Immigrant Descriptive Writing

To a large extent the notion of belonging is innately valued and fundamental to a person’s life. The concept of whether a person develops feelings of community or isolation is largely dependant on internal and external factors which collectively influence an individual’s physical space. This space can be composed of external factors such as a person’s physical environment, their outer relationships, society and internal factors such as cultural understanding and different states of being. The poetry anthology Immigrant Chronicle, composed by Peter Skryznecki, details different aspects of his experience of immigrating from post-war Poland to Australia. Specifically, the poems ‘Ancestors’ and ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ explores how one’s understanding

The immigrants that the wall is meant to block out are essential to the United States. Many immigrants and illegal immigrants find work in large fields, harvesting different products. The work that is done by these people is crucial for keeping costs of these products where they are. In an article by the New York Times, it says, “Bob Stallman, the president of the American Farm Bureau, cited a Labor Department survey placing the percentage of illegal workers in the fields at more than 50 percent. Other groups say the figure is closer to 70 percent. Denying farmers that labor supply, Mr. Stallman wrote, would cost them $5 billion to $9 billion annually.” Building a wall and preventing new immigrant workers from entering the country would harm the United States and its companies.

Feeling a bit uninspired? Yeah, I know the feeling. But I also know the solution! It is five simple letters LACMA. That’s right, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the perfect place to conjure your creative juices. LACMA is one of the premiere museums in Southern California, offering an array of paintings and sculptures ranging from Modern Art to German expressionism. There’s nothing better than spending a luxurious Sunday perusing the amazing art within the seven different buildings LACMA has to offer. This “tour de art” as we will call it, should only be broken up with a visit to the museum’s restaurant, Pentimento, which offers brunch every Sunday from 11-3pm. I know I’ve inspired you to get inspired but, what is more inspiring is that

Tuscany is a region in Italy often referred to as a charmed land. Not only is it considered as the cradle of art, but Tuscany is also a part of the modern charm and ancient splendor. Here, one will find a hidden palace, hilltop castles, old towns nestled in the mountains, and ancient chapels. Each spot in the land of Tuscany has hidden treasures to be found, such as an original colored piazza, famous museums housing masterpieces, a fresco in the church, large fortresses and walls, and majestic palaces and cathedrals.

Imagine a couple flying millions of miles to adopt two children who have been abandoned by their parents. They gave me a second chance at a better life in the US. It all started in 2001, Saint Petersburg Russia, Carrie and Brendan flew over the seas. Traveled to a tiny town called Luga to pick up my brother and I. I was dressed in a child's dress and two hot pink bows. I was too young to remember most of these events but I’ve been told many times how it went. I was very curious when my parents came to meet me in the orphanage that I stayed in.

As our plane landed, all I could see was green around the dirt landing strip. Trees, bushes, and tall grass crowded my view of the jeep that would take us to the cabins. We piled our duffel back in the back and drove off. Once my family and I arrived, the managers and staff all welcomed us. Everyone was so friendly! They showed us around where we would be staying for the next week; the view from our cabin was breathtaking. We could walk out of our cabin and an elephant would be standing less than 15 feet away eating leaves in the cool shade of the tree. The morning after we had arrived and were all settled in, we went on a game drive. We did not go on these game drives to kill, just to observe the animals in their natural habitat. Therefore,

According to the needs during early resettlement and acculturation of newcomers, immigrant community-based nonprofit organizations are established with a very limited capacity at the beginning. Especially immigrant communities establish their organizations associating with the ethnics, religious beliefs or their nations. For example, in Buffalo area, Burmese Community Services, Inc. Bhutanese-Nepali Community of Buffalo, Inc. Karen Society of Buffalo, Inc. are organized based on their ethnic group and nations and Temple of God in Chris—Church of Nazarene and Ethiopian Church, Buffalo Myanmar Indigenous Christian Fellowship are established based on the religious.

Upon approaching the Oakland Museum of California, it is a slightly larger building than the surroundings, that take the entire block. The futuristic design, with vertical and horizontal metal or cement walls, would make it stand out from the surroundings; but with about more than fifty percent of the exterior covered with tall trees, the building blends in well with other structure around it. The entrance lobby has a wide downward staircase, which surprising since I thought that most of the museum is on a flatter surface. I notice couple students, a middle age lady, some elders, and some guys around twenty to thirty years old. It was a hot afternoon, but it was a cool and calm atmosphere inside the museum. Inside the art gallery room of the

“We are all immigrants. Our only difference is that some of us arrived earlier and some of us later” a great quote from Ruiz (1997). From the 1930’s to the 1970’s most people that immigrated here were from Europe, it is only recently that people from Mexico began immigrating here (Christie, 1998). The only difference is, when people were emigrating here from Europe, they already had high income and educational levels (1998). People that are emigrating here now from Mexico have trouble keeping the economy up (1998). Economists Beverly Fox Kellam and Lucinda Vargas (1998) wrote in a recent report for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, “U.S. immigrants, on average, earn less that native workers, and the

Introduction. (Imran Khan) Canada has a long history of welcoming, immigrants from all over the world, for the development of its economic growth. It is important for the new immigrants who wish to make Canada their second home to live free in Canada without ay barriers. The sooner the immigrants find a meaningful job the sooner they will be able to live independently, instead of depending on government. According to a 2011 Royal Canadian Bank (RBC) report, very recent immigrants (arriving in the past 0-5 years), only make up 3.6% of the Canadian workforce, whereas those who arrived in the past 5-10 years make up 3.2% of the Canadian workforce (p.1).

A superficial examination of Roget's Thesaurus of the English Language reveals the following facts; the word WHITENESS has 134 synonyms; 44 of which are favorable and pleasing to contemplate, i.e. purity, cleanness, immaculateness, bright, shining, ivory, fair, blonde, stainless, clean, clear, chaste, unblemished, unsullied, innocent, honorable, upright, just, straight-forward, fair, genuine, trustworthy, (a white man-colloquialism). Only ten synonyms for WHITENESS appear to me have negative implications—and these only in the mildest sense: gloss over, whitewash, gray, wan, pale, ashen, etc.

As a child I witnessed my parents work hard all day, so hard that my father developed pains in his back, for our family business and simultaneously struggle to buy me clothes as I grew out of them. I was a joke for to the kids from the nicer neighborhoods dressed in new outfits because mine were held together with patches.My family’s business began getting less customers every week after a bigger business was opened, and eventually we went out of business.It wasn’t fair that across town they were drowning in money, as I was going to bed hungry.
