Today I read chapter 4 of Refugee, where Josef and his mother and sister get on the train to Cuba. And so we have already read about the children and their life.
And so we had to imagine we had to leave our country today and make or draw a suitcase with the things we need/want to bring with us the things I would bring along with me are:
My Dog Cassius: I would bring Cassius because he's loyal, protective and playful and he makes me happy and would help me get through hard times as a refugee and he likes running around, and doesn't mind travelling on foot.
My Cat Sid: I would bring Sid with me as he likes roaming around and after a while gets used to the wildlife and can hunt. Another reason I would bring him is because he likes to lie on my lap and sleep and also makes me happy.
Clothes: Are definitely some of the essential things I would bring as you never know what the weather will be like and so you need to bring a variety of clothes like jumpers and jackets and T-shirts and shorts.
Shoes: I would bring sturdy and strong shoes as a lot of the time you'll be travelling in foot like jumping and running and sometimes you'll need shoes because there are prickles, shattered glass and thorns on the track or wherever your travelling.
Water: You will definitely need water because you never know when you'll find water again and so always carry a lot of water especially if there's more than just you.
Phone Charger & Phone: I would carry my phone and phone charger just in case I'm in an emergency where I need to call the police or an ambulance or my family. And I would need my phone charger to recharge my phone.
Sketch Book: I would bring a sketch book because 1 of my passions is drawing and I like to draw in my free time or when I'm bored and so I would bring a sketch book to draw on.
LED Pencils: I would bring quite a few LED pencils because If I didn't what would I use to draw with and I don't really colour my drawings so I just need LED pencils.
Headphones: I would bring my headphones because I like listening to music and YouTube when I draw or just whenever so I would carry them with me so I can listen to music or YouTube without people also be able to hear the music I chose or YouTube too.
Cap: I would bring some-sort of hat that protects my head from the sun as in some places the weather can be really hot and humid. And I would need some-sort of protection from the sun in general.
Sunscreen: I would definitely bring sunscreen so I don't get sunburn and have more protection from the sun I would definitely bring it to very hot places like some places in Australia.
Wallet & Money: I would need money just in case I run out of essential needs like food (For me and my 2 pets), Hygiene Essentials (Toothbrush and Toothpaste.) and clothing. I would need money in that country's currency to buy those. And I would need a wallet to keep money in there without falling out.
Toiletry Bag: I would keep a toiletry bag so I can keep all the hygiene essentials like toothpaste, toothbrush and other stuff like that. I would keep them all in there because it is much easier than keeping them in your suitcase and is lasts much longer than a plastic bag.
Hi Arie, what an interesting read today! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through your blog post about what you would pack in your suitcase if you had to leave New Zealand. You have made some really good points about essential items that I hadn't considered. For example, I really like the idea of bringing a sketch pad, pencils and headphones with you. Leaving the country as a refugee would be a very stressful situation, and taking some items that bring you happiness and joy would be very important. What kind of things do you like to draw? Is there any particular music you like to listen to when you draw?
ReplyDeleteI also like the points you made about your decision to bring your pets. Not only do they make you happy, but they sound like they would be good companions who enjoy the outdoors, hunting, and walking. What better company to have while you travel! Would you bring any food or essentials for Cassius and Sid? What do they normally like to eat or drink? Do you have any responsibilities when it comes to taking care of your pets?
Hi Miss Fleet, I really like to draw cartoon and realistic animals and animatronics because I want to be a cartoonist. And I like to listen to mainly Post Malone and other stuff like that. I think I would fly but some food is not allowed onto the plane and if I used a boat some of the food would be bad so I would buy the food once I'm over there. My Dog normally just eats dog roll or meat and rice and my cat just eats the sachet food. And yes I do I feed them every night. Do you have any pets and would you bring them along? And is there anything you would bring that brings you joy or happiness?
