Look at this map to get an idea where Syria is in relation to the European Union.
Answer the following questions related to the article:
1. How is Hungary trying to keep refugees from crossing its border?
2. Explain the journey that many refugees have been trying to make through the Mediterranean Sea.
3. In the four years since the Syrian civil war began, how many people have been displaced by the war either in their own country or to another country?
4. What does US Secretary of State John Kerry say is "preventing this crisis from ending"?
5. How many refugees has President Barack Obama pledged to take in over the coming year?
6. Should the US allow these Syrian refugees into the country? How responsible should the country be for helping to care for them while they are here?
7. Look at the first picture that is featured with this story (of the little boy in the train window). Why do you think this picture is placed where it is? What sort of impact does this picture have on people who are reading this article?

ReplyDelete1. Hungary is using metal fences, water cannons and tear gas.
2. They have crossed through Turkey, to Greece and then up through the Balkans to former Yugoslavia.
3. 4.4 million People have been displaced.
4. They are missing countries with influence.
5. President Obama has pledged to take in 10,000 refugees.
6. The U.S can only let in a certain amount of people. It is Syria’s fault that they are in a war, so they need to be held accountable and be punished for all the refugees that are escaping because they are leaving the war, and I don’t blame them.
7. They put it there because they want people to see how desperate these people are even before they read the article. It gives us an image of how desperate the refugees are.

7. IT IS PLACED THERE FOR PEOPLE TO GET FEELINGS. THE REPORTER THOUGHT, " OH IF I PUT THIS HERE, PEOPLE WILL FEEL SORRY FOR THEM AND AGREE TO WHAT I AM SAYIING." THIS PICTURE DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SUPPOSED TO DO, GIVE PEOPLE THE FEELS.

2. Many refugees have been trying to paddle through the Mediterranean sea to get to Europe.
3. three million
4.the negotiation
5. ten-thousand
6. I think the different countries should get together and form a plan on how to take care of the refugees because it is not fair for them to stay where they are and be treated poorly but one country shouldn't have on overwhelming number of refugees to be responsible for. I think they should try to create jobs and somewhere for them to live.
7. I think they placed the picture where it is to give people an idea of the situations the kids and their families are in. The picture makes it more serious ,sad, and makes you soft-hearted towards the refugees.

1. Hungary is trying to keep refugees from crossing its border by using a metal fence, tear gas, and a water cannon.
2. The refugees move across the water from Turkey to Greece and then up through Balkans and then to Yugoslavia.
3. 1,500 refugees have been taken in since the Syrian War began.
4. US Secretary of State John Terry believes that the negotiation is what is preventing the crisis from ending.
5. Barack Obama pledged to take in 10,000 refugees in the coming year.
6. I believe the US should allow these Syrian refugees into the country. The US should be very responsible at caring for these refugees because everyone gets treated equally in the United States.
7. I believe this picture is placed where it is so that readers can create a soft bond with the whole article's purpose. This picture however, could create a weird impact on readers because it is making the little boy look poor, which may make readers uncomfortable.

6. I think the US should allow the refugees in the country, and I think that we should provide vaccinations and to some extent housing and food. I do think we should have a limit on how many refugees we let in and make sure we are prepared for the amount we are letting in.
7. I think it is put there to set a sympathetic mood on the article. It makes the reader more empathetic to the refugees.

3. Around 3 million.
4. There is no negotiation.
5. 10,000
6. I think that the US should allow the refuges into the country because they need shelter. The country should be responsible for feeding them and making sure that they are healthy, but not to the point where they're being treated like they can't take care of themselves.
7. I think the picture is placed where it is because it captures people's attention of what it really looks like to need shelter and help, and it gives the impact on people that this is more of a serious issue.

