16. Work Cited
"World: Africa Sudan's deadly hunger." World: Africa Sudan's deadly hunger. BBC
News, 7 July 1998. Web. 25 Oct. 2010. <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/
128020.stm>. This source helped me figure out facts. Facts and
statistics that John, the author of the memoir, may not have been able to
give me. I used a lot of BBC News sites and I have found through my many
other sources that BBC News is credible within it self. I did do the CRAAP
test or what I could of it and found that I felt it was credible enough to
use. I think that BBC news helped me add statistics. and more than anything
helped me as a person and a writer to see the real horrors of how bad it is
in Africa. I feel that while my paper is to educate people it also helps
some people be aware of the issues with the "Lost boys".
"Sudan Timeline." Sudan Timeline. Crawford, 24 Apr. 2004. Web. 25 Oct. 2010.
<http://crawfurd.dk/africa/sudan_timeline.htm>. The key information
in this site was the correct date at which the war started. The memoir
talks more about when the war hit his town. For this website since I only
used it to find out the correct year at which the war hit Sudan I verified
with other websites that all said the war started in 1962. I felt that
because multiple websites said that the war ultimately started in 1962 that
this date was credible and thus this source was credible. I feel that this
added a more correct date then just when the war hit Johns town. I think
that while that is important its more important to know the date that the
war ultimately started.
"Religion in Sudan." Religion in Sudan. Wikipedia, Sept. 2010. Web. 25 Oct.
2010. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Sudan>. Wiki spaces
helped me a lot with the religion section of my paper. In this section I
found out a lot of percentages that I feel helped my paper be more clear.
when reading the memoir I thought that there were more native religions and
Christians then Islamic, this wiki site helped me to find out that this is
not true. I did not do a very through investigation on weather this site
was credible. Discussions in class made me believe that wiki pages were
being verified and by other people and if there was a flag then it was not
credible, because of this I looked for flags and when I did not see any I
used it as a credible source. This information helped me because I was
corrected in my thinking that there were more Christians and native
religions then Islamic people. I feel that this added contrast and correct
thinking to my paper as well as information that was unknown before hand.
Offer, Joanne. "Looking Beyond Somalia's Pirates And Into Kenya's Refugee
Camps." Looking Beyond Somalia's Pirates And Into Kenya's Refugee Camps.
Huffington Post, 2 May 2009. Web. 25 Oct. 2010.
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/01/
looking-beyond-somalias-p_n_179672.html>. In this source I was looking
for the UN's help in Kenyan refugee camps as well as the difference between
how John explained in the memoir how much the UN helped to just last year
how much the UN helped. I used the CRAAP test while evaluating this source
and I found that this is like a online news paper so to speak. It gets the
word about many different subjects out to the public. When John describes
the UN's help in the memoir I feel that it was to personal to convey how
much they really helped. Also he did not see the mass effect as the UN
does. This site helped me to see the mass effect as well as all the work
they are doing for the lost boys.
Lake, Anthony, dir. "The lost boys of the Sudan." unicef.org. UNICEF, n.d. Web.
22 Oct. 2010. <http://www.unicef.org/sowc96/closboys.htm>. The most
important information I got from this site was how far the "Lost
boys" had to walk as well as the conditions in which they were
walking. I used the CRAAP test and found this site to be credible. The
UNICEF is very credible many people look the them for information and help.
This really helped to put a lot more information about the "Lost
boys" walking in my paper. It helped me as a researcher to really
understand what the "Lost boys" went through.
"Focusing on the Future at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya." Focusing on the Future
at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. LWF, 7 June 2001. Web. 25 Oct. 2010.
<http://www.lutheranworld.org/News/LWI/EN/396.EN.html>. School is
becoming more and more important to the teenagers in Kenya refugee camps.
This was just a website so I used the CRAAP test as well as different
skills that I have learned from the online modules. I found that even
though it is Lutheran church based there was very little bias thoughts and
feelings. I needed more information about what school was like for the
"Lost Boys" as well as how they feel about school now compared to
how John and the "Lost Boys" felt. The school is way more
advanced and wanted then what John descried in the memoir.
"Darfur UNAMID issue harsh condemnation of Sudanese authorities." Darfur UNAMID
issue harsh condemnation of Sudanese authorities. Sudan Tribune, 27 Aug.
2008. Web. 25 Oct. 2010. <http://www.sudantribune.com/
spip.php?article28415>. This helped me to understand the harshness of
the Darfur through another sourse other than "God grew tired of
us". I evaluated the information by the CRAAP test. As well as just by
looking at the information that I already had and the knowlege I already
had and compared it to what the website was telling me and the information
on the website was correct. Understanding how harsh the Darfur really was
helps me understand a little bit more about what the "Lost Boys"
were going through. This also helped me to varify the information I already
had.
