Quote 1: I told no one, but I was fairly certain that something would go wrong with this trip. but I could not live in that camp anymore. I had been at Kakuma for almost ten years and would not live out my life there. Any risk, I felt, was acceptable.

Response 1: I felt that this part was both sad and happy because it showed how much he wanted to leave although hes going to miss his country. It is good to leave his country during war and death , so it is a happy thought that he is saving himself, but when he sees everyone who has cared for him and are know crying because he's leaving, its sad. I think his choices are well determined. He has become smarter,stronger, and more willed. Its just sad that he has to break hearts to alleviate his own.
Question 1: Have you every felt this way about a place and others? Explain the feelings.
Quote 2: We're men. Now we can stand and decide. this is our first chance to choose our unknown. I'm so proud of everything we've done , my brothers , and if we're fortunate enough to fly and land again in a new place we must continue.

Response 2: I chose this one because it shows how much hes grown. Before i remember the little kid who had been listening to Deng's story about how he pooped his pants. Or the part where he had been wrestling with William K. then Moses. And now in this part he is comforting another kid named Benjamin. He wants others to feel safe with friends and to feel comforted by the love of others, even if they are people you haven't seen before. When i read this part i remembered the part where he was with the group led by Dut walking through that dark, while lions devoured others, they gave them selves comfort.
Question 2: Have you had the memory of you before and you growing up? Explain how it felt.

Quote #1:
I agree with you it is ad but good and makes you happy. Because he is getting to get out of the camp that he did not like. But on the negative side he has lived there for so long and grown attached to it so it problem is hard to leave some were like that. Question #1: no actually I haven’t felt this way before. Well sort of when I had to leave my elementary school that I had been to for many years then I had to leave it after I knew so many people there. But I still contact with my friends.
Quote #2:
I like his quote you chose. It makes me feel I guess happy or something for them because it shows how they matured over this time even though they weren’t supper old when it was all going on. They now have like there own families even with people they have never met or seen before. It shows how much people care for another there.
Question #2: I don’t get your question all the way but. I haven’t really grown up or changed much since I was younger. At least I don’t think so.
