the lost boys coming to America!


Today in human geography we continued the watch “God Grew Tired of Us”. We picked up at the part where Daniel, Panther, and John Bull where getting on their first plane ride to America, Daniel and Panther in Pittsburg and John Bull in New York. When Daniel, Panther and some others first get into the house in which they are to live in they are totally amazed at how the electricity works in the house, like the refrigerator and the lights, and also how taking a shower works. They were also amazed at some of the foods that we eat in our daily lives, when they went to the store to buy food they were totally shocked from seeing so many different foods that they haven’t tasted. John Bull talks about how awful it was when he was back in Sudan, and then when the boys were travelling, he said that 13 year olds should not have to bury their friends and others but he had to along with some of the other boys. He said that since everyone was dying and all this tragedy had struck, he figured that God had grown tired of them, because of all the war and death. When one of the other men was interviewed he said that even though this opportunity was very good he and the others were sad because they left the camp and are in a good place now, but the others are still in a bad place. Everyone said that they wanted to have this opportunity, to support themselves and have a good life here. The government is giving the boys three months to get jobs and eventually pay back the money that was paid for them to fly to their destinations.
