What is the significance of the book's title for Omar's journey?

• A. It signals that even when hope seems scattered, guidance and aspirations still illuminate a path forward
• B. It signals a new country is found
• C. It references a local festival
• D. It describes a character's hobby

Answer: (A)

Stars serve as a guiding light, a way to orient yourself when everything feels uncertain. The title uses that image to show that even when life is scattered—displacement, fear, and doubt in a refugee journey—there are still guiding lights: hopes, dreams, and the people who support him. For Omar, education, memory of home, and the belief in a better future act like stars he can follow, helping him keep moving and chart a path forward. That sense of guidance and ongoing aspiration is what the title conveys, capturing the resilience at the heart of his journey. The other ideas don’t fit because they don’t reflect this theme of direction and hope guiding him through chaos.
