Reflection
Having the refugee experience can be very dangerous and difficult. A refugee is a person who flees to a foreign country or power to escape danger. The narrator meets two sisters from Pakistan and there name is Shireen and Meena. Both sisters had to come to America to have a better life. When their father had opposed Saddam Hussein and the birth of Shireen, their father life was in danger and also their life too. Everything has come so difficult for them. They struggle to find a place where come be safe. Also, their family spent day’s just drinking salt water. When they overcame their struggles, they have become stronger. Now, they have learned from their experiences and living in a better place. In my opinion, my grandmother went though the same problem. I could wear certain clothing because it will be disrespectful as well for the Kurdish sisters. Therefore, this article was really interesting and learned the customs of Pakistan as a female.
K.W.L.
I know that a person who lives in Pakistan is going though refugee experiences. Many people want to come to America to have freedom. I will like to know to learn more about Pakistan’s customs. I learned what refugee meant. This article made realize that I should be more grateful. Many people who live in country like Pakistan do not have freedom. Therefore, Americans should be thankful for having freedom.

The Library’s Future, with or without books
Reflection
Technology is rapidly changing our world. This is improving our way of living. Imagine a library without books and you will be able to find the books though Goggle. Well, this is going to become true. The library system is going change to digital library. Many people are use to going to the internet to look up for information but now you could look up for books and much more. There are library that have changed already. For instance, in Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, in North Carolina, has room where kids could shoot videos and record music. Even the name librarians will change. Instead using the name librarians is a possible the name would change into “information specialist” or “information scientists”. In my opinion, I highly believe that change is a great idea especially if it going to benefit my learning. I love going to library but this is going to motivate students to go to the library.
K.W.L.
I know many people will be excited to go to digital library. This will be new for many people but this is being a great change. I will like to know is when public library is will change into a digital library. I learned that many things are changing so quickly even the way we live. I also wonder what will be the next great idea or invention that will change our society.

I also learned the average we blink is about 15 times a minute. Therefore, eye communication is really important.
