Italian island Lampedusa as stated in the title, is one of many European countries that immigrants seek refuge in. As displayed through the artwork, many refugees are forced to face the dangerous situations of boarding overcrowded vessels for long journeys to have chance of a new life. Exploring further, 13,000 people have perished in the hazardous waters in attempts to reach the European countries. Such discarded

    Dei Mare Capstone

    Conceived in the summer of 2012, Dei Mare began just as the name implies. Meaning "of the sea," our work stems from the labors of the Italian immigrants who settled the port-town of San Pedro, California. Voyaging across the Atlantic and through the greater United States, these men and women made their abode along the coast of California. It was here where these individuals took to the sea, trolling the coastal waters and casting hand-woven nets, aiming to capture the fortitude within the Pacific. Heavily influenced by lavish Italian history and ever-so alluring Pacific Ocean, each work of Dei Mare bears a story of its own.…

    Peter Sckerznki Summary

    In Migrant hostel an emphasis on the physical and emotional divisions set up different nationalities are shown. They are searching for some sense of belonging in a foreign land, “nationalities sought each other out instinctively”. The use of the simile “like a homing pigeon circling to get its bearing” creates a sense of the migrant’s desire for a home; a place where they belong. Belonging also implies alienation and national groups are physically “partitioned off at night”, but they also choose to separate themselves from the other migrants because of “memories of hunger and hate.” The use of alliteration through the ‘h’ creates a sense of the migrant’s vented emotions at the other groups.…

    Why Did The Italian Migrants Leave Australia

    The experiences of the Italian Migrants have changed from the time of their arrival after WW2 to the present day. The Italian migrants were forced to leave Italy after the war due to the fact that many of them were displaced as a result of sheer destruction that some areas had undergone. What was once a home, was now no more than a pile of rubbish. Also, with many loved ones dead, leaving and making a new start was very tempting. When they first arrived in Australia, the Italians experienced considerable cultural shock. They found that Australia was insensitive to their culture and traditions and therefore expected them to change. The Italians were mainly like the “black sheep” of the population. The feud…

    Case Studies: Immigration Control By Willa Cather

    The text emphasizes the hardships that immigrants often have to endure when going into a new country in the search of a better life or the American dream as many call it. The text potentially symbolizes America’s people as well as its culture because America has and is still today very diverse due to the wide variety of races, religions, and cultures that immigrants introduce when they come here. America can be seen as a melting pot because the different nationalities, cultures, and ethnicities of immigrants eventually “melt” together to create a common culture although several immigrants choose to retain their culture no matter what. The majority if not all immigrants leave behind everything they know and love to try and get a better life in a new country where there are more opportunities. America has always been a popular choice for immigrants as it has a plentiful of resources to offer such as employment, freedom of religion, and better education programs. Immigrants often choose to leave their home country because they have a family to sustain and their home country is simply not adequate for their necessities. In My Ántonia Willa Cather really focuses on the struggles that immigrants face upon arriving to their new country. People often think it is easy for immigrants to simply leave and go into other countries but Willa proves that it is quite the opposite. Immigrants do not immediately get a better life upon arriving to a new country which is depressing but it is the truth. Immigrants still have to face new problems that come with the change of countries. The problems that immigrants face in the new countries can sometimes be worse than the problems they faced at home which can be really discouraging. Willa Cather portrays the hardships that many immigrants struggle through the story of the Shimerdas, “tony was barefooted, and she shivered in her cotton dress and was…

To show, the author writes, “Lately she’s begun to work at the main desk...A number of them live alone, as Asima does now, because they are divorced. They are the first American friends she has made in her life,” (162).

    Skrzynecki's Poem 'Crossing The Red Sea'

    When a migrant decides to leave their homeland, challenging and emotional obstacles may occur. This concept is expressed in Skrzynecki's poem “Crossing the Red Sea,” where the poet explores the challenges faced, when leaving his homeland to Australia, in search of a better quality of life. The poem also outlines the emotional and physical endeavours, of being a migrant. An example of this, can be depict through the line “stretched out on blankets and pillows against cabins and rails.” Through the use of vivid imagery, Skrzynecki has conveyed the situations migrants had to undergo, by expressing to the reader the physical hardships of being a migrant.…

    Melba Patillo Beals Analysis

    Summon a vision of yourself in a crowded setting, surrounded by white men, women, children and seniors. With that image carved, draw yourself as a young African American in the 1960s, despised by the white man. Though you stick out like a sore thumb, eyes glance past you, blinded in your midst. An ‘outcast’ has now become your terminal label- segregated, judged, despised. Does this story sound familiar? Yes, it does, as millions of books in the 21st century alone, have exhibited these themes. While eloquently written, Melba Patillo Beals unoriginality in the subject of hardships in African American lives in the time of severe oppression makes this story a tale told too often, which should not be exposed to a classroom of easily distracted teenagers.…

    Immingrants to the New World

    Other immigrants, such as gottlieb mittelberger, experienced the hardship of coming to the new world. Gottleib Mittelberger was a German school teacher and organ player who came to the new world as a indentured servant. “During the voyage there is on board these ships terrible misery, stench. Fumes, horror, heat, constipation, boils, scurvy, cancer, mouth rot, and the like, all of which come from old and sharply-salted food and meat, also from very bad and foul water, so that many die miserably” (Mittelberger 54). Women were often thrown overboard with their child because they either could not give birth or died on the ship. “Children from one to seven rarely survive the voyage: parents often watched as their children were thrown into the ocean. Once the ship has landed, no one is allowed to leave unless you had paid for passage and must wait to be purchased.…

    italian immigratin

    Gaining entrance to the United States required a background clean of crime, a small amount of money, and a way to get to America. Many were not even allowed to come to America because the risk was too high that they had gang connections. “In 1921, Congress enacted the Emergency Quota Act, the first immigration law. This legislation restricted the number of immigrants by their country of origin.”(Prezi) The act stated that only three percent of the population from Italy would be emitted to the U.S each year. Once the Italians arrived at Ellis Island, doctors would assess their physical and mental well-being, if they showed any signs of sickness, there was a good chance they would be sent back to Italy. The immigrants would then be subjected to legal inspection, where they would be asked questions. If they answered the questions correctly, they would be welcomed.…
