What does America represent to Omar and the other refugees as noted in the memoir, When Stars Are Scattered?

America represents the themes of God, fairness, and waiting. America is referenced in Chapter One as Omar explains how while people live in the refugee camp they “hope they’ll be sent to America or Canada or some other place to live” (13). Later when Omar and Hassan play with Jeri and Jeri tells Omar he will have to learn English to live in America. Jeri explains, “My dad’s friend's cousin just got sent to America, and he sends back money every month. Everyone there is super rich!”
