Immigrants came for many reasons and not all stayed. Whether they were escaping persecution or seeking employment, all immigrants believed that they might find a better life in the United States. Because it was not inexpensive to come to the US, many immigrants left family members or friends back in the “old country.” Often, they would write letters to keep in touch, keep the people left behind updated, give them a glimpse into life in America. That is precisely what you need to do.
Write back to the “letter” that I have attacehd. You can Decide who wrote you the letter, who you are, and where you came from. Write back about your trip, about what you are doing—your job, your life, your home, your food.
This is your chance to write a letter home, much like you might do from college, telling your family about your experiences, only you are writing as an immigrant somewhere around the turn of the century.
