Every day 84 000 people die of hunger. Every day 42 500 people are displaced because of war or conflicts. Every day 29 000 children under the age five-year-old die.
And your biggest problem is that your seven-dollar Starbucks latte came with one espresso shot instead of two. We always take for granted the life we have.
We complain about how life is so unfair to us. We never stop and think about the people who have nothing.
The people who have to do everything that stands in their power to bring food to the table. We take it all for granted until we meet someone who shows us how lucky we really are.
An experience like this Max gets, the day he decides not to go to school in the short story by Debi Alper: How lucky you are.

Uddrag
The story takes place in England, Corydon. Throughout the story, Max is more specifically located at the UK Border Agency, where he meets the girl Ishraqi.
The environment in the short story is described very cold and lifeless, both at the UK Border Agency and on the small trip Max takes Ishragi on: "It's so… grey. No trees and not even much sky with all these buildings" (line 117 page 5.).
The cold and lifeless settings give a certain atmosphere to the story. Through the story, the reader gets the feeling that it is going well for Max, but the settings make the reader wonder if it all is as perfect as it seems, which we, in the end, get confirmed that it isn't, when Ishraqi is deported back to Iran
