How does war affect individuals and societies?' 

Pages Read: 0-120

   My article and book mostly connect through individuals. In my article "A Frontline Solution to Europe's Refugee Crisis" by Sohrab Ahmari said  "...and maybe 10 out of every 100 would die." Then in the book it said "Can three young children and their mother the scorching wilderness? Can I survive?" Both of those quotes talk about survival. In my article that quote was talking about how some immigrants wouldn't survive when they tried going over to Europe, and only 10 out of every 100 would die somehow. In the book, the quote was talking about how Haileab, Mawi's father, was doubting if he would even survive the trip to Sudan. Haileab was doubting if he could actually make it or if he would die along the way. These two relate because they both talk about surviving.

 Another way my article and my blog connect is through Ideas. In my article it said "As Vali Khougani, a 50-something Afgan, tells me, the refugees would still come if the Balkan corridor were closed." Nothing would stop the refugees from coming. In the book it said, "You need to get used to working hard." These two quotes have something in common... They both talk about never giving up. The quote from the article shows that no matter what the refugees would still go. The quote from the book shows that you have to work hard and never give up. 

War affects individuals a lot. For example it affects the life of many individuals because they can't live their normal life anymore. They can't even walk down the street without being worried. They can live in constant fear because maybe if they leave their house they can get shot and no one will know. War affects society a lot too. For example if a country is having a war it would affect all the people who live there. It would affect all the states there because they could bomb a place in their state at any time and no one can be safe.
