After reviewing the text, we examined conditions in the refugee camps of Kenya and role of US relief societies in facilitating Salva Dut's immigration to America. As Salva awaits a decision on his immigration status, we discussed the meaning of his comment that he is "torn in two by the hoping and not hoping." Atticus further elaborated on why the Sudanese refugees are referred to as "the Lost Boys". Last, Atticus worked on answering study guide questions. I provided comments to address sentence fragments and to offer suggestions on combining sentences.
