How Does Galerorza Learn
How hard would it be living in a place that you have been for a long time but, having to move somewhere else for a better life? Ernesto Galarza had to learn a lot moving into America. Ernesto Galarza had to learn the rules, things around him, food, and the new types of people. Ernesto especially had to learn the language because if he doesn't learn english he will never understand his teachers or his peers around him. Ernesto Galarza didn't just have to learn all those things but he has to show pride and a great attitude to be able to feel better and more confident about yourself around people.

    When reading “Enrique’s Journey”, it makes me realize the hardships that are occurring around the world while everyone living their ideal life is not aware of these destitutions. When Enrique took the risk to plunge into the dangerousness of crossing the border; traveling with unexpected ambushing of gangs and thug, getting caught by corrupted officers, the dangerousness of jumping from or on trains and other hardships that he has dealt with. What I liked was that Enrique knew about the struggles that he will be facing but he didn’t care. His mother was more important than anything else in the world. Even though his mother would send him and his sister American clothes and as well as money, he didn’t want them. he would rather see his mother…

    “How would you guys feel about moving?” Those words both excited and frightened me. They were not surprising to hear, as there had been hints that it might happen for a long time, but I was still shocked. Leaving my home of twelve years, where I had gone through school, made friends, and grown up, was not going to be easy. At the same time, however, it represented new opportunities that I didn’t have in the suburbs of Dallas. I imagine that this was what Deo and the Lost Boys of Sudan felt as they journeyed to their new lives in America, but on a much lesser scale. As difficult as it was to move to rural Northwest Iowa, I cannot imagine the difficulty of immigrating to the United States from the war-torn parts of Africa. At the same time, through reading and watching their stories, I was able to relate somewhat because of my own experiences. I have realized as a result that I should…

    Walt Whitman describes the United States of America by stating, “The genius of the Unites States is not best or most in its executive or legislatures... America is the races of races.” Whitman uses United States of America and America interchangeably, igniting this habit as a social norm throughout history. With this repetitive, conscious replacement, “America” has become synonymous with the United States of America. However, “America” began to develop a meaning beyond the geographic location.…

    In “One Last Time,” Gary Soto talks about how he grew up in an immigrant family, and to make money had to work the fields. He talks about how the menial jobs made him feel and what he thought of them. I may not be able to relate to the immigrant laborer part of the story. I understand what it’s like to come from very little but still think that some things are not worth doing just to get something if it will make you feel like less than you are. Soto goes into great detail about his time picking grapes and cotton, but he doesn’t really go into as much detail about why he feels the way he does. I feel that even though he talks about being a laborer and how he felt, it can be understood by many different types of people. I think that it is a true testament to a person’s character that they can rise above challenges that are set in front of them and make something positive come from the experience.…
