 Movie Summary

      Today we watched more of the Lost Boys. We learned that it is very difficult for them to adapt to how it is in America. They still want to make sure to keep all of their tradition and their culture because it shows who they are. The boys don't forget about the people they left behind. The people in Kenya are constantly on their minds and some day they hope to help them. They realized that people here in America aren't the same as their people. They aren't aways as friendly. People in America don't just talk to random people like they the boys do in their country. Also, they have learned how to use American stuff. They had to get a social security number before they started to find jobs. They are very grateful for whatever money they make. Although, they don't like that you don't have time for family. They are beginning to get a little lonely without their other people.
