In the beginning of part 2, the book described how life was like in America, as an immigrant also described how their parents were worried about their children in America.
We had only second-hand stuff, rental houses in one redneck Catholic neighborhood after another, clothes at Round Robin, a black and white TV afflicted with wavy lines. Cooped up in those little suburban houses, the rules were as strict as for Island girls, but there was no island to make up for the difference.
Since I was fortune enough to be born in America, I not realize all the struggles and the difficult adaption immigrants have to go through. My mom immigrated from China when she was young and that made me think about how she went through it all back then; being all alone and knowing her parents are in the other side of the world.

I am so glad that I was born in the U.S. That way, I don't have to go through all those tests in order to become a citizen. My grandparents had to go through that when they immigrated from India. They would tell me all the struggles they had to go through to be a citizen. But they told me it was all worth it in the end. (:
ReplyDeleteI agree with Monica. It would be extremely difficult trying to immigrate from one country to America. I don't think I'd want to go through all those tests JUST to become a citizen. I'm lucky enough to be born an American, and not have to go through this entire process. Just like Monica, i have family that immigrated from Italy and various other places--and i'm really glad they did. :D
