People across the world come here in hopes of the “American Dream” and for some, it does happen, but at what cost? How many come in hopes of finding a better life but just realize that to find a better life they must leave behind culture and previous ways of life. They realize that although they come here to be accepted, they’re isolated and in some cases looked down upon by the natives, in this case Americans. Immigration has always been an issue to some natives, viewing immigrants as people who take and ruin their turf, rather than just trying to share it. In “The House on Mango Street” the author, Sandra Cisneros, really shows us all the troubles an immigrant faces like isolation and the struggle of assimilation.
William Penn wrote an appeal for immigrants to come to Pennsylvania. There were more open jobs for people there, and better wages.

Most of the people India that live in slums are in poverty, hardly any education and never contribute anything to their society. Indians who live in slums have a small chance at being successful in life. The character Jamal shows this struggle viewing his life from the slums learning life lessons which he uses as a stepping stool in life. The story Slumdog Millionaire shows material of the slums with thefts, beggars, prostitution and murders all within their mist.

A- Uprooted: Refugees of the Global Economy 1,Main point of the movie: The global economy has forced people to leave their home countries to survival. 2,Connection to Devil’s Highway I think that the connection between “Uprooted: Refugees of the Global Economy” and “ Devil’s Highway” is that people come to the United States to survival. They want to have a better life here because they had a hard life in their home countries. However, It is not too easy to live in the United States. They have to face with many challenges here.
Unfree labor in the forms of slavery and indentured servitude was an essential component of the development of the American colonies and the United States after independence. These forms of labor arose due to the lack of wage labor, cost of wage labor, and efficiency of unfree labor. The American colonies and the United States were abundant with resources, but did not have the appropriate (or necessary) capital and labor. Migration from Europe to the colonies was discouraged because of high costs, personal risks, and uncertainties of living in a new land.
