ReplyDeletePeople are wicked prejudice and keep questioning my person. They have a hard life trying to escape and being pressured by their government. I couldnt get passed the origin one.
ReplyDeleteThe game against all odds was a really hard game and it makes you really think about how all the refugees feel when they come to a new country and have to start a new life it is very complicated.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for a refugee to become successful in a world full of prejudice people.
ReplyDeleteGood point Terri
ReplyDeleteYou have to be for yourself and no one else to survive. If u want to help a friend, you cant because it will ruin your chances of surviving yourself!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm ever in that situation, I'm leaving all my friends behind!
Adam-WORRRDDD.
ReplyDeleteThis game effictively displays the tough life and discriminating prejudices that refugees face every day. This game makes one symphasize with these people.
ReplyDeleteits hard for refugees to find work and be successful
ReplyDeletein this game it is hard to get a job and do things without getting questioned or discriminated. shelbi said People are wicked prejudice and keep questioning my person. and that kept happening to my person too, it shows how predjudice people can be sometimes
ReplyDeleteIn the game I found that it is very difficult to find a hiding place in a bordering country. People rejected you, the church was closed, and you had no money. If you made the wrong decision there was a risk of being killed or arrested.
ReplyDeletethere is alot of hate crimes just for ure relgion

ReplyDelete-alex amado-
i learned that you would have to agree with EVERYTHING the government said or else you would get beaten.
ReplyDeleteits bad that u dont get treated rite or like other people jus because u r a little different
ReplyDeleteit shows how hard it is to get away and how poorly people are treated
ReplyDeletei learnd that you can't trust anyone in this game and when it comes to leaving someone behind you have to do it.
ReplyDeletei agree with stephanie. there were really no places to hide and a lot of people rejecting you when you asked for help
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get past the part where we had to navigate through the town...I figured your really can't escape a military like that...
ReplyDeleteThe Police killed my guy after i told them i whould not renounce my faith. Through this game one learns about the desturction of morality within other countrys that do not have the same basi rights that we do.
ReplyDeletei was pretty mad that none of the stores would sell me anything and everyone was talking smack just becuase of my race...thats messed up.

i felt really bad, and i also came to the conclusion that i would fail in those types of conditionsssss
ReplyDeleteThis game is about doing what you have to do for yourself. You have to leave everything behind and do whats best for yourself.
ReplyDeleteits sad that the people had to check her bag just because she was a foreigner.
ReplyDeleteit sucks for those prople who work there buts off and get no money.

ReplyDeleteHomosexuals are looked down upon, and mistreated each and every day. Noone should be treated badly because of their sexual orientation.
ReplyDeletethis game tells tou how hard it would be to tack criutisim and hoe people always stair at you
ReplyDeleteI learned that any little mistake can be very crucial. In this game you have a second chance or more, but in real life you dont. I agree with most of these people, your hated just because of you religion, it is very true.
