The Lost Boys

I ended up really enjoying class today. Instead of learning a new lesson or going over vocabulary words, we watched a documentary. The documentary was about a war going on between the North and the South. During the war, and watching the movie, we learned a term “the lost boys”. That term meant that during the war the younger boys, typically around my age, were forced to leave and they could not stay where they lived anymore. The boys were forced to leave and walked about 1,000 miles to Kenya. Once the lost boys started walking they did not realize they would end up in Kenya. They started with about 27,000 boys but once they all arrived in Kenya there was only about 12,000. All of the boys, once they arrived to the refugee camp, were all starving and they health conditions were very poor. Luckily a couple of the boys got to leave the camp and fly to American to start over a new life.
