Long Answer

1. Mr. Roger’s statement is a reminder to refugees and readers to look for hope in seemingly hopeless situations. This statement is addressed in various ways in the novel. For example, Annis distinguishes between hunters and helpers by defining helpers as those who care for others by volunteering to help refugees. Alexia directly quotes Mr. Rogers when Tareq feels discouraged by the hatred he believes others feel toward Syrian refugees. (Various chapters)
