The scene that stood out meaningful for me is when the boys were being shown around their new apartment. They were shown what a shower is, they were instructed not to throw things out of the window and how to turn the lights on and off. This scene is meaningful for me because it shows how the boys are welcomed into the new life with new society having new rules and new customs. It is meaningful to understand how the boys are coping up and doing their best to still get rooted to their native culture and provide help to their friends left at the refugee camp.

Once the lost boys arrived in the US, the main challenge they faced was learning a culture that was new to them and getting around in the US. This challenge was not easy for them t overcome because the new culture was different from their culture. It was not easy for them to learn and adapt to the new norms and rules of the new society. They needed more time for this adaptation and acculturation. To overcome this challenge, the lost boys should strategize in assimilation and acculturation. Improvising their English, avoiding to hold hands in public, doing traditional dances, songs, and traditional foods.

For the lost boys to have a smooth transition in the US, they were provided with an aid worker who was important in helping them learn the new things that they didn't know. Through this, they did not have the difficult time in their transition in the US. To better help the lost boys transition to life in the US, there could have been an orientation in form of education or seminars set up in the camps for the refugees relocating to the US. This could have given the lost boys a clearer picture with more information on where they are going and the new culture they expect to adapt to
