  • "In our culture, women are being dominated. Not just in Sudan, but in all of Africa. Maybe people don't think we did much, because they see us as followers of the 'Lost Boys'." "But the fact remains ladies were there."
  • Few have thought to inquire about the fate of the "Lost Girls". Although an estimated 3,000 arrived in Kakuma in 1992, most have simply vanished from official records
  • "We have lost them... they are completely lost", Mr Mable says regretfully, "They have lost that status of lost girls. Some of them are mothers. They are married...There's nothing I can do - or anyone else can do" But it is clear that some of the 'Lost Girls' continue to suffer greatly.

Kevin Carter: The Consequences of Photojournalism - Photography - Fanpop - 0 views

  • In 1994, South African photojournalist Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer prize for his disturbing photograph of a Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture (left). That same year, Kevin Carter committed suicide.
  • Carter took twenty minutes to take the photo, wanting the best shot possible, before chasing the bird away.
  • The photo was published in The New York Times in March of 1993, and sparked a wide reaction. People wanted to know what happened the child, and if Carter had assisted her. The Times issued a statement saying that the girl was able to make it to the food station, but beyond that no one knows what happened to her.

  • Because of this, Carter was bombarded with questions about why he did not help the girl, and only used her to take a photograph. The St. Petersburg Times in Florida said this of Carter: "The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering, might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene.
  • Carter spoke of his thoughts when he took these photographs: "I had to think visually. I am zooming in on a tight shot of the dead guy and a splash of red. Going into his khaki uniform in a pool of blood in the sand. The dead man's face is slightly gray. You are making a visual here. But inside something is screaming, 'My God.' But it is time to work. Deal with the rest later. If you can't do it, get out of the game."
  • However, Carter was working in a time when photojournalists were told not to touch famine victims for fear of spreading disease. Carter estimated that there were twenty people per hour dying at the food center.
  • Carter's daughter Megan responded to such comparisons with, "I see my dad as the suffering child. And the rest of the world is the vulture."
  • on July 27, 1994, Carter backed his red Nissan truck against a blue gum tree, attached a garden hose to the exhaust pipe, and rolled up the window to his car. He turned on his walkman and rested his head against his backpack until he died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

    Whoever is interested in the Civil War, the Lost Boys' Journey, how they survived and what they have become today...YOU SHOULD READ THIS !!! It includes facts such as how many were killed in the conflict in Sudan, exactly what happened in the villages and how the Lost Boys were created. Also it briefly gives examples on the types of diseases and dangers they faced during the walk, and where they were headed and how long it took them to reach safety.

  • Some of the girls are beaten, raped, or sold off to older men who pay a bridal fee of between five and 50 cows to the foster family.
  • So why are the girls facing hardship in Kakuma while the boys are living out the American dream?

    According to Sudanese culture, the girls could not be left alone and instead were placed with surviving family members or with other surviving families/adults. Also, when the US resettlement program was created in 1999, by that time, most of the girls had been living in the family units assigned them for 9-14 years and were no longer considered to be orphans. Therefore, they were not allowed for resettlement. However, many of the Lost Girls that did come to the US have now earned their college degrees and/or married. Some have returned to South Sudan and are working in the government of South Sudan and assisting in rebuilding their country. The lost girls are known to be having their normal lives.

  • Three years ago, the United States government agreed to allow 3,600 of them to begin new lives in America.
  • I don't worry now that if I sleep that people are going to shoot me," says 19-year-old Abraham Maker, who arrived in the US in 2001 along with thousands of others.

      This is the kind of life they lived before moving to America. But is this a bit exaggerated to gain the sympathy of others, precisely sponsors and americans? Or is this just the bare truth?
  • Abraham has been luckier than other lost boys, many of whom have had difficulty adjusting to life in America.

      Others may be luckier than others. Nothing will be completely fair. If he is adopted to an American family and is happy now, what happens to the social relationships that he had with his fellow Lost Boys before? Has he forgotten about his old life now?

  • The unlucky ones, those judged to be above 18, were too old for high school and so had to go to work. As they had no qualifications they were forced to take menial, low-paying jobs.

      This is not what they expected after over 10 years of being lost. After Ethiopia and Kakuma, the lost boys probably built up their expectations of America so high that they were shocked of what was waiting for them. 
  • "America wasn't paradise and it wasn't as easy as they told you in the camps," says Samuel, who has done the rounds of menial jobs: he's been a security guard and is now a bagger, someone who puts shoppers' groceries in their bags at supermarkets.

  • VAD: It is very close to the truth, but many things in the book are somewhat different than what happened in life. Some characters have been combined. Some time is compressed. They are minor things, but they were necessary. For one thing, I was very young when the book begins, so I could not remember conversations and small details from my early childhood in Marial Bai. It was necessary to reconstruct the chronology, and that is what Dave did. He took the basic facts and then created the story from there.

      He states that he didn't make What is the What a biography because he couldn't remember all the tiny details on the way. Because some of the characters were combined and the time was compressed. Could this give him a 'slack' or possibly an excuse to exaggerate a bit in some parts of the story?
