  13. One 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.

  15. While 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.

  16. The game showed how difficult some peoples lives were, and that the simplest things like getting a job or going shopping were hard to do.

    I 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.

  18. First 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.

  19. This 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.

  20. I 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.

  21. it was great to be able to see what other people are feeling and how hard it is to live

  22. I 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.
