Civil War Summary
This war starts all the way back in 1983 and has kicked out more than 4 million southerns leaving them nothing. The southerns migrated to Juba, Ethiopia, Kenya an Egypt. The war started because of the religious differences between Arabs and black Christians. It was so bad the Arabs would just kill the Christians for no reason just like Hitler! You were killed if you where 15 or older so they kids wouldn't have anyone to take care of them. Girls and Boys of ages 11-13 would take care of the little kids and would start a family. The war ended in 2005.
I can't do the last part because i was not here for the rest of the movie.

Lost Boy's of Sudan
Why did the lost buys have to run away from there homes?
They had to run away from their homes because of war in their village. If you weren't a certain religion you were killed. They got kicked out of their homes.
Why couldn't they stay in Ethiopia?
They couldn't stay in Ethiopia because living there was hard. They didn't have any water or food. Witch was much different then their life in Sadan were they lived on the Nile river. It supplied them with water to drink and made it easier to grow crops and raise cattle.
What was life like in Refugee camps?
Life in camps is very hard. They have little to no food have to drink out of mud and sometimes even their own urine. Many want to cry but no tears come out because they are so dehydrated. Also, many of them are injured but haave no medical help.

Family history
While both of my parents have lived in Maryland their whole lives, their parents and grandparents have come from all over. Starting with my dad’s side, My Gammy lived in Ohio. Her parents got divorced when she was six. Gammy lived with her dad till she was 14. Her and her sister decided they didn’t want to live with their dad anymore so they moved in with their mom in Maryland. My great grand mom Alice Harrison was born and raised in Ireland. She moved to America for freedom of religion. Alice was a Mormon but wasn’t allowed to practice that faith in Ireland. When she married Lloyd Cleary she changed to a Catholic. After Alice divorced Lloyd she moved to Maryland to be with her family. Just like Alice, Lloyd’s family grew up in Ireland. The only thing different is Lloyd’s family migrated to America before he was born. They migrated for job opportunities and a new life. Lloyd lived his whole life in Ohio. Next, my grandpa’s grandfather was born in Germany. At the time they migrated to America because of job opportunities. They decided they would be better off if they migrated to America. He made his living as a farmer. Today my family still celebrates German traditions. We have Christmas at my grandparents every year and have a German dinner.
On my mom’s side of the family my grandpa Doc doesn’t know much about his ancestors. The only thing he knows is, he was born in Maryland and he is Irish and German. My grandpa’s wife grandma Janet has also lived in Maryland her whole life. (Her and my grandfather have been together since the sixth grade)! Janet’s grandparents moved to America from Poland because they wanted to start their lives over in the United States.
Where i'll be 18 years from now
Eighteen years from now when I'm all grown up and living on my own I think it would be cool to live in either Italy or Australia. One reason I would like to live in Italy is because they have a an amazing soccer team. Soccer is my favorite sport, even if I wasn't able to play i would still enjoy watching a game in one of their huge soccer arenas. One pull factor for moving to Italy is they have an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It's not the best in the world, but it’s better than the USA's. Another reason I want to move to Italy is the beautiful and historical land marks like the leaning tower of Pizza, and the ruins of Rome. Every day you would have a beautiful place to see and visit. It is also close enough that you could visit other very interesting places like France and Germany. Even though Italy is an amazing and beautiful place there are some downsides of living there. For example a push factor would be Italy has a very high crime rate. Pick-pocketing, purse snatching and theft from parked cars is a serious problem in Italy. When people go to the ATM they have to cover the number pad when they type in there pin so no one will steal there pin number. I would want to feel safe where I live this this would be a big push factor.
Australia is always warm and has beautiful beaches. I love beaches and warm weather. I also really like Australian accents so they wouldn’t get annoying like if I lived in China and couldn’t understand anything. A pull factor to live in Australia would be the warm weather and gorgeous beaches. During Christmas you could still go out on the beach! It also has a very good unemployment rate of 5.9%! The economy is also 15 largest in the world which isn’t as great as the United States but is still very good. A push factor of moving there is they have some of the biggest sharks in the world. Even though they have beautiful beaches I would be afraid of getting attacked. Finally another push factor is they are run by a constitutional monarchy. I don’t like the fact that I do not have complete say on how my country is run.
