8th Example: Why is it important to be welcoming toward refugees in your community?

A: It is important to be welcoming toward refugees because a refugee can face many challenges.

C: For example, Kristin Lewis wrote in "From War to America" that a refugee faces challenges such as facing traumatic events, learning a new language, and trying to fit into a new culture (8).

E: This shows that a refugee already faces hardships, and it would not be fair to cause another hardship for them instead of being kind to them.

7th Example: Why did Hurricane Maria cause such destruction for Puerto Rico?

A: Hurricane Maria caused so much destruction for Puerto Rice because Puerto Rico struggled to recover after the storm.

C: Kristin Lewis wrote in "Island of Sorrow" that the recovery for Puerto Rico was very slow and for months after many people still did not have electricity, phone service, or internet (9).

E: This shows that the island struggled to help their residents because the amount of damage done to the island took a long time to repair.
