1. I think it would be very hard for the children to be separated from their family. Aswell from thier other siblings. For these kids I think it was very hard for them because they didn't know how to take care of themselves. When you think about it when we were as young as those kids in this picture we didn't really know how to do much on our own.

2. Once again the same type of scenario. These three young kids all under the age of 8, are all by themselves. They don't know where to go and where anything is and their minds are going a million different ways. I know when I used to get lost or loose my mom somewhere I would get really scared; just like these kids are.

3. A struggle for these people is having to leave their homes that they have know for a long time and all of their possecions in them. They don't know where they are going and they are all very scared for what is to come.

4. You can just take one look at this picture and look at these men and tell that they are or should I say "have been struggling". They all have that look on their face of being overly tired and not having enough food or water in their body which is also a struggle. The man in the middle and the man on the right look like they have it the worst by the way they are standing. The one has to have help standing up and the one on the right is using a cane and they both are still having a hard time.

5. These three kids are truly devastative. They lost their house and possibly their family memebers. This tragic picture was taken during WWII. The boy on the right is having a really hard time. He is crying like he lost something more important that just his house like maybe his parents. But this happened to many cities during WWII with all the bombings going on.

6. A struggle from today that is recent would have to be the Haiti earthquake. It was truly a tragidy to Haiti because they were already a country is such proverty then the earthquake hit and it made it 10 times worse. They already had so little then when this happened they really had nothing. So many deaths and loss of clothing and bad water and food. It was going to be such a hard struggle for them to start over and re-build everything this time.

7. I chose this picture beacuse it shows people who are getting burned. It was such a long struggle for them to stay alive and try to stay as healthy as possibly in the concentration camps with the limited food and water that they no longer could do. So when they got so bad they were just burned to death.

8. The men in this picture struggle every time they want to sleep. Because they don't know if it will be their last time ever waking up or their last time going to sleep. With the lack of food and water many people wouldn't wake up thats how hard it was on their body.

9. This family is having a very hard time to try to stay warm and not freeze to death outside. Many times when they would have to run in the snow/ cold they would stop and freeze to death because they were so weak and just to cold to go on. You can see that these kids are pretty young so they are having a harder time with it than others would.
