Answer 2

In the fictional short story "The Wretched and the Beautiful" by E. Lily Yu, the Aliens represent refugees.

• In "The Wretched and the Beautiful," two groups of aliens land on a beach where people are spending their day.

• The first group to land is asking for help, for refuge. However, they are received with violence.

• The second group claims that the first one consists of criminals. They are thoroughly believed and admired by the people at the beach.

• The problem is: There is no way to know which group is telling the truth. So why do people believe the second group and not the first? Because of their appearance.

• The aliens in the second group are exquisitely beautiful. The first ones have an atrocious appearance - and that is enough for humans to dislike them, to perceive them as dangerous.

• The story serves as an extended metaphor for refugees and how cruelly they are mistreated.

• People are quick to perceive refugees as dangerous because they look and sound different. Preconceptions and prejudices keep us from seeing and treating them as humans.
