10. Answer the following question only after you conclude the viewing of the film: The title of the film, "God Grew Tired of Us", seems to be somewhat ironic after hearing the account of the boys first hand. Explain why the title is ironic using specific examples from the film. Do the boys really believe that God had abandoned them? Or is their faith stronger than ever? Why? Give examples.

They title is ironic because they were in a good place when all of a sudden the is a was and they have to walk a long way to safety. Many people die, but then when they think it is safe, the are forced to leave again! And even more people die till they find a nice refugee place. Some of the boys might have really think that God has abandoned them, they think that God just wants to start all over again. But when they found the camp faith was restored. They were doing well, but they still missed their homeland. And even then America was going to let the "Lost Boys" to come and live in the USA. Some examples is when Panther, Daniel, and John Bull came to the US and started new lives and became successful.
