obligation to send my stories into the world, even if silently, even utterly powerless"
This quote relates to question 6 (how do the characters maintain their cultural ties and their homeland while living in America?) when he was in the small village things went on so now that has out of there he feels he needs to tell the world what was like now that he’s gone. His silent telling is though writing i think. I connected to this when becasue i fell that you should talk about what you journey or changing if you came from some were not so good then you come here.
Question- what dies this quote mean to you?
