God Grew Tired of Us part 2

Today in class we continued to watch the movie God Grew Tired of Us that we started a couple of classes ago. We learned that many of the men traveling on this journey had thoughts of killing themselves. Also, in this part of the movie they were talking about how they were sad and how the would do mostly anything to just see their parents again. Then, during the middle the men are beginning to get flew to the United States. However these people are mostly older men and boys because when they come to America they are expected to get a job within three weeks to pay the United States government back for their air fare on the way over, and they also have to pay for the apartment the government paid for as well. When they get to the airport they were amazed to see escalators and id not understand how they worked. Daniel and Panther end up in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where they will be living in an apartment together. They can not believe the sight of electricity and grocery stores. When they are first introduced to a potato chip, they cant believe that after opening the bag they are ready to eat, and taste good. Also, when they turn on the lamp they cant believe that a light comes on. On the plane ride over, they are eating mayonnaise out of packets and butter and jelly out of containers.
