Children Of the River

If this happened I would probably try and leave. I would try to leave as early as possible because I would want to leave before things got worse. If I had to go somewhere I would probably try to leave the country on a airplane, train, or boat and go somewhere like Ireland becasue that is where my family came from a long time ago, so I know once I got there I know I could do something.

Well first I would probably be really scared. I would probably leave with the people but I would be really sad becasue I left behind my parents and friends, though I would be scared I would have faith that I would see them again. Once I was on the plane I would probably be really scared because I have no idea where I am going. I would hope I would go somewhere were they speak English because I don't know any other language. If I had to guess where I would be going I would probably guess somewhere in Asia or Africa.

I would be really scared once I found out where I was. The first thing I would do is try to get to a place where I could try to call home or watch something that tells me what is going on back home. The other thing I would have to do is try to find a government building that might be able to help me with food, shelter, money, and education until I could do it on my own. I think my daily life would definitely  change. Even though I do know a few people I would still have to start a new school and slowly adapt to the daily life of the new country. It would be hard and I would probably worry about my family a lot but once I had the chance to try and contact what was left of my family and see if I could get them over with me and away from the horrible place they are in.

  1. You mention missing your family but I'm wondering what specific challenges and fears of the culture you would have.
