OBAA Comparison to A.O.W

           An individual from Of Beetles And Angels would be the World Relief Organization, an individual from my article of the week would be the International Organization for Migration. In Of Beetles And Angels, the author states "As part of the resettling process, World Relief would have to identify American sponsors who would find the refugees housing, furniture,jobs, medical treatment, and schools-everything that they would need to get on their feet." This is explaining what the World Relief Organization does for the refugees and how it helps them. In my article the author states "Both Moraes and Doyle say a system of orderly resettlement is the only way Europe will be able to stem the deaths in the Mediterranean and end the grueling treks across the continent." This shows how they plan on helping the refugees by resettling them, which is similar to what World Relief is doing in Of Beetles And Angels.

         An idea from Of Beetles And Angels would be to be kind and respect others no matter how they look like, and an idea from my article of the week would be to make new systems for migrants and refugees. In Of Beetles And Angels, the author states "People always mistreated the angels, my father said, because the angels never look like angels." Mawi is trying to say that many people judge others by the way they look, and then people mistreat them when they judge people. Mawi believes that God sent angels looking like beetles to test people. In my article of the week, the author states "The system has been shaken by the way Syria's war has spiralled, and spreading violence in neighboring Libya and parts of Iraq." There saying that ever since Syria's war and so many refugees have been resettling the system is showing that it isn't working as well as they thought it did. Therefore they believe that there should be a new system for the migrants and refugees.

          War affects individuals and societies by having to make the individuals resettle and find a new safe place, and the society to make a plan or system for the refugees. In Of Beetles And Angels the author states "But I do remember seeking safety in a Sudanese refugee camp in Umsagata, a small dusty village of straw and mud adobes." This shows how the war affected Mawi and his family into having to move into a whole new place in order to be safe. In the camp, they had a scarce amount of food and supplies, and had a small education. This proves that war also affects your education because, due to the war and having to move into am refugee camp, the kids aren't getting the education they need or the neccesities that they need.