4. that they haven't got to the negotiation yet.
5. 10 thousand
6. The US should allow them into the country because this country is based on the idea of people from all over the world coming here and mixing cultures, traditions, etc. I mean, the united states was colonized by people who wanted to escape from their homeland (Great Britain) so it would be ironic if we didn't let the Syrian refugees into the country. Although, i think that the country shouldn't be that responsible for taking care of them.
7. The picture influences people to fell sympathetic for the Syrian refugees.
Chris Perkins
ReplyDelete1. Hungary is using a metal fence, tear gas, and water cannon to keep refugees out.
2. A journey many refugees have taken is crossing the sea, even in giant waves from turkey to Greece, then through Balkans to the members of the EU around Yugoslavia.
3. An estimated three million refugees have been displaced since the war.
4. John Kerry is saying that countries like Russia and Iran with influence doing nothing is "preventing the crisis from ending".
5. Barack Obama is promising to take in 10,000 refugees over the coming year.
6. Yes, I think we should take some in and help them get on their feet if they're going to stay here, or help a lot who could stay until peace.
7. I think the picture is placed there, so people realize that it's not all political, but about actual innocent people and children. This picture softens the reader's heart before reading, so they aren't just like, "We can't allow a bunch of immigrants it'll limit our jobs." The picture helps show us we need to be helping them.

7.It is placed there to show the true side of war and impacts the people with its horrors, many may think it's a patriotic game of the best wins, when it truly comes down to it no one wins a war.

7: To show the pain the refugees go through and it affects. The reader begins to feel more empathy for the cause because of the child.

ReplyDelete1. Hungary is trying to keep migrants out of the country by using metal fences, tear gas, and water cannons on them.
2. The journey that the refugees have been taking has involved them crossing the rough Mediterranean Sea and then moving upwards towards the Balkans and the former Yugoslavia.
3. More than three million refugees have been displaced by the Iranian war.
4. John Kerry believes that not being able to negotiate to end the Syrian war is what’s preventing the crisis from ending.
5. President Obama has committed to taking care of 10,000 more refugees.
6. I believe that we should help the refugees in need but they should still help to carry their weight while they are over here.
7. I believe that they put this picture at the beginning of the article to make you feel sorry for him, so you will continue reading the article and maybe try and help these people.

4. John Kerry says lack of a negotiation is preventing this crisis from ending.
5. Obama has accepted 10,000 refugees to come in.
6. We should be aloud to let them into the country and we should supply them with a place to rest, food to eat, and jobs.
7. This picture is used to help people feel sympathetic towards the refugees. It will make people feel bad for them and agree with letting them into our country.

3. 3,000,000,000.
4. The stalling of a negotiation between countries with influence.
5. 10,000.
6. I believe that, as the richest country in the world, we have a responsibility to help war-torn and poor countries, such as Syria, and their refugees. Although I don’t believe that we should just ship them all over here, we should at least try to support them. As for the refugees who do end up coming to America, I think that we should help them but not pay for everything they do. These people should be given opportunities to start a new life, not an opportunity to live off our government.
7. I think that picture was placed at the beginning of the article so that the reader would immediately emphasize with the refugees. And yes, I do think it has an impact on how people read this article. Who would look at a sad little war refugee boy and say, “Keep them out of our country!”
Brianna Ashcraft
ReplyDelete1.) Hungary is doing so by putting up a metal fence, using tear gas, and water cannons.
2.) They go across the water from Turkey to Greece and then up through the impoverished Balkans to the former Yugoslavia, of which Croatia and Slovenia are members of the EU.
3.) Over 160,000 refugees.
4.) The negotiation is what they need and they are hoping Russia and Iran, and any other countries with influence, will help to bring about that.
5.) Approximately 10,000 more.
6.) I don’t think we should let the refugees into our country. I believe that because Syria is not the friendliest country to us. I don’t think we would be able to determine if there are terrorists in all of the refugees because the United States and Syria aren’t sister countries. I think we should make our country strong and figure out all the terrorists and problems before we take on something as big as refugees from another country. I don’t think we should be that responsible for their care, we should focus on our citizens before non US citizens.
7.) I think this picture is posted here for a reason and that is because this might be one of the first thing they see when they look at the article and it could change the way you think about the article. I think it could make people feel worse for the refugees of Syria and it would make them second guess themselves in terms of what they believe is the right thing to do.

6. I believe the US should allow the refugees into the country, as well as provide support (money) to ensure that they resettle with ease.
7. The picture makes the reader sympathize with the refugees and gives a somewhat antagonistic appearance to those who turn away refugees. It’s placed at the very beginning, making it the first thing you notice on the page, which helps establish a slight bias in the reader.

