Red Underwear

red underwear

Red Underwear: The red underwear could represent many things such as: Wealth, Health, Attention, and Time. The first thing, wealth, is being represented because they didn’t have very many nice things. But as the trip progressed they became torn and filthy with lice and gnats. So they came to represent a poor person rather than a wealthy persons’ clothing. The second thing the red underwear represent is health. Because as the underwear became wore out and torn so did one of the lost boys of  Sudan,  Benson. As well as the many other lost boys were, becoming more and more torn apart and worn out. (some underwear are elastic, however it will come to a certain point at which the underwear will snap. Just like the lost boys of Sudan are at the point of.) The red underwear also represent attention or status amongst the other lost boys. Since most of the boys, if not all of them, could not afford to buy extravagant colors like the color red it distinguished Benson from the rest. Which eventually died down as they become torn and covered with lice and gnats. The final thing that the red underwear represent is time. Because nothing is really made to last a lifetime/forever, especially underwear. As such, its the memories that are made from the item that transcends down lifetimes, generations, and eventually forever.

Kuany’s role assisting the children

If it wasn’t for kuany i don’t think that Benson would have made it as far as he did. At first he was untrusted by Benson but as they traveled he came to respect Kuany and trust him more. Kuany is what seems to keep the lost  boys going, he sacrificed so much and didn’t ask for anything in return. Like: asking the commander of the rebels to help Benson when nobody else would. As well as securing a ride for the boys on the water tanker. Those acts of selflessness tells me that Kuany is attached to these boys beyond the blood relation to them.

Covenant of friendship: Animals and People

When it comes to wild animals lions are one that you should never mess with. However, the Dinka people in  Southern Sudan have a covenant with them. The pact between the two started many years ago. When the great-grandfather of Benson Deng saved the life of a sick lion from a pack of hyenas, which was an unfair fight. Then he fed the lion a goat to make the lion big and strong again. Then the lion returned the favor when there was a horrible drought, it brought Benson’s’ great-grandfather an antelope. That one single event inspired a partnership that has transcended throughout the years. However, one lion dared to break that sacred trust when it began to kill all of Benson’s fathers’ goats.Before any action was taken to deal with the situation, the elders of the tribe warned him to not harm the lion because it would violate the pact that was made many years ago. His father did not heed the warning of the elders and confronted the lion in a heated battle, which left him wounded with scars all over his chest.
