This sense of acceptance is heavily reliant on an individual’s attitude and experiences, as it revolves around where they seem to belong in a society, culture, or environment, and their realization of place in the world. This relationship between belonging and a sense of acceptance is explored through Peter Skrzynecki’s ‘Immigrant Chronicle’- a series of poems published in 1975 depicting the struggle of an immigrant family establishing themselves in post WWII Australia. The struggle for finding his place is explored vividly through his works ‘St Patricks College’ and ‘Postcard’,

Karapanagiotidis utilises emotive language very heavily when relaying the ‘sacrifices’ and ‘grief’ his grandma and parents endured when immigrating and settling in Australia to evoke a sense of sympathy for them specifically from the audience. The use of a personal story is used almost as evidence to support his contention, and the audience takes it as so. To then evoke respect for his relatives, Karapanagiotidis talks of how his parents were viewed as ‘uneducated’, yet insists they had ‘resilience, love of community, principles, sacrifice, entrepreneurship, selflessness and courage’, which the

Numbers, as useful as they are, have no story. Stories, as moving as can be, cannot penetrate the heart of cruel human. In the 21st century world of capitalism, what speaks more truly to an American than consumerism? Throughout Warmth of Other Suns, Wilkerson describes the journeys of migrants and the personal obstacles each character encountered while moving. These challenges and their relevance to the larger narrative of the Great Migration are represented through the items on display. The emotional journey of a migrant is told through their stories, and their physical journey is told through their possessions.

Coming into class and encountering the immigrant experience made me extremely nervous because I did not know what to expect. When you began speaking and conducting the class entirely in Spanish, I was confused as ever. Even after taking three years of Spanish in high school, I felt as if I was unprepared because I do not know or understand much of the language. I laughed inside hearing you speak a foreign language, thinking that I may have misread the course description when signing up for classes. I feel my experience in class can be used as a snippet to what an actual immigrant may have to face in an everyday life. I say this because they are around people they do not know and hearing a language that is foreign to their own. I believe that everyone feels a little unprepared and confused when put into a new situation, which is probably how immigrants feel entering into the United States. I like how you used this approach when

Too often the narrative of migration into the United States is romanticized in a way that dismisses the harsh truths and adversities immigrants face.

By uncovering her parents’ migration story, Bui finds new appreciation for her parents’ enduring perseverance to do the best they could do.

How much power does an image hold? The photo "Migrant Mother" taken by Dorothea Lange demonstrates the sacrifices a mother must make for her children to survive. This imagery shows the real day to day existence of migrant workers and their families. It expresses how tough times can be and it shows the reality of what a migrant worker would go through when there is no optimism left; Empathy can be approached in many forms and can be demonstrated through a variety of perspectives.
