Iman introduces the concept of "Brain Drain" and that the government should have checked the Egyptian's qualifications as this affects the economy. If Egypt's best workers are the ones who immigrate then this arises a huge issue for Egypt's economy

After the revolution, It was not only the citizens' choice to emigrate, but also the government's as it encouraged them to do so due to a lack of satisfying them.

12:00, Abdelrahman ends up approving Ahmed's decision as the revolution of 2011 resulted in political and social instability.

8:50, Abdelrahman disagrees with Ahmed's choice of moving and believes that Egypt has made them who they are now and that they need to owe it back by applying what Egypt taught them to improve their home country.

7:40, Abdelrahman says that job opportunities is not the only aspect to think about when discussing emigration. He introduces an advantage of living in Egypt where services are available 24/7 and says that he is "a big group of habits". This means if he moves to a different country these habits might not suit the new country's habits and he wouldn't feel comfortable. Some people habits are more important to them than job opportunities and vice versa.

1:52, her family's response to Heba shows how they faced difficulty living in Egypt, and that there was no other option than to move elsewhere.

The "Point of no return" section shows how the brain drain issue can occur in 2 different ways where either a person leaves his country with the purpose of not returning at all or leaves hoping to return someday to benefit their home country.

Azmy seems like he is really attached to his nationality that he wouldn't trade it for another no matter its circumstances, unlike Hazzer. But, this could also be because he is already half American so he doesn't feel the need to get rid of his Egyptian citizenship.

This is why the author used examples of 2 people living in the same area in Egypt in order to avoid raising to the readers the idea that maybe Azmy doesn't feel shame because what he encounters daily is not the same as what Hazzar encounters due to their different communities.

Both examples are of people from Maadi. Is there some kind of a reason for that?

The author gives another example of a person who immigrated from Egypt due to its "strange" political situation and lack of freedom. He wants to leave Egypt's norms and wants to go somewhere where he could not be pressurized by anyone. "The American dream" section adds onto Egypt's push factors.

this shows that the reasons for his emigration arose after the revolution of 2011 and that at the start of it he was proud of being an Egyptian.

Harraz sees many push factors in Egypt that not only lead him away, but also has a huge effect on him emotionally as these push factors are from his own home country in which he lived his whole life.

This shows that Harraz is facing difficulty living in Egypt as he is not satisfied with the actions of the majority of the population

I think if they continue with the mind set that "diversity is our strength" then soon Canada's culture will be non existent due to the variety of cultures in Canada that not only take from Canadas' but also refuse to learn about it and fit in.

She also combines pathos and ethos when mentioning that she cannot shop in certain places because she can't speak other languages than her own nations' and says "people would talk behind my back in a different language while pointing at me." Also ending up appealing to emotions as people will feel bad for what she has to deal with daily.

Throughout the whole video, she uses examples to support her argument. She starts off with providing statistics from a poll that concuded that 68% of Canadians are not satisfied with minorities as they are not trying to fit into their culture. She also provides personal experience from her father who couldn't communicate with anyone at the coffee shop because they refused to speak Canada's languages. She states that he found it so sad because he likes interacting with people. This ends up appealing to the audience's emotions as well because they might feel bad for her father.

She argues that multiculturalism in Canada has caused discrimination against Canadians from people with different cultural beliefs as they do not match their own and many citizens are tired of this.

People tend to hold onto to their cultural traits which is why multiculturalism doesn't work, according to Lauren Southern.

The fact that Ali did not fight back shows full growth and maturity. He knows he's right and that his father is a mess no matter what Parvez does to try and change Ali's mindset

Page 10, paragraph 2, Parvez works at night and sleeps all day which makes it hard to believe that Ali is satisfied with what his father has given him as they barely communicate with each other.

Page 9 paragraph 10, the father is being selfish as he wants to kick out his son because he can't stand him criticizing him even tho he knows what Ali is saying is correct. Instead of thinking about what his son has said and taking it in, he decides to take the easy way out and get rid of his son.

Page 7 paragraph 5, the father has worked hard on changing his habits after moving to England in order to fit in. Moving seems like it affected him negatively as he immediately altered his identity according to his location where everything he does is against his past traditions. (according to what Ali is saying)

Page 5 paragraph 6, this is how i think the father should have started out, by talking to his son and getting to know more about whats happening in his life.

