IRB Intro Post #2: They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky

      This book, written by Benson Deng, Alephonsion Deng, Benjamin Ajak, and Judy A. Bernstein, is about three Lost Boys from Sudan. It is based around three young boys, among thousands who in the midst of the Sudan Civil war, fled into the darkness. The book is a memoir of their journeys traveling the vast land of Sudan, keeping track of each other, and the refugee camps they went into. It recounts everything they experienced throughout their journey.
      I chose this book because Ms. Pronko suggested it and it looks very interesting to hear the first person stories of being on the run in an African country. I hope this book will be interesting and include a lot of suspense. I feel that the culture and courage within the story will keep me reading and interested.
