Connection
The book Left to Tell and the movie Hotel Rwanda were similar because in both there were fam-
ilies suffering and struggling to survive. In the text, Immaculee Ilibagiza and her family were try-
ing to survive and in the movie Paul Rusesabagina and his family. In the movie Rusesabagina
ends up crying a lot because he is afraid for his family Ilibagiza also mourns for her family and
the deaths that have occurred. In the end of the text Ilibagiza survives the genocide with the help
of the UN and the Tutsi rebel soldiers. Rusesabagina and his family also survive with the help of
the UN and Tutsi rebel soldiers.
