The Story of the Lost Boys

     Many of the lost boys died traveling from place to place trying to survive the elements. They were kicked out of their town and forced to flee because soon the government planned to kill them. While on the run some boys would lose the will to walk or go on. This is a sad sight when kids are forced to run for their lives. The most interesting part of the story, in my opinion is when the lost boys had to cross the river. Some kids didn't know how to swim so the ones that did could only help 1 person cross. There was a mention that crocodiles infested the lake and were ready to kill if you looked them in the eyes.
     Those lost boys that were rescued and brought to the US as refugees are living a better life now. Some of them looked for further education to prosper in life. In the video, some of them have learned pretty good English. This whole story reminded me of my mom's stories of her running from the Khmer Rouge when she was younger. Where she and our family would be on the run trying to survive. Some people were put into Concentration Camps and forced to do whatever Pol Pot told them to do. But my family found a way to make it to the UN and then were sent to America as refugees.