2.Many have crossed the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. They went across the water from Turkey to Greece and up through Balkans to Yugoslavia.
3.Three million
4.He said negotiating is preventing this crisis from ending.
5.10,000 refugees
6.Yes, because these refugees are just like the rest of Americans. Most of our ancestors came from a different country and being here gave us freedoms and opportunities that some countries don’t offer. I think the country could care for them just like they care for us. Under the age of 18, they are considered a child in the United States and they can receive help from the government. Adult refugees would need to work and probably learn enough English to communicate with employers.
7.I think this picture was placed at the beginning to show how this young boy’s life is changing so much just from getting the chance to leave his dangerous country.The impact of this picture is that it makes viewers show sympathy for the young boy without even knowing the back story. His emotions are quite ambiguous in the photo pertaining to if he is amazed that he is free of his home land or if he is scared of what is awaiting him in his new surroundings.

7. It shows just how bad it really is and how this little boy might or might not be alone riding this train. It impacts the readers by showing how others are in worse situations than our first world problems we constantly complain out.

ReplyDelete1) They have a metal fence and used tear gas along with a water cannon to block their southern border.
2) "across the water from Turkey to Greece and then up through the impoverished Balkans to the former Yugoslavia, of which Croatia and Slovenia are members of the EU."
3) 3 million.
4) That there has not been a negotiation about the war and the refugee problems. He is hoping that countries like Russia and Iran will help.
5) 10,000.
6) I think that they should be allowed in but only for the right reasons and with the proper background checks. They should be allowed to get into the country...LEGALLY. I believe that this relates and is the same as immigrants entering the U.S. If you become a legal citizen of that certain country, then that country should then have a responsibility to help care for you.
7) I think that this picture is placed at the very top to grab the reader's attention and make them want to read more. Some people show their soft side when it comes to kids, even more so when it involves dangerous journeys and terrible risks. This picture makes the reader feel for the children and their families. It is acting like one of those commercials that you see on T.V. about feeding the children overseas. In this article, it makes t=you want to read about what is going on that is causing all of this anyway. It is acting as the "hook sentence" of an introductory paragraph.

1. Hungary used a metal fence, tear gas and water cannons to keep refugees from crossing the border.
ReplyDelete2. Their journey trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea has been tough. The rough waves of the sea, engine failure from the boats and even death.
3. Around three million people have been displaced since the Syrian War.
4. Little to no negotiation from the country and no influence from Russian or Iran is preventing it from ending.
5. President Obama has pledged to take 10,000 more refugees.
6. Some part of me believes that the U.S should allow these refugees to enter. If we allowed them to enter, they would have a much better life here than they would in Syria. There would be better education and economic opportunities for them. Then the other half of me says no. If we allowed them to come here, would that just create bigger problems to the one we are trying to help end. Would they just take advantage of the opportunity if it was given to them. At first, the country should be responsible for them (helping them with housing, food, money/jobs, etc) for a period of them. Then, after that period, the country should no have to take care of them.
7. I believe that it is placed there to show that not only are adults trying to escape, but also children and the tough times they are going through. It’s supposed to have a lasting impact. To make you feel “bad” for the situation that they’re going through right now.
Alex George
ReplyDelete1) Hungary is using metal fences, tear gas, and water cannons on its southern border with Serbia to bar their route into their country.
2) The immigrants have been trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece and then up through the Balkans to Croatia and Slovenia. Almost 500,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year.
3) An estimated three million Syrians have fled the war and many more are displaced inside their country.
4) We need to get to the negotiation. That is what we're asking for help from Russia and Iran, and any other countries with influence, to help end the war.
5) 10,000 more over the coming year.
6) I believe that the United States should not allow any refugees into the country because it could become a huge security risk, because terrorists could gain easy access into the country by blending in with the refugees and begin to spread death and destruction in the US. The country should look after the refugees very carefully and make sure they get a lot of care and hopefully get as many of them out of the country and back to their homeland once they negotiate a treaty and everything becomes peaceful again.
7) The picture depicts the death and despair of what is going on in the Middle East and that it is not something that should be taken lightly and is a very serious matter. The little boy is leaving everything that he has ever known in the hopes of finding a better life in a new country. It really touches readers that we have it easy here in America while all around us people are fighting to survive one day at a time. A lot of the refugees have to think when are they going to have their next meal or where are they going to sleep tonight when all we have to do is go to the refrigerator to get something to eat or just go to our own bed in our own room. I believe that the picture really shows people the world is not so perfect after all.
Burton Drawhorn 6th 9th 9/24/15
ReplyDelete1. Hungary used water cannons, a metal fence and tear gas to keep refuges out of its country.
2. Many people in need of aid and fleeing syria due to its civil war have been fleeing and crossing the Medditeranean Sea by boat to get from Turkey to Europe.
3. 3 million people and counting
4. He says the failure to have negotiation is what is causing the problem.
5. He has committed to welcoming 10,000 people.
6. I do not believe we should take in more immigrants because we already have so many illigal aliens in this country that are not paying taxes. We should make them become citizens before letting them in or give them temporary aid and then if they want to become a citizen then let them. Record who they are and if they come in and dont leave after a period of time deport them.
7. This picture is there clearly to show people how in distress they are over in Syria and Europe. Another reason it is there to maybe entice the reader to read the article and learn more about what it going on.

