The Immigrant: A Short Story Of A Soldier

Brian was left only with his clothing and a hatchet that hung from his belt. Brian began to set up a camp for himself. ? At one time in the far past it had been scooped by something, probably a glacier, and this scooping had left a kind of sideways bowl, back in under a ledge. It wasn?t deep, not a cave, but it was smooth and made a perfect roof and he could almost stand in under the ledge?(P 57). Brian began to hunt for food and found only berries and drank from the lake for water. Brian eventually created a spear to catch fish and other small animals. This all progressed very slowly. Brian also eventually found out how to make a fire created by sparks from his hatchet and a rock striking together. Brian lived for nearly two months in the woods all alone. Each day that Brian lived he discovered or learned something new. He was living pretty well when he ran into a couple of unexplainable disasters. First he had shot a bird with a bow that he made of a stick and his shoelace. He was cleaning the bird and his tools in the lake when a moose trampled on him and tried to kill him. The moose pushed him down in the water and wouldn?t let him up. ? It was a cow and she had no horns, but

Hello reader, I’m about to tell you a story of some of my life. I am not normally one to volunteer details about myself, which I’ll remain somewhat reserved or completely leave some events out of this autobiography. Nonetheless, I believe I can still make my story interesting for the reader. I was born 1979, in Tampa, Florida; which, is also the same day my biological father decided to leave my mother and I. My mother isn’t a native Floridian, but had moved there with her family when she was still an infant, and had spent most of her life growing up in Florida. Needless to say, my father leaving was not an exciting time for my mother and I. Although she was employed Jimmy Cater was president and had taken the nation into

I was born on january/31/1919 in Vietnam and immigrated to France. In 1942 I was studying at the university in Nice, where I met a fellow student, Jadwiga Alfabet, a Jewish refugee from Poland. In the summer of 1942 the French police began arresting Jews with foreign nationality. In September 1943 the Germans occupied Nice and all the Italian controlled zones and we were in danger of deportation. I decided to hide not only my wife, but also her relatives. In November 1943 I took a train with a few of my wife's relatives to get them in touch with a smuggler who could take them to Switzerland, I made this trip several

“For Angelica Gallegos, the worst part has been going without a shower for five months” (Source 2). “Juan de La Cruz works on this rig 12 hours a day, seven days a week, carefully guiding the drill bit. He’s standing in a little hut next to the drill hole that they call ‘the dog house.’ It’s where workers keep a log of the layers of sand and clay, they find, collecting samples every ten feet as the drill probes deeper” (Source 3).

     It started like any other day up on the hills of Rhein, but that day had the scent of freedom floating in the air. The journey ahead of me had been teasing me for weeks, I was just so anxious to get away and start all over again. I had made certain arrangements before I left, our family dog was not allowed on the ship that we were going to be arriving in America, so I had my parents take care of the dog for us. It was a hard thing to do seeing that the dog had become more than just a pet to the children and I, for we almost would recognize him as a family member. Most of our possessions we were able to keep with us, but we had to keep the load light since it was going to be a tight stay in the steerage. I

Our wagon train just kept on moving. As we were moving along George and Juan decided to go hunting. When George

A Narrative of a Revolutionary Soldier is a book that focuses on a man named Joseph Plumb Martin during the time of the Revolutionary War. This book tells us about his experiences and his contributions during the war and what it took to be a Revolutionary Soldier. The main point of this book is to show the patriotism and heroism of Martin and those who served beside him. Martin was a young man when he joined the Army to fight for patriotism, and he fought throughout the entire war, which ended in 1783. Martin enlisted in the war even though it was against the wishes of some of those around him.

One night at camp all the campers were invited to watch a movie in the big field. There had been some rules set in place for the safety of the campers. One of the rules was to not go past the orange cones into the woods. Later during the movie Jack Will whispered to August that he had to go to the bathroom, even though they knew it was wrong they walked to the woods to go to the bathroom. As they were walking to the woods they passed Henry, Miles, and Amos who were coming out of the woods.

Fredrick looked upon the faces of these young men knowing that some of them would not live to be his age, let alone make it through the night. They lived and died for the sake of others. He understood that. The king was so far removed and his edicts easily broken when the lives of others were at stake. It was a conflict of principles, but it happened all the time. They would worry about explaining their actions to their sovereign later. That is if they decided to tell him at all.

“Freedom isn’t free,” William said. “Freedom and individual responsibility require hard work. Some people are willing to give up their freedom in exchange for nanny state liberalism. That’s where this nation was once heading before we turned things around. Here in this barn right now you have people exercising their freedom to choose to be a part of a community. In Canada, the government makes that choice for you. So, you have to ask yourself, would you rather live free, or supplicate yourself to a system that places no value on the

The next morning his dad says you are in luck School is going to be a have a day today because of the giant storm that’s going to happen to night. Later they go to the store

One day there was a family named the Bob family. In that family, there was the father named Bill, a mother named Charm, and the son, who is their kid, named is Bill Jr. When they got done eating breakfast and cleaned up the silverware, they started to head outside their house. The dad and son went to go hunt for deer and turkey to eat for dinner, while the mother picked corn,beans,wheat, and peas with a few other crops out of the nearby field that they owned. Then, after all that was done they sat around the table and ate dinner that the dad and son shot and with some food that the mom picked in the nearby field, then they washed up and went to

By the late 1930s Charles, Sarah and son Stanley spent 2 winters and a summer at Dorset Ontario just to the east of the Lake of the Bays and not far from present day Algonquin Park. Such an honest and joyful life could be disrupted by events out of a farmers controlhowever. In November 1940, four or five of Charlie’s pigs got infected with hog cholera. The government inspector ordered that he cull all his pigs that were in the same pen. This was particularly painful for Charlie as they were mostly spring pigs and hence of considerable worth. However, as the disease strikes suddenly and is so virulent that it was the only course to take. In all he had to kill 150 animals.

As he got up from the dusty road, he noticed a small cave maybe three feet high and three feet wide. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “Wowww!” Dave exclaimed. He crawled to the cave, grabbed his flashlight from his pack, and slid inside the cave.

Ultimately, anyone who serves in the United States military should receive automatic and unconditional citizenship. Everyday there are hundreds of immigrants serving in every branch of the military, but not one of them is promised citizenship. Anyone who wears our uniform, fights to defend our constitution and is an American soldier should never be subjected to deportation. However, our current immigration policy doesn’t even allow a judge to consider a defendant’s military service. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act there is a requirement of mandatory detainment and the removal of immigrants who have committed and been convicted of aggravated felonies. The hole in this act that allows U.S. veterans to be deported needs to be adjusted by our lawmakers and members of congress.
