Struggle to find their place from "summary" of When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson,Omar Mohamed
Life in the refugee camp is not easy for young people like Omar and Hassan. They face many challenges as they try to navigate their way through a complex and uncertain world. One of the biggest struggles they face is the constant search for a place where they belong, where they can feel safe and accepted. Living in a crowded and often inhospitable camp, it can be hard for Omar and Hassan to find their place among so many others who are also struggling to survive. They must constantly fight for basic necessities like food, water, and shelter, making it difficult to focus on anything else. Despite their best efforts, Omar and Hassan often feel lost and disconnected from the world around them. They long for a sense of purpose and belonging, but it seems like an impossible dream in the harsh reality of the camp. As they grow older, Omar and Hassan must also grapple with the expectations and limitations placed on them by their circumstances. They are forced to confront difficult choices and make sacrifices in order to survive, further complicating their search for a place where they can be themselves. Throughout their journey, Omar and Hassan must rely on their resilience and determination to overcome the obstacles in their path. They learn that finding their place in the world is not just about physical location, but about finding a sense of belonging within themselves. And despite all the challenges they face, they never give up hope that one day they will find the place where they truly belong.
