The Lost Boys

    Last Friday, we watched a video called The Lost Boys that was about a bunch of black kids got kicked out of their homes becuase if they didn't leave, they would be killed by their own government. It was sad that all these kids were being killed and they were no older than us. A lot of them were killed during their trip to saftety. They had to leave their village and travel many miles to get to get to a UN camp that would keep them safe. It was sad to hear some of the survivors of this to tell their stories and what they seen.

  One of the survivors seen other lost boys die by mortars and gun shots. He has seen a lot of things in his lifetime that most people will never see. He was too young and he shouldn't have had to see that. Even after they got to the UN Camp, it still wasn't safe because 2 years after they got there, they had to leave again because that camp was closing. So the Lost Boys were in trouble again and had to flee out of the country to get freedom. They even had to cross a river filled with Crocodiles and that was really dangerous.

  In the end, a lot of the Lost Boys died but a lot survived too. There are a few survivors that live in the United States now and have continued their learning. These guys are really great because even after all they've been through, they still want to continue their learning. That is really great that these people are taking advantage of our learning system and they are learning the most they can.
