The Lost Boys Of Sudan: Peter Nyarol Dut

Peter was living in the refugee camp for about 10 years. One day Peter found his name on the list that was going to America. At first he didn't know if he should go or not. But at the end Peter decided to go to America to start out a new and better life. But when he arrived and settled in America he had many difficulties to face. Some of the difficulties that Peter faced in America was getting into school, making friends, finding a job, buying a car, earning money, learning how to fit in, moving into/finding a new house, adapting into the culture, paying the rent, buying food and sending money back to their families. Also they had to adapt to the different foods they ate, the clothes they wore, keeping their culture and also trying to fit into a group of people.

When Peter arrived in America he was shocked by many of the new things that he discovered in America. Most of the things he discovered were new fir him and it was a shock for him and he didn't know how to use most of the new things he had discovered. Some of the new things that Peter needed to adapt to in America was the use of clean water, electricity, how a car works, going to a large school, using pots, stoves and heat to cook stuff. But after staying in America Peter became a successful person went to college and got used to how the different things work in America.
