The most important thing she wanted to achieve in Australia was to become fluent in English. She really wanted to study it because everyone in Australia speaks English and she wanted to be able to communicate with other people. She reasoned that if she could speak very well, she could talk with her neighbors and tell them about the Bible. Indeed, English became pivotal to her everyday life and interactions in Australia, which she considers as a markedly different experience from living in Burma or Thailand.","PeriodicalId":136593,"journal":{"name":"Fifty Years in the Karen Revolution in Burma","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125169170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She lived in a small and relatively isolated village called Et Et, where her family made their living as farmers. The chapter also reveals Naw Sheera's early exposure to Christianity. It goes on to detail Naw Sheera's life during the Japanese invasion, which interrupted her idyllic childhood and forced her to confront hardships alongside the rest of her village during the Japanese occupation. All throughout, Naw Sheera details her experiences with her grandmother in particular—an enterprising woman who unfortunately passed away during the occupation.","PeriodicalId":136593,"journal":{"name":"Fifty Years in the Karen Revolution in Burma","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129528842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Karen Revolution was still ongoing, and Naw Sheera had to be prepared to run as she had once tried to run from the Japanese. In addition to these difficulties, she also had to raise her children alone. Though Saw Ralph tried to be present in her life, it was clear that he was very much new to fatherhood and had considerable difficulty adjusting to having a wife and children to look after. Aside from Naw Sheera's home life, this chapter also depicts her flight from, and eventual capture, by the Burmese.","PeriodicalId":136593,"journal":{"name":"Fifty Years in the Karen Revolution in Burma","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126924117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
