The Movie Continues

We are still watching the film "God Grew Tired of Us" in class. The movie began with a very depressing beginning, but as the movie progressed, the lost boys that were sent to America and found hope. The lost boys, Daniel, Panther, and John, are very unselfish and giving people. These boys work hard just so they can  send money and support the boys in the refugee camp in Kenya. They work for others, not for themselves. When Daniel, John, and Panther were all experiencing Christmas in New York and in Pennsylvania, they seemed over whelmed by all the lights and different ways of celebrating Christmas. I thought that the way Christmas was celebrated in the refugee camp in Kenya was very fun and interesting. I feel like we don't celebrate the true meaning of Christmas in America. In Kenya's refugee camp they celebrate the true, real meaning of Christmas, which is birth of Jesus Christ. I was so happy when one of the lost boys got a letter form his parents saying that they are alive and that his brothers and sisters are alive as well. It was depressing watching him read the letter when the letter stated that some of his aunts, uncles, and cousins were killed.
