I love running

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A2: I would grief so much and I wouldn't want to move on. I wouldn't forget them. #GRARefugee6 @sieferi

[Marguerite Arciaga @MrsArciaga]

Q2: What would you do if you were stranded in the ocean and your closest friend dies? Explain. #GRARefugee6

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

@MrsArciaga A4: I think it was the right choice and I think countries should own up to their mistakes, and give benefits to the family.#GRARefugee6 @sieferi

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A3: I think he is broken and that is why he is inattentive. I think he will come to life. #GRARefugee6 @sieferi

[Marguerite Arciaga @MrsArciaga]

Q3: Why do you think Waleed is so inattentive? Do you think he will come to life in Germany? Why? #GRARefugee6

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A1: I think he knew that they were refugee's, and he wanted money. I think he had this in mind the whole time. #GRARefugee6 @sieferi

[Marguerite Arciaga @MrsArciaga]

Q1: Why do you think the Serbian taxi-driver would point his gun at Mahmoud's family? Do you think he knows what they are going through? If so how would this change his decision? #GRARefugee6

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A3: I think the captain is American and he has the common courtesy, unlike Scheindick. And everyone on the crew respects him. #GRARefugee5 @sieferi

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A4: I think they won't run out of money because they are aware of there situation. #GRARefugee5

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A5: I don't think his dad and the family will not reunite because they are leaving from the Havanah Harbor.#GRARefugee5 @sieferi

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A1: Their Experiences were very different due to the fact Isabel's experience ended in death with Ivan, and Mahmoud's was given life by giving Hanah to the other people on the dingy so she could survive.#GRARefugee5 @sieferi

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A3: Tomorrow is being used a lot when you are a refugee because you don't have a for sure date so you have to take one day at a time and look forward to tomorrow. #GRARefugee4 @sieferi

[Amy Soupiset (Soup-uh-zay) @amysoupy]

Q3: We have noticed the repetition of the word “tomorrow” in all 3 stories. What are your thoughts about the significance or meaning of this word as it relates to each story? How does this word relate to the life of a refugee? #GRARefugee4

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A2: Josef's story is a dramatic classical ballad with lots of high points and low points and it will go on for a while. #GRARefugee4 @sieferi

[Amy Soupiset (Soup-uh-zay) @amysoupy]

Q2: Isabel beautifully compared her life to a symphony. Can you think of a metaphor for Josef’s or Mahmoud’s journeys? #GRARefugee4

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A1: I can't wait to hear what happens to Isabel, if their boat sinks, and if her mom has the baby, but I can't wait for the next story about Josef. #GRARefugee4 @sieferi @amysoupy

[Amy Soupiset (Soup-uh-zay) @amysoupy]

Q1: Tell us which character's story you most want to read all the way to the end, right now, because you can't wait to find out what happens next! Why is this character's story so compelling to you? #GRARefugee4

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

BW: I like Josef's story the most because I like to learn about WWII.

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

@chalk_talker @storm1619 I think Hitler knows because he knew a lot of things, but I don't think he is really comprehending how many will leave and what they will tell the world. #GRARefugee3

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

@chalk_talker @storm1619 I really am interested in WWII and read a lot about it. I am also really interested in it because I never knew that there were ships going out of Germany into Cuba.

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A3: I don't believe that Mahmoud's family will ever get on the boat. I believe that because there are a lot of other Syrian refugees there, and never trust smugglers because once a criminal always a criminal.

[chalk_talker (she/her) @chalk_talker]

Q3: Do you think Mahmoud's family will ever get on the boat? Why or why not? #GRARefugee3 #refugee @storm1619

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A9: I think Mahmoud's family will make it to Germany. Even without the car they can walk or find a ride.@sieferi

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A6: I think his father will get a little bit better, but because of the pain he has gone through he won't be back to how he was.@sieferi #GRARefugee2

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A4: I think Isabel's family will make it, and it won't sink. @sieferi #GRARefugee2

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A4:Something happening in their personal life. @sieferi @GRARefugeePre

[Allyson Thompson @AllysonThom2]

A1:A word that comes to mind is fleeing. #GRARefugeePre @sieferi
