5. How does the following quote contribute to the reader's
understanding of Amira? "My most treasured things are
my necklaces. I wear them all at the same time, because
they have many memories. One was given to me by a
boyfriend, but I don't want my mother to know about
that!" (Paragraph 8)

The quote shows how Amira treasures her memories more than anything else and like any teenager, she feels happy yet secretive about her relationships. This shows that she is a typical teenage girl who has a different life from other teenagers.

Explanation:

The "Diary of A Teenage Refugee" by Amira narrates the story of the narrator while living as a refugee in one of the camps in Lebanon. Having escaped from war-torn Syria, Amira and her family decided to leave their home and country with the help of a smuggler and ended up in the refugee camp in Lebanon.

The given excerpt from the narrative presents an insight into the character of Amira, our narrator. She mentioned that once they were at the camp, their neighbors helped them acquire stuff like "bottled water, mattresses, blankets, cups and plates" but which have no specific meaningful value to them. For her, her most treasured possessions are her "necklaces" for they "have many memories". This shows that she treasured her personal things and memories and felt contented enough with what she had. This shows that she doesn't care much about things and treasures her memories more.
