The end of this book has been very interesting. Nadia and Sadiq have listened to the words about the "doors" and started to talk about actually going through them. They decided to talk to the man who was telling everyone about these "doors". It turns out they are actually gateways to emigrate from their country. After much consideration and many conversations, Nadia and Sadiq decide to go through with it. They chose to leave. The first place they end up is a Greek Island. On this Greek Island with them is many more refugees from other countries around the world. They like it so much more than their home country, but decide to continue going through these "doors". They end up going to Europe and then America, which explains the title of the book, Exit West.
Here is a short summary of a story I might write based off of this book: If I were to write a spin-off based off of this book it would be about a family who is going through this experience together. They would be living in the same war-torn country and they have to go through the struggles of having to send the children to school safely everyday and go through the process of emigrating to America together. My story would be less based on their life in the war-torn country and more in their experience of moving to America in this present day. They would have to face the effects of the new president making racism more widely accepted and they would face the same everyday issues that any other refugee would have to face. My story would explain more of the immigrant experience in America, such as facing racism and prejudices. The story would explain how the kids are treated in school and how the parents are trying their hardest to make a better life for their family. While the author of Exit West chose to focus on the war-torn country, I think it would be interesting to show how just because you made it out of the war-torn country, doesn't mean you have no problems anymore. I would highlight the new and scary struggles of immigrating to America with your family. I will comment on Danny and Gracie's blogs.
