The arrival (3pts)

 Shaun Tan’s arrival ;

This wordless comic was beautiful really I felt like I was feeling everything they drew . I felt like I was living the story. It is about a guy immigrating from his country or maybe city but where he came from was in really bad shape and where he went was so different than the previous one in a good way. But as an international student, where the character had hardships in the new country they went to rather it be understanding the new language or the food or even things like the housing I remembered the first interactions I did in these matters in the US and it was heartwarming to see. It can be difficult and it definitely is scary but it is a new experience a new home and you get used to it. After that, it is beautiful like in the end especially when he reunited with his family I really felt a joy in my heart and when the little girl also helped someone after they came it was like a loop too. Well also in another way when I was reading the first part it reminded me of the Syrian refugees that came to Turkey no one helped them except us no one opened arms neither Europe not Americans it is so hard for them nowadays. They only took the more educated ones or the rich traveled by themselves which is not humanitarian.. I also felt for them at first I try my best to help them and I am reminded how scary being in a foreign country is.
