The Migrant Experience

My name is Bob, i am what most people call a migrant worker. I left my farm in Oklahoma with all the other ``Okies`` just over a month ago. The reason that we left is because all of our farms dried up, we couldn`t even harvest, this left us no choice but to pack up our belongings and head California bound to look for work. Work was hard to come by, and everytime i did find a little work to do, it definately didn`t last for long. Moving from farm to farm became all to familiar and I often caught myself reminiscing on the days where food came easily. These last few weeks have been extremely hard for me to provide for my family, I can only hope that things getbetterforus.

The American Dream

The American Dream is the idea that any one person, no matter their race, gender or religion, can thrive in the country of America. It is the idea that any one person can build their lives up from nothing, they can literally go from rags to riches. The American Dream is freedom, freedom to live and work in whatever manner you like, however you like with a sense of security. The American Dream is liberty, and the feeling to love and trust those around you. However great this idea sounds, it really is just a dream. America, as a country is hugely in debt, and is not as perfect as some people make it out to be.
