                                        Works Cited  "A Decision for Sudan’s South Has Nationwide Implications." United States      Holocaust Memorial Museum. N.p., 27 Sept. 2010. Web. 30 Oct. 2010.      <http://blogs.ushmm.org/COC2/757/>. The holocaust museum is an      organization originally started to honor those killed in Germany during      WWII. They have since taken on the cause of genocide in Sudan and other      countries. The article is written to explain the history of Sudan and the      reasons for the genocide from the perspective of the holocaust survivors.      The history and time line in the article matched the information in      "Lost Boys No More", by Abraham Nhial and DiAnn Mills. The      enormity of the destruction of people and their lives is beyond      understanding. When paired with the personal story of the book, the      genocide becomes much more tangible. This article provides an excellent      summary and short explanation of who is responsible for the killings in      Sudan. By giving specific groups, times, religious, and economic      explanations, Abraham's story becomes believable. Unconsciously, the      article takes Abraham from a character in an novel to a friend recounting      the horrors in his life.

This article tells of when and how the lost boys came from Darfur, Sudan to Brooklyn in the United States, as well as how politically involved they are with Sudan even though they are in America. Knowing that this source came from Gale made evaluating it easier, because all the information about where the article came from, and its sources were all there. I mainly used the skills I learned from the information fluency models to evaluate the information, by searching to see if there is any plagiarism or such things as that. This information source enhanced my understanding of this issue by showing me that even if they are a 1000 miles away from Sudan. Showing that these lost boys are still wanting to be involved with the issue in Sudan, and to show people of this issue in Sudan.

  

                                        Works Cited  "Genocide in Darfur, Sudan." DarfurScores.org. The Government, n.d. Web. 1 Nov. 2010. <http://www.darfurscores.org/darfur>. This document talks about specifically the Genocide in Sudan. this is useful because it focuses in on the Genocide rather than the whole war which is very use full for an informative paper on a book about genocide. I didn't evaluate this source too thou roughly , because i felt that it could be trusted. It was a government owned source (.org) so it was considered safe. This source was very useful for our paper. It helped me to focus in on the Lost Boys and the genocide that they experienced in the Second Civil War. The information on this site focused in on the genocide more so than the other sources we used which mostly summarized the Civil War the genocide was involved with.

  

                                        Works Cited   Nhial, Abraham, DiAnn Mills, and Dan Patrick. Lost Boy No More. 1999. Nashville: Broadman & Holman , 2004. Print. This book is a memoir about the lost boys in Sudan, and their journey to safety. Mainly about a young boy named Abraham and his journey through the dangers of Sudan's civil war. The way I evaluated this memoir was by validating the author, and looking through their resources. Also, I used the CRAAP test to determine its currency, relevancy, authority, accuracy, and purpose of this memoir. Lost Boy No More informed me of the this issue of genocide within Sudan, telling of first hand accounting. This memoir furthers my understanding by explaining the details, the reasons for the issues in Sudan and the things being done to stop these issues.
