Unaccompanied Immigrant Children? Dan Coats believe that illegal children who immigrated unaccompanied should be deported due to the increasing numbers and how it promotes the dangerous journeys the children take to get to the United States.

Ibn Battuta, who was both a Muslim teacher and traveler, went on a journey across the Sahara Desert which was both dangerous and challenging. His ultimate goal was to spread the religion of Islam and the Muslim culture all throughout West Africa, and he succeeded in doing that.

someone with abundant importance whose actions involve perilous journeys and marvelous warrior skills in war or battle (Abram). In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus, the king of the great island of Ithaca, is called to fight alongside the Greeks in the Trojan War.
