Fadi Family Analysis

Economically Immigrating and Emigrating affected Fadi’s family economically when they had to sell all their things to get money to leave their war stricken country, how they had to live with another family because of the lack of money they had, and how they had no extra money for basically anything. When Fadi’s family had to sell all of their possessions , it affected them economically because they didn't have basic things in their house because they sold everything that they owned. They didn't have possessions to call theirs and they didn't have anything to say it's from their home(Pg.18). This demonstrates the harsh conditions that not every child has too or even will go through. Fadi’s family arrived in the U.S with the only people …show more content…
First, When Fadi’s family got discriminated for being Muslim after 9/11, it affected them because they we're still new to the country and it was already hard and now with it getting worse because of something that they didn't do (pg.188 ). The whole Muslim community got blamed for what happened that day, but in reality they had nothing to do with it; they actually left for that specific reason. This demonstrates how hard it was for them socially because they couldn't go anywhere without being called a “ Towel Head” or a “Terrorist” just because of the terrible things that radical Muslims did, not them. Also, When Fadi got bullied for being poor and later how he was Muslim, this affected him socially because he had no friends and with people putting his self esteem lower than it was is selfish of them (pg.100). This shows that socially it was hard to be the new kid on the block, and that kids can be really mean and ruthless to each other. Lastly, When they had a professor in Kabul help drives them to freedom and risk his life due to it, it affected the family because if the man got caught he could have told about them and risked their safety (pg. 4). This demonstrates how dangerous the situation Fadi’s family was in, how even a little slip up …show more content…
First, when they we're emigrating out of Afghanistan the Taliban almost caught, it affected them because if they did catch them they would be killed (pg. 16). It was not safe so when people got caught leaving they would torture and killed for what you tried to do. This shows exactly how dangerous living and leaving their was because of how struck they we're on the people, they we're oppressing their people the and their doing it now. Next, America was fighting back against Afghanistan, this affected the family because Fadi’s family didn't know whether the baby girl was still alive or not (pg.140). This has a resounding message of hatred because America didn't care at that point in time for human life all they cared about was revenge on some of the people that hurt their country. Finally, when the two men in the store we're fighting about if the Taliban and whether they we're good or there bad, this affected the family politically because it showed that some people the same as them believed differently and how people have different views. I loved this part because it gave a different perspective on do topic and it made me think like the man that thought the