6. We should not let them in! They are not our responsibility so if we do end up letting them in we definitley should not be responsible for them while they are here.
7. It is placed there to try and convey the severity of the immigrants not having anywhere to go. When a person sees this they would most likely be more mindful and feel bad for the people and understand why so many of them are moving.

6. No they should not! This country is falling apart enough already. We don't need another 12,000 mouths to feed and house. This country doesn't have the money being in debt 16 trillion dollars. And with the fact that all the terrorist attacks don't make the refugees look any better. We have enough people coming into this country illegally across the border.
7. It is to make you feel bad and want to help the refugees in the war. It has a big impact on th reader, it makes you want to find out why the child is in such pain and worry.

6. I think that the US should allow refugees into the country, because they need our help. But if the US allows them into our country, we are responsible for helping care for them, because we willingly took them in and offered them safety in our country.
7. I think the picture was placed where it was to give the readers a hint of what life in Syria is like. It may have different impacts on different readers- some people may just ignore the photo, while others might take it into deep consideration while reading the article.

4.there not being a negotiation is preventing this from ending
5. 10,000
6.yes, i believe so, because they have no where else to go. if they were to stay in their own country they could be killed or seriously injured. it is not safe to stay there, that is why so many people are leaving. the united states, should offer resources to these people, such as job offers and some financial help, because many had to leave everything behind.
7. this specific picture is placed where it is to already make readers feel emotional when they read the article. its put there to make the reader feel sympathetic to a child crying, rather than a picture of lines of people standing at the border of a country, trying to get in, which would promote more negative feelings.

1. Hungarian forces stopped the refugees from coming in by arming their Serbian-Hungarian border with a metal fence, tear gas, and (a) water cannon(s).
ReplyDelete2. In order to reach Europe, refugees must travel “across the water from Turkey to Greece and then up through the impoverished Balkans to the former Yugoslavia”.
3. 3,000,000 people have been displaced.
4. John Kerry says that we need to get a negotiation put forward by influential countries (such as Russia or Iran), and since they have yet to do that, it’s what’s preventing the war from ending.
5. 10,000 refugees.
6. Yes, the U.S. should allow the refugees into the country. They left Syria to look for a better life, with nowhere else to go (since the European Union seem to be pushing them out of their countries), and America is known for being The Land of Opportunities. We should provide them with their basic necessities and some money to begin with and then after a few months, let them provide for themselves as normal citizens.
7. This picture is placed at the beginning of the article most likely for the reader to connect the devastating information about what Hungary is doing to the refugees at their border and the look of heartbreak on the little boy’s face. It invokes a sadness in the reader, which persuades them to feel sorry for the refugees and presumably convinces them to support the welcoming of refugees into other countries.

ReplyDelete1. Hungary used a metal fence, tear gas, and water cannon on its southern border.
2. Refugees are struggling to get through the Mediterranean Sea because they are constantly trying to beat the storms. Since they are poor they have old worn down ships that keep failing on them also.

4. The United States, Russia, Iran, and other countries with influence need to all come to a negotiation.

6. No, we should not let them into our country because we have no relation with the Syrians. There government does nothing for the citizens of America and if we were in the same position they wouldn't do anything for us the citizens of America.
7. The picture of the little boy looking out the window tries to make the reader of the article feel bad for those immigrants.

