  2. When i played the game i noticed that they are looked at differently. They are always accused of doing wrong. They don't have all the rights and freedom we get, and thats not right.

  4. After playing this game i realized the harsh prombles that refugees face everyday. Without rights and freedom, many refugees are unhappy. People should be treated equally and refugees are living an unfair life.

  6. This game made me realize the struggle that refugees face, both in escaping their country and making a new life in a different one. I agree with whitney about it not being fair that they have no rights.

  7. Playing the game i realized how hard it is even to escape these places as a refugee. Then once you are out of there you are completely on your own. I agree with Greg about how their governments afford their people no rights.

  8. WOW! This game ahad a lot in it, and I was surprised (and frustrated) at how foreign I felt when I was trying to sort the things from where they were invented haha. But when all the people were being discriminate, it made me want to hit them haha! I felt like I was actually that foreigner, and I realized how hard their life must be!!! (Well refugees- and well any foreigner really). I got so engrossed in the game- Im going to miss my little foreigner buddy. =(

  10. When i was playing the gam i relaized how hard it was for refugees to escape. And once you do get out of there it is hard to start a new life because you are totally on your own. I agree with sam that all people should be treated equally. And its sad that they have no rights and almost nothing to their name.

  11. I agree with Rebecca, it may be hard for a refugee to start a new life once they escape because they are completely on their own.

  13. When i plaied the game i relized that you cant really rely on other people to help you escape because they may betray you or you have to make a choice to abandon them. I notice that the choices you make will make a huge diffrent on what happens in the long run. Also I shocked to see how compation and kindness disappears when others are place in a dangerous situation. I agree with rebacca that it is hard to escape.

  14. After playing this game I saw that it's really hard to escape and also once escaped it's almost impossible for refugee's to find places to stay and also that a lot of people don't support or like them being in their country.

  16. i relized that life for them was hard because it was hard to find a place to live beacuse of who you were and what country you were from.

  17. After playing this game, i realized how hard it can be for a refugee that is escaping to a new country. Difficult decisions had to be made like choosing people and supplies to leave behind on there journey to "freedom". When they reached the new country, they faced racial discrimination and were not properly welcomed. Finding a job was hard in may cases because of the language barrier between cultures. I think more steps should be taken in ensuring that refugees that come to our country do not face these difficulties and can start their new life. i agree with casey, many refugees feel like they can't do anything because of the racism they encounter.

  18. This game is a real eye-opener to the struggles that refugees face daily in foreign countries. I believe that police brutality is a huge issue in today's world. I disagree with Travis.

  19. I aslo agree with with Travis, refugees have no rights and that is very unfair

  20. Refugees have so many struggles to get away and while facing them they have to secretly get in shorts amount of time. It's not right that they have to deal with this in a government that doesn't want to protect them. I agree with Casey about how much discrimination they face when they finally get out.

  22. Refugees struggle with everything they do in there daily life. People think since there from a different country they cant go and do things an american person would do. American's look at them as if there nobodys. People won't sell someone a phone because there from a different country. I agree with Renee its not right that they have to deal with our government.

  27. Refugees are people who must go through loosing their family house or even country they are then isolated from it alll and seem to loose everything they knew and loved. Refugees do not choose this but immagrants choose to be apart from their family or country that pervents them from having free will. i agree with feilica.

  34. While playing this game it made think of the troubles people have by just going over a border. Citizens of that nation have immediate stereotypes of foreigners by what they just hear over the internet, radio, etc. I also agree with Whitney and the limited rights they have
