"God Grew Tired of Us"

In the 9/27/12 edition of Mr. Schick’s Human Geography class, we were watching more of the documentary “God Grew Tired of Us.” However, it was a bit more exciting in today’s class. That is because at the beginning of class Mr. Schick was trying to use all of our unit two vocabulary words in sentences relating to “God Grew Tired of Us.” For example, one of these sentences was “We will scrutinize this more as we continue watching.” Also, where we are in the movie right now, some of the Sudanese were chosen to be resettled in America. However, moving to the United States did not get rid of all of their problems. This is because, even though their troubles aren’t as severe as they were in Kenya, they have other issues which come in the form of adapting to their new environment and learning an entirely different culture and for that matter a different lifestyle. For example, the chosen refugees to move to America did not even know what a shower was or most other things that we have as a developed nation (i.e. electricity, running water, or even a grocery store).
