God grew tired of us

Last week we watched the movie "God grew tired of us". It was movie about African refugees who lived in Sudan since they were very young and were known as the lost boys. A group of those refugees were given a chance to go live in America to start a new life and make money. Once they arrived in America, they were very shocked at the things around them. The food was very different to what they were used to. They had to learn to go grocery shopping and learn about all times of food that they could eat. They had to learn how to turn on light switches, use TV's, stoves, microwaves etc. Once they finally settled down and started getting more comfortable with their surroundings, they had to go find jobs so that that would be able to support themselves. Once they started working, the jobs that they had found were not the greatest and so the times that were given to them to relax or hang out with their roommates was very limited and that had made many of the lost boys lonely and homesick. Many of the lost boys said that they liked living back in Sudan because it always felt like they had family around them, while being in America you were always by yourself and depended on yourself. As the yeas went on, the lost boys that were in America became accustomed to everything and found jobs to support themselves and most of their families back in Sudan. My parents can sort of relate to this when they came to America and had to get accustomed to the food and places around here because it was so different.
