What's a Light Switch?


The start of today’s class was very interesting.  It started off with Ellie having a laugh attack.  Then we got out our notes from yesterday.  Mr. Schick asked us where we stopped in the movie.  Matt knew exactly where we stopped.  During the movie I learned that the United States arranged for some of the lost boys of Sudan to live in the United States for three months.  Two of the three boys went to live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  It was kind of funny seeing their reactions to things that we take for granted.  For example, they had never seen a toilet, a sink, or a light switch before.  It was pretty sad seeing how they had to live before they came to live in the United States.  They had no idea how anything in the United States works.  The best part was when the person showing them around said that they don’t throw trash out of the window.  They have to use the trash can.
