Summary Of Home By Sarah Keynon Lise

In literary works, the strong messages and ideas presented by an author whether it may be real world connections or an individual experience that engages the reader and manipulation one's emotions in order to mak a reader feel something and gain a message from the text. In the essay, Causes and Consequences of Conflict-Induced Displacement by Sarah Keynon Lischer and the story poem, “Home” by Warson Shire both texts expanded upon modern-day struggles for an individual group of people in distinct ways but both providing the same key message. Sarah Keynon Lischer idea about political violence affecting refugees helps me understand the fictional source “Home” by Warson Shire, through race, to convey the theme that war and political violence dehumanizes

a person.
Sarah Keynon Lischer’s essay Causes and Consequences of Conflict-Induced Displacement develops the idea of humanitarianism and the struggle for people who are caught in the displacement crisis. Lischer expands in the text, “Governments who want to downplay the displacement crisis, may prevent aid groups from reaching the displaced people. Self-settled groups tend to receive less than refugees in camps… ” (Lischer 12). The author sheds lights upon the government's attempts to hide the battle refugees have to face in their own countries and prevent local aid to come to them fearing they will find out the reality for these people. However, for self-settled groups, the challenge is even greater due to the fact that aid groups find it easier logistically for them to work in camps. To elaborate upon the struggle and injustice the text states, "Internally displaced populations do not share the same international legal protection as refugees, in theory because they are still under the protection of their home state. In reality, the type of violence that causes their displacement – often government persecution – makes them even more vulnerable than refugees"(Lischer 10). This quote elaborates upon the fact that most population of displaced individuals were not given the same legal protection assay refugees, simply because they were protected under their home state and did not need any help during their struggle. However, they needed this added protection because they were much more defenseless when it came to protecting themselves against the brutality that came with their displacement. Sarah Keynon Lischer’s amplified the human suffering race groups and refugees had to go through with biases against them caused by the displacement crisis.
Warson Shire’s short poem “Home” explains the endless internal battle between one’s self to run away from a disarranged area that is called home.

As written in the text, “No one chooses refugee camps or strip searches where your body is left aching or prison, because prison is safer” (Shire 2). The author explains in the text the constant push towards people, getting forced into dilapidated camps with no hope of finding a way out because they know what they will meet if they try to escape. No more than rapers and heinous people ready to throw aside their integrity in order to destroy an individual whether physically or emotionally. Along with the constant struggle to find safety in a new location, Shire goes on to write, “I don’t know what i’ve become but i know that anywhere is safer than here” (Shire 3). This quote conveys the broad topic that any ounce of what made people human has completely left them. They are left with the guns, bomb, and weapons that have killed their loved ones and blew up their house. They are with the dried up blood on the battles. It is dispersed everywhere throughout the country. The simple phrase, “be yourself” means nothing to them because no one knows who they are after all they have put been through. They have lost so much but the most important thing people have lost is themselves. All they want is escape from their so-called home. Warsan Shire’s ability to express the internal struggle that many took through war expands on the broader topic that the definition of home after these experience could be an endless

nightmare.
Warson Shire’s short poem “Home” helps one understand Sarah Keynon Lischer’s essay Causes and Consequences of Conflict-Induced Displacement through race to convey the theme that war deforms one’s will leading them towards freedom from violence. In the poem, the author illustrates, “Fire under feet hot blood in your belly it’s not something you ever thought of doing… only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets… made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back” (Shire 1). Shire makes this statement in an attempt to expand on the insufferable amount of fortitude it took this specific race of people to be able to bear such physical pain brought to them from the war as an a equivalent to walking on sizzling fire. Only to hover over a toilet tearing apart the most important document that can help you escape, knowing you will never be able to live your free life all because of violent combat that you have no say in, in your own home. At the same time, Sarah Keynon Lischer had written, “The government has destroyed hundreds of villages, displacing around two million people. The camps for the displaced people have been attacked by government soldiers and also served as recruitment pools for the rebel forces”(Lischer 3). Sarah Keynon Lischer explains that the force behind all of this brutality is no more than the government and political influence throughout the area. The one force that is supposed to protect its people is destroying territories, dispersing residence all over the place making them reside in unkept camps which are used as a common place for rebel forces. Shire’s idea about people's endless bloodshed and desire for freedom helps one understand Sarah Keynon Lischer’s views that political violence contributes to the immeasurable amount of tolerance many refugees must have in order to bear everything that comes their way.
Both Sarah Keynon Lischer and Warson Shire, in their works, address the theme that war dehumanizes a person. People of different ethnicity that have bared more than others are still looked down upon, especially when they live in heavenly active war zones. Most of them die to try to survive while others escape feeling lost in who they are wishing they had perished a long time ago. However, in modern day people are more open and accepting to help the foreign refugees that come into our land. They are all broken down with the feeling of weakness in their bodies but freedom in their hearts hoping that we as a community, people as one can help their transitions and revivals.
