Journey To America

The two arguments, Coming and Going: Round-Trip to America by Mark Wyman and Permanently Lost: The Trauma of Immigration by Victor Greene provides readers with an insight about the crucial labor conditions, the physical and mental deformities, and the struggles to gain a small fortune immigrants from various countries faced during their stay in America. In Wyman’s argument, the author focused on the harsh living/ working conditions immigrants experienced while building up a new, industrialized nation.

In 1860s, due to the fact that southern states desired to maintain the slavery while the North wanted to ban the slavery, then the Union which was leaded by Abraham Lincoln fought with the Confederacy which was conducted by Jefferson Davis, and the Union hoped to achieve a goal that preserved the unity. However,because the South owned a large number of troops, controlled wide geographic extent, and had a powerful government, it was difficult for the Union to defeat the Confederacy thoroughly.Furthermore, the Confederacy`s strategy was that it just needed to defense, fought with the North in its own lands, and waited for northern opposition of the war growing up, then it could convince the Union to stop the Civil War (Goldfield,ed.,The American Journey: A History of the United State, P402).

Following the Civil War, Confederate soldiers return home to “cope with the consequences of their defeat.” (Goldfield, ed., The American Journey: A History of the United States, 451)Upon their return, they notices the downfall and destruction of their homes and towns, economic devastation, death, and poverty. Transforming their “struggle into a symbol of courage” (Goldfield, 452) they sought for redemption, Reconstruction. Having to seek shelter with their families, the ex-confederate soldiers feared the revenge of the former slaves for the many years of slavery and mistreatment.

This started to shape my identity. Then, I started to talk with them in ENGLISH. Basketball players, basketball teams and then Mills High

In the poems on America many of the writers write about love for a certain view of this country.

Last week, I interviewed my father, Danny balint about his immigration story and how he his life was there. He told me about his journey to America arriving here in 1996, and his life in America when he came here was similar and different in many ways. I have learned a lot from interviewing him and that life was a lot different from our lives now. For instance one of his first job in Romania was setting up bowling pins earning 2.50$ every hour. Another thing I learned is that his baseball team earned second place in the country of Romania

My family and I came to America in search of a better life. The journey was a long and dangerous, but in the end, it was better for my family and me. I am from the Congo of central Africa and at the time the country had begun to recover from the war, but life was harsh. Living conditions were bad. Food and water were scarce, and soldiers would roam the streets terrorizing innocent villagers. But the worst problems came from home.

In the book “The Long Way Home: An American Journey” the author has many arguments and facts that he is trying to point out. “The only defensible war is a war is a war or defense” says Gilbert K. Chesterton. “The long way home an American journey” is about, The United States, always being a nation of immigrants and I say this because the U.S. had started out with foreign nationalities such as the Caucasians because when they entered the U.S. they claimed “to be the first to find America”, “says Christopher Columbus.”(The Long Way Home) So in 1917 when the U.S. nation army entered in the First World War that had about 2.5 million soldiers, who fought with U.S. armed forces in the long waterways of France and Belgium, some of that half a million nearly was one out of every five men were immigrants that was fighting with the U.S. armed force. In The Long Way Home, David Laskin, is also about Italians, Jews, Poles, Norwegians, Slovaks, Russians, and Irish men that had entered in the First World War U.S. Army as not known people and returned as Americans. In other words the native people that entered in the war were native people that were not normally recognized when they had come to the U.S. to fight in the First World War. In the native people childhoods in Europe, is where Laskin had started to unfolds the saga of their journeys in Ellis Island. While stating a new chapter in their lives

Since I came to America, I made great progress not only with foreign languages but also with my adaptive capabilities. From what I saw, read, and talked with my friends, I realized that I am improving more and more. In the past two years, I learned a lot more here.

The pilgrims were a group of people who were determined to change their lives. They wanted to live somewhere where they could freely worship God. So, they set off to find somewhere where they would not be persecuted or judged for what they believed. They fought through treacherous waters, sickness, and the new territory once they got on land. The pilgrims showed many different characteristics by making that journey to America. The three biggest characteristics the pilgrims showed were courage (bravery), love, and optimism.

There are many significant parts of my life that have had a huge impact on my personality, but there is one that has not only affected me, but has changed me for the better. My personal life changing experience was coming to America. For me, this bridge between my old life and new life is a shaky bridge that I attempted to cross and entered a whole new realm of life which changed everything.
