For me personal I would choose the essay because it delivers the author's message. The main message in this story is survival requires courage, strength, and cunning. This is a true story about what happened to Andrew Lam and his life in the refugee camps. In the essay Andrew says “When I was eleven, about your age, I too fled from my homeland with my mother and sister and grandmother when the communist tanks came rolling into Saigon, Vietnam. We ended up in a refugee camp in Guam.” This shows strength that Andrew had because he was 11 when he left his home country to grow up in a cunpilay diffent counrty. In conclusion this story is about how you need will need survival requires such as courage, strength, and cunning to get you through
