In class today we watched the movie “God Grew Tired of Us”.
In the documentary the “Boys” were taken to the United States so they could
start a new life. Sadly only a few of the boys were allowed to relocate because
of several issues. The relocated to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. When they moved
into the apartment everything was so shocking. They were not used to using
electricity so when they saw “refrigerators” any ad “lamps” it seemed very amazing.
Also they were eating all their food with their hands. Even rice and spaghetti.
I find this weird because in Nigeria, there are certain foods that you eat with
your hands like “Farina” but you don’t eat everything with your hands like
these Sudanese guys do. Anyway after the apartment they went to the grocery store.
There were all out of American foods there that they were not accustomed to.
But , the grocery clerk explained to them everything and anything about the
foods.That was all we all we watched.
