          Mawi is a very strong and determined person who never gave up and continued to strive on. Mawi would never stop trying to be successful because his family made a lot of sacrifices for him and the least he can do is make something out of that. Now onto another brave soul. Adil Mustafa Hamdan he is very similar to Mawi. For instance they both grew up as refugees and have the lived the entire srtruggle. They both had a struggle between their fathers because adils father had died on a journey and he never saw him again. Mawi had lost his dad too but his dad walked out on him. The thing is that Mawis dad did it for him and the family. For these two men they both chose family over anything and then water after which I respect al lot from both of them.

           Mawi and Adil have gone very similar rough events and have had similar ideas. For example, Mawis and adil both wanted to find out a way to be peaceful with everyone . Not to e discriminated by them or not cared for. It must really hurt to be not wanted because of the way you look. I mean they never asked to look they way they do, be judged the way they are or live they way they live. This was brought onto them when they were little they didn't get chose their faith they created it for themselves and now look at Mawi he went to Harvard and well-known around the world. For adil on the other hand didn't get to fulfill coming to America to live the "American Dream" but he was able to keep his life like Mawi which were both gifts to them and these are huge event sin their lives.

             War effects individuals and societies in different ways but the main way is negatively. When people go to war they are happy for fighting for whats right. What if they aren't fighting for what's right they are just doing a mindless war because of hatrid and because they can. They don't even care to notice all the innocent people having to leave where they are from, their home country just because people actions it is so messed up. It really messes up the society and anyone who is in the area when the war is happening. It is just so unfair I believe that there are many other ways to settle things and violence and ignorance isn't one of them. Which leads me to say war effects everyone and anything in its own specific ways.
