OBAA and AOW Comparison 9/24/15

      The book Of Beetles & Angels and the article "Kerry: US to accept 85,000 refugees in 2016, 100,000 in 2017" have groups of people in the that are very similar to each other. In the Of Beetles & Angels Mawi the main character arrives to American and his father comes down with Malaria this shown on page 21 "My father lay shivering under a blanket, his head aflame in fever, and Beth, a nurse knew instantly that he had malaria. We did not have access to medical care, so she went to a physician friend to obtain the medication my father needed." This shows the reader that without the help of Beth they would not been able to gain the medice .  In the article  "Kerry: US to accept 85,000 refugees in 2016, 100,000 in 2017"  talks about how the U.S is going to accept refugees to help those in the war torn countries this shown on paragraph 2 of the first page "The U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and that total would rise to 100,000 in 2017.." This shows the reader how organziation and people help refugees when they are in need.  Another way that these to piece are similar is shown through the book which is that they both left their countries and lost their home, and their extend family for a better future. This can be interpretate as though they believed that America is a good country and better then the one they are currently. 

                 Events in the article "Kerry: US to accept 85,000 refugees in 2016, 100,000 in 2017" and events in the book "Of Beetles & Angels" are similar. This is shown in the article when the author conveys that Syria is being torn in the increasely long war "the uptick in migration five years into the civil war was being driven" Which shows the reader how the war is becoming increasely long and it not stopping any time soon.  In the book Of Beetles & Angels it stated  Mawi lives his country because his country is in a war that is extremely long "My homelands of Eritrea and Ethiopia fought in a deadly cvil war."  This quote shows the reader that Mawi's country fought in a long civil war. These two events are similar because they are both wars, cause many people to have to leave they country do to the voilence, and both are civil war. The second event is that America is bringing many refugees affect by the war to keep them save this is shown in Of Beetles & Angels when Mawi says "Then we enter the plane and took off from Khartoun. Next stop, Athens. Then Amerikha, and there, a new life." This tellls me that this family is coming to America for refugee, In the article they say "The U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the next year" This shows the reader how America is helping those in need during war.

                 War has a very severe affects on scoiety do to the fact that they this event will destroy a country. Another effect that war has on society is that a large amount of money has to be used to rebuild the city. An indivual will suffer greatly do to the fact that many people will lose their loved oned and cause a depression to those. Also indivuals will have to leave their country and will have to leave the place they grow up. All in all war has nearly no positive affect and everyone involved is affect terribly.
