Part 1 - Critical Reflection

The poems truly define the feelings and the sentiments the refugee has for their country. The importance and the value of the homeland is only understood by the people who are forced to leave their homeland or leaves the homeland by their own will to save their lives in the time of crisis or natural disasters (Mollica, 1987, p.129). The people living in their homeland provides them different rights and safeguards their interests and when the people are given protection by other countries due to any mishap they only gives their land for shorter period of time to save their lives. Such people are termed as refugees, these countries do not provide any sort of facilities that they provide to their citizens.

In such circumstances the refugees badly miss their nation and their home land and the memories associated with their homeland keeps on disturbing them. Then they come to realize that how important and worthy each and every moment was which they spent in their country.

This shows that how refugees are effected by each and every characteristic of their nation. They associate their name with their real country and hope that they will soon return there and enjoy the same rights and beauty of their country.

Same was the care here; the poet not only associated his name with his country but the name of all people living there that he really loved a lot. The love of poet was so deep that he was not willing to leave his country even in the times of crisis, he drunk muddy water and lived in depressed dangerous caves that shows the attachment of the people with their country. The life of refugees is almost ruined after leaving their country and the only will for them is to return to their country and live prosperous life over there apart from living a life of neglected people in the country of others (Arendt, 1943, p.71).
