HST 165 Week 2 Immigration Experience

Imagine you are a European immigrant to America, trying to adapt to the new life you sought. You want to share your experiences with your family back home so they will better understand.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word first-person description of your experiences as an immigrant to America in the late 19th or early 20th century. The description should take the form of a journal entry, autobiography, or diary.

Include descriptions of the following:

  • The political, social, or economic factors that precipitated your migration
  • The journey across the ocean, including sleeping accommodations and available food
  • Ellis Island
  • The city you settle in and why
  • The racist attitudes of some Americans
  • Tenement housing
