"We Are Orphans Here"

This essay shows a very informative and sad story about the events that are taking place in the middle east. The author describes how the refugee camp is, how people manage to live there and how different is there lifestyle different from us. She wants people to know how life is there, giving many backgrounds about how the camp was formed and also the image that outsiders have of the camp.
Additionally, she focuses more on one of her characters which were Baha Nababta. She shares the image that she has of him and also how people in the camp loved him. Mainly because, what she saw in him was that he was someone that even in the conditions that they are living, he still wanted to be positive and help others. You can clearly see this when she says that people reached to him in every situation that they have good or bad, also when she says that everybody wants to talk with him or even if he was passing by everybody wants to greet him. He was most like an idol in this community. This shows how he not only wants to improve his life and conditions but also the situations of others too. This way he tried to help them with their problems and most importantly, he transmitted an image of hope out of all the war that people had experience. Sadly when other people see this they want to stop that. The end of the essay was really sad, I can't even imagine what his wife is going to do and how sad people in the camp was. I think this essay was a way to show other people how Baha was, all the good things that he did and how important he was for people in the camp.  Also, I think the author used it a way to show respect and love for him.
