Explain why Farah says she "dropped through a trapdoor into some other reality" when she was on the Gondola ride at the carnival in Chicago. Explore the specific triggers and sensations that caused her to have this vivid flashback to a traumatic event in her past and how it made her feel like she had momentarily left the present and returned to a moment ten years ago. Discuss the emotional impact of this experience on Farah and how it relates to her life as a refugee and amputee in her new home in America. Use text evidence to support your answer.
