Assignment 7

The i chose to read the story by Benjamin Wadsworth. I learned that the families back during 1712 were to be happy families. In these families they had to communicate, and take care of each other. If one person got sick the whole family was supposeed to help them get better and if one perosn was having problems then the whole family had to sit and listen, and give their word on what they thought about the problem or what would be the best way for them to solve the problem. But in these families the husband and wife had to be for each other they had to be able to bring one another happiness not just money. The families from the 1712 and the families of 2008 are TOTAL OPPOSITES. Families nowadays mostly get married because the spouse has a wealthy family, or the spose is a wealthy person themselves, so they marry for money and not for love and then they divorce because either the spouse is going broke or because they realize that they have nothing in common. I think that families now should be like families from the 1712's.

What Brings You Here??

I personally think that immigrants come over here because they want to find better jobs, or maybe its because they want to raise there family in a better community. When some immigrants come over to america they don't have a very hard time finding a job. Most hispanics that you see today are doing some construction. You would think that construction would be something that they are either good at or can't find anything else that interests them. Or some come over because they want there child to be raised proper. Not that where they happen to be from is a HORRIBLE place but maybe it just not what they want there child to see everyday. Not that america dosen't have it bad sides but it may not be as bad as where they come from.


Well, if I was to immigrate somewhere then i would do it for economic reasons. Maybe the ecnomony is suffering because we weren't getting enough sun power to help grow our crops. And that was the only way that we were able to feed our families @ times. We grew our own vegetables and we got meat from farmers who had cows and pigs. So if we weren't getting any of our vegetables then i would want to go somewhere, where i could get everything that i need for my family.
