Today in Human Geo class, we continued viewing the
documentary "God Grew Tired of Us". Today in the documentary, we
followed Panther Brior, John Bul Dau, and Daniel Abul Pach to America. Daniel
and Panther go to Pittsburg PA and John went to Syracuse NY. These three men
were so far out of their culture. They didn't know things that we
consider common knowledge. For example, when they were on the plane
they ate the butter and jam by themselves because they didn't know any
better. They also didn't know what potato chips are or how to turn
the lights on and off.
The three guys were given about three months to
adjust to their new life in America. Once that time was up, they were expected
to get a job and start paying their own way. They are also supposed to start
paying the U.N back for their flight.
