Part 1) (For reference) "Nadia never thought she would miss her refugee camp one day." This line from Mohsin Hamid's Exit West describes how Nadia, the main character, feels as a refugee. She is uprooted and confused. Nadia is forced to leave her home country, and when she does, she finds herself missing a place she never thought she'd feel attached to. This quote shows how uprooting is hard on your emotions and how hard it is to get used to a new place. It also talks about how many refugees lose touch with who they are as they try to find their place in a new place. "Exit West is a book about how hard and complicated it is for immigrants and refugees to find their own identity" (Review of a Book, The Guardian). This part of The Guardian's book review shows that Exit West is a book that looks at the problems that immigrants and refugees face with identity and moving. It suggests that the book is about how hard it is to find your own identity in a new place and how being uprooted affects your mind. This is an important idea because it shows how hard it is to be a refugee and how many refugees and immigrants have to learn about themselves and figure out who they are. The quote from the original source backs up this idea because it shows how hard it is for Nadia to deal with her feelings and get used to a new place.