Page 4 Paragraph 3, Did the father try talking to his son and listening to his response before looking everywhere in his room? I think talking and building a trustworthy relationship with your child is always the better way to start.

Parvez's friends assumed the only explanation for Ali's actions, such as selling his possessions is that he's taking drugs. Parvez did not oppose them and continued listening to his friend's advice on how to cope with this situation.

Page 2 paragraph 3, the father realizes that due to his switched schedule, he lacks involvement in his son's life, which may be the cause of his recent actions. Also, he doesn't want his friends to blame him like he blames them.

Page 1 Paragraph 2, Ali's girlfriend and friends not coming over anymore added on to the father's confusion.

Page 1 paragraph1, the father is confused as to why his son's room is neat and tidy when it has never been like that before. What led to this change?

4:35, The author decides whether to use pathos, Logos, or Ethos arguments (or all) in order to persuade the audience and the rhetorical analysis states these choices a long with their effectiveness. Did the author succeed in delivering the message to their audience or not? and how?

3:39, this first step is basically trying to get inside the writer's/speaker's head to fully grasp their frame of mind and approach, which will allow you to analyze their text correctly and without any misinterpretations.

This relates to Maalouf's situation as both Maalouf and Lyer have complex identities that resulted into them being marginalised

I think that the fact that he still rememberers this, shows that he probably experienced bad treatment and discrimination from kids in his class due to his Indian appearance that they're not used to.

I think this affected his childhood and how other kids in his classes treated him as his appearance is different than those of english people.

Page 22. I agree with Maalouf's opinion on the fact that not all people from the same country, race, or religion have everything in common. Just because one person from a specific minority committed a crime, for example, doesn't mean everyone in the same minority is also guilty. Every single person should be judged solely without any categorization.

In page 21, the author emphasizes on the fact that every person's identity is different form another no matter how many similarities they share. Even if two people are from the same country, have the same religion, and share same beliefs, theres always something that makes them different from one another.

The 2nd paragraph in page 19 demonstrates the large number of ethnicities that Maalouf is surrounded by in his family, including different religions, cultures, traditions, and languages that have all shaped his identity. This makes him a trusted writer when it comes to this context as he has experienced it all.

Paragraph 7 demonstrates how a diversity in one's identity, results into fewer ties, thus fewer relationships.

In the 4th paragraph, the author states that because he is an Arab christian, he is able to connect with Arabs, muslims, and christians all over the world, however not fully. For example, there can be an Arab who is not muslim, a muslim who is not Arab, and a christian who is not Arab. This means that with each person, he is able to build a relationship he cannot build with the other due to religious and cultural differences.

It took the mother her daughter's death to finally realize that this parenting style is strictly unacceptable

the author used Logos (logical argument)

I feel like this is the main reason why Chinese parents feel motivated to treat their children harshly

All of this is because Lulu didn't want to play the piano?

Pathos

Pathos as well. Tone of paragraph is sympathetic

Some Egyptian parents can be like this, for example, they might force their children to enter a major that they don't like just because they believe it's the better choice. but, what about the children's preferences. Why are they disregarded? children tend to become more encouraged to work if they're studying what they love

That's so sad. (Pathos)

Successful parenting doesn't only depend on academic achievement. Manners for example is also very important, as well as, encouraging children to follow their dreams.

Seems like the kids are forced to follow their parent's dreams and not their own. I do not think this is the right way to raise children. Yes there must be limits, but not to a child's passions.

The fact that they have lost relatives did not affect their choice of traveling at all and this shows how awful it is to be living in the village that they are willing to do anything in order to leave.

Aside from all risks, some villagers benefitted a lot from emigrating and were able to return to their families and provide them with the accommodation needed. Cases like Salama's encourages others to do the same.

Main reason why they choose to leave their village, although they know they might not survive, or might not see their families again.

This shows how life is hard in this village, as many parents sent their children away from it in hope for a better life.

What about the other survivors? this statement has a high chance of being inaccurate as only 2 out of 11 survivors said that.