6. The US should allow Syrian Refugees into the country because the United States is the "World's Police'' and always has been. If not for letting people in years ago to the US there would just be a couple people plus some Native Americans. They need to have a chance to succeed in life.
7. It puts an image in their mind that will stick and make the reader continue to think about it.

6. No. Extra careful. They need to pay close attention to what those people do. They are "Syrians", so you can't trust them.
7. So that could speak for the article. It shows or reminds them how bad the crossing was.

ReplyDelete1. By putting up metal fences with tear gas and water cannons.
2. They have to go through the ravenous waters of Turkey to Greece and then up through the Balkans to Yugoslavia in which many people drowned, boat sank, died, or lost on another island.

6. Yes, because if I was in their footsteps I would want someone who is willing to take me in and make me feel comfortable enough to make it feel like an actual home. We are totally responsible since we was the ones who invited them to our country which shows great hospitality, and the same goes for other countries that take them in and make them feel welcome.
7. To show what is happening and to show the expression of someone living in Syria and how it affects them in a major way in which even a child would want to leave the country to go to a better place that there which also implies that that country didn't treat their people who lived there very well. It makes the reader feel sympathy for the little boy and it makes you want to stand up and help him along with others who are in the same footsteps as him trying to go to a better place.

ReplyDelete1. They are using metal fences, tear gas, and water cannons.
2. The refugees are trying to beat rough seas, but along the way many have died, lost hope, and are having to paddle their way across the sea. They are crossing the Mediterranean Sea to get to places such as Turkey, Greece, and through the Balkans to former Yugoslavia.
3. Over 3 million people have been displaced.
4. A negotiation with any country that has influence.
5. He said he would take in 10,000 refugees.
6. I believe that the United States should do all that they can for the refugees, but always have surveillance on them while in the US. I think that the US should not be as responsible as the country they are citizens in, but should give them the resources they need to survive.
7. I think they placed the picture where they did so that at the beginning of the article everyone knows that this crisis is not only effecting adults, but that it is effecting the children too. I think the impact it has on people is that they are able to see a face that is affected by the crisis.
Dustin Spencer
ReplyDeleteHungary uses water filled cannons, wired fence, and tear gas to keep refugees from crossing their borders. The refugees got smart though, they use their hands to paddle 6 miles through the entire night through the Mediterranean Sea. 4.4 million people have been displaced since the civil war has started in Syrian. I think the U.S. should help these refugees. Iran, Russia, and other countries need to help as well. They should help anyway they can. Obama has pledged 10,000 refugees into our country. Since Obama pledged them in, then yes. He should make sure they get a job and then let them support themselves. The Little boy represents the sadness and disbelief for their country as they leave the destroyed cities.

6. I think we should let them into the country. I think we should care for them enough until they’re able to care for themselves. I think that if we help them then they might be able to help us later if we need it.
7. I think it is so that you will feel sorry for the migrants through the rest of the article. It shows how helpless they are.

6. yes, they should be responsible for taking care of the Syrian refugees because they have been through a lot.
7.I believe the picture is place where it is because it symbolizes the hurt, sadness and effect is has on all of the people going through that situation. I believe it has a strong impact on readers due to the picture symbolizing so many feelings.
Reagan Ray
ReplyDelete1. On it's southern border, Hungary used a metal fence, tear gas, and water cannons. On the Croatian frontier Hungarian soldiers raced to build another fence.
2. About 500,000 refugees have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe , crossing the water from Turkey to Greece and then up through Balkans to the former Yugoslavia, which Croatia and Slovenia are members of the EU.
3. About three million Syrians have been displaced in their country or in other countries.
4. Not having the negotiation is what is preventing this crisis from ending.
5. Barack Obama has pledged to take in 10,000 more refugees in the net year.
6. Yes, but they should have an organization(s) that the government would pay to take care of them.
7.This picture is here to grab your attention and get in your feels. This picture makes the reader feel bad for the little boy without even having to read anything.
Abbey Ray,
ReplyDelete1. Hungary used a metal fence, tear gas, and water cannons to attempt to keep refugees from crossing the border.
2. Refugees have been trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece, then through the Balkans to the former Yugoslavia.
3. About three million Syrians have been displaced by the war in their country or in another country.
4. US Secretary of State John Kerry says that a negotiation is "preventing this crisis from ending" and hopefully influential countries, Russia, and Iran are going to bring this about.
5. President Obama has pledged that 10,000 refugees will come to the US within the next year.
6. I think that the US should allow Syrian refugees into the country for protection. The US should supply food and make sure that they have shelter, but should not just let them live for free. Syrian refugees should have to work at least a little bit to be allowed to stay in the US.
7. This picture of the little boy is the first thing that you see when you pull up the website so you tend to think about this picture as you read. People are usually more affectionate to kids and while reading this, people would more than likely feel bad for this little boy rather than the adults that appear later in the article.

