i think it was an inspiring game
ReplyDeleteWow I did not know that refugees had it so hard this game opened my eyes on what life is like for a refugee
ReplyDeletethe sorting of the items into the countries they came from was hard.... =P
ReplyDeleteit shows how people these days are very poor and heve a rough life
ReplyDeleteThis game was cool but hard! I agree with Lacey, the sorting the items into countries they came from was hard!
ReplyDeleteI think that it was very hard to decide who to leave behind if you had to to leave the country and i agree with danielle i hated the sorting part
ReplyDeleteIt really showed how much people are discriminated even when simply going to the mall. And i deffiantly agree with kyle, i could never imagine deciding who to leave behind
ReplyDeleteThe game showed how much adversity these refugees face and it is shameful that poeple will treat them so bad.
ReplyDeletei agree with kyle, making those decisions were hard
ReplyDeleteThe sorting was hard and it would be very hard to decide who was the right one to leave behind, i agree with everyone.
ReplyDeleteMaking any decision was hard. Deciding which choice was the best. I agree with everyone.
ReplyDeleteit's very hard and to make the right choices is difficult
ReplyDeleteOne thing i learned is that refugees have a hard life. You can't trust anyone because you never know who they really are. You might have to agree with something you dont really agree with to survive. They live a harsh life on the run.
ReplyDeletethe game showed how people live in poverty and how shamefull people are treated
ReplyDeleteWhile playing this game i died alot. It was for stupid reason in my opinion, like going against what i beleive in on a piece of paper and giving up my rights, or thinking someone will help you out but they end up being the people that want you dead. I also learned that when runnig away you cant bring all your belongings, you actually have to levae most to all of it behind Life is terrible and hard as a refugee and it takes a lot of courage to do what they need to do to survive.
ReplyDeleteThe game showed how difficult some peoples lives were, and that the simplest things like getting a job or going shopping were hard to do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian, the sorting would be hard, it would be hard to decide who to leave behind when you want to keep everyone with you.
chosing who to leave behind was really hard because you want to keep everyone with you
ReplyDeleteFirst off the game was really hard to play to begin with. What I learned from playing the game was it is much harder to get exception from others than it is to get ajusted to a new life in the game.
ReplyDeleteThis game informed me to a degree how hard being a refugee is. As a refugee you have to, like Alyssa said, make hard decisions such as who you have to leave behind for the better of the group.
ReplyDeleteI never knew how hard a life of a refugee is. The way that everybody looks at you is harsh and they never really give you a chance.
ReplyDeleteit was great to be able to see what other people are feeling and how hard it is to live
ReplyDeleteI learned that it is hard to be a refugee, and not be accepted by a lot of people. You don't really get a chance to show people who you really are before they make they're opinion about you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with rachel. like on how people treat you harshly. it's really terrible.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to be a refugee, people make bad opinions about you like jessica said
ReplyDeletei agree with mike i didnt realized how many difficult choices refugees have to make. they essentially leave everything they know behind to escape persecution
