hi can somebody please help me from connections
Whats your question?
i need help on an essay portfolio but from someone in connections in US history ;/ because they have the same assignment.
Whats the essay about?
well bascally i have to make a story board then write the essay. But i have to do a storyboard that tells the experiences of an immigrant to the United States
Well that's not too bad, considering most immigrants took the same route to the United States. Lets start by picking an immigrant from a European country.
oh yeah i know that thanks btw :3 but i dont really know how we do the story board like i would ask my teacher but i'm 100% she doesnt like me and im scared of her lol
Dont worry about it lol
Lets set you on the right course, from there, the story board will be easy.
Pick a European state the immigrant is coming from
what famous immigrant could i write about?
You can write about a famous immigrant, but I wouldn't. If you made up one, it would be easier to make your own story rather than doing research to find one. Did your teacher said you have to write about a famous immigrant?
she just said to choose a main character for my storyboard.
i can make up my own. :D
Ok, start with that. I'll just tell you the most common way immigrants came to the States, and you can do a little more research with this and refine it and so on.
ooooo okay thank you :3 So far i have chosen my character to be a Female of age seveteen :3
They basically came here on a large ship, it was extremely cramped in it. It took months to get here, I think it was 2 months. Or 2 weeks, not sure, look into that part. The boats did carry immigrants with diseases. Just look more into the boats they came in. After that, they arrived in 2 ports, depends were you came from. The most common port was the one in New York City I believe, look into that. After that, they had legal inspections, checked for weapons and so on. If something wasnt right, or you had contribans, you m'am, are in serious trouble and will be deported back to wence you came!
After that, they had a REAL tough time, lived in real bad places called "The Slums", look into that. Often factory owners took advantage of the workers in many ways, especially through language barriers.
Oh and alot of discrimination too, especially towards the Japanese and the Irish.
Thats the basic jist of what you need, from the info I given you, research those things more in depth, from there you make your story board and essay. Good luck!
Oh thank you so much really helped thank you thank you!!! <3
No problem :) May I have a medal please? x3