6. No because we already have all these other immigrants coming in from Mexico and other places and we don’t need that responsibility; Well, I think that we could hold them for a little while but I don’t think we should let them live here, so I think we can have a little responsibility.
7. To get people to see how unprivileged these immigrants are.; It gets people to show sympathy and want the people to feel bad for them so they could be okay with them coming and living in this country.
Avery Thomas

4. The lack of help from countries with influence like Iran and Russia.
5. 10,000
6. Our country was built on the idea of independence for those whose government is suffering and equality for all, so I think it against our morals not to take in refugees, especially in this type of crisis. We should give them equal opportunities as any other citizen and help them stop what is tearing their home apart.
7. I think the picture is there to grab your attention and make you feel sorry for all the children whose life is being ripped away from them. It makes you want to take action and do something to stop his pain.

6. It could be considered okay for the U.S. to allow a set number of refugees into the country, preventing the possibility of letting in more refugees than the country could handle.
The U.S should only be required to give each refugee a certain amount of aid so that parasitic relations between the refugees and the country will not form.
7. The placement of the picture forces readers to see just a small fragment of how the refugees are being impacted by the crisis. The picture almost makes the reader feel sorry for the boy, possibly making them feel more sympathy for the refugees and others affected.

6.Yes I think we should help them but we can't really take in that many people without homes, jobs , vehicles, etc. If America didn't have homeless people or people starving then maybe it could be different.
7. It is placed in the beginning of the article so you automatically feel bad for the people and want to help them.

6. Yes, the country should be very responsible for taking care of the syrian refugees. I think we should love them and take them in with open arms.Not only will it reflect good on the citizens as loving people, it will also reflect on our country to other countries that we are a good, loving, and helpful country.We shall bring them in, get them on their feet, make them comfortable, and love them. #LOVEWINS !

6.I think they should allow the Syrian refugees in the country. I think they should help and care for the refugees until they are able to make a living for themselves
7.I think the picture is placed where it is so we can get the feeling of sympathy towards the refugees. It has the impact of how we really don't know wht it feels like to suffer like they did in Syrian countries.

6. Personally I don't think we need to be in this fight and I don't care if we take them in or not. This fight should stay in the other countries and we should assist but not get into it. The refugees need to be treated like any other citizen and the government should not treat them different than the citizens already here.
7. It is placed at the beginning of the article to show the emotions of the refugees. This picture is for us the get a Visual representation of what is really going on so we can pity them

ReplyDelete1. They have metal fences, tear gas, and a water cannon.
2. Many refugees have been forced to make a very dangerous and uncertain journey through the Mediterranean sea. They travel up through the water from Turkey to Greece and the through the Balkans. Many have died on the dangerous trip.
3.Around 3 million people have been displaced.
4.He believes that the negotiation is preventing the crisis from ending
5. He has pledged to take in 10,000.
6. I think we should help them until they have somewhere else to go. I feel it’s our duty as being a very privileged country to help others. I think the country should do their best to give them the basic needs of life.
7. It’s placed where it is to grab your attention and to give a visual perspective of a glance of these people's lives. This little boy is so young and already seen and been through so much that no one deserves. It really gives the article a more personal and touching feel.

7) Because it shows the little children on their way to another country. It probably makes people feel really sad. It also probably makes people want to let those kids in the U.S.

Being as far in debt as we are I feel we financially cannot take in these people and give them the proper care they need, and we would be placing a target on ourselves.
7. I believe that picture is to make Americans feel pity on them. It is sad but it's not our place to protect these people and put a target on ourselves.
