How is the concept of 'home' redefined in the memoir?

• A. A place with borders
• B. A country of origin
• C. Home becomes people, routines, and belonging found within the camp and community
• D. Home is a distant memory

Answer: (C)

Home in this memoir isn’t defined by a border or by Somalia as a birthplace. It grows from the people around you and the routines you share inside the camp. The daily life—school with dedicated teachers, meals that bring neighbors together, friends who stand by you, prayers, chores, and small rituals—creates a sense of safety, care, and belonging. Through these ongoing connections and activities, the camp becomes a steady, comforting place to call home, even though the homeland you long for is far away. That focus on relationships, routines, and community is what makes this redefinition of home the best fit.
