18/08/10 Refugee Questions. Q1. a. ﻿She burnt all of her documents because if she didn't, the government could have found her family or even found where she was going. If they found her family they could hurt them and make them tell them where she was going. b. ﻿She would have been scared, sick and confused. She would have been scared that she would have to go back home, or that she might get hurt in the new country. As she would have been with many people they could have made her sick, and all the travel wouldn't have helped. She would have been confused to where she was, how people were treated in this country, if she was going to get into the country, where she would live, what she would eat, would she be able to get a job, and many other things. c. ﻿I think that because she was younger, she wouldn't have had alot of energy and she would have been more vulnerable to illnesses, like malaria. d. ﻿﻿I think that Tran was a refugee because she was fleeing her country. But I think that Ana was dis placed because her home was bombed and she has no home anymore.
