    Arrival
    I had finally got here to America and when i first stepped foot on the small island it was great. The people who worked there were nice and all I had to do was answer some questions and pass a medical exam. But before I got out two of the men that were on the ship with me were taken away becasue they did not pass the medical exam. It was a big stuggle because the men were fighting back but I got out of there safe.

    Chaos in Boston
    I had finally made it to America and right now i was in boston. It was crazy here right when i got here there were people trying to sell me stuff and I didn't even have enough room for me to walk through the crowded area without getting bumped or pushed. Right when a man offered me a hat hand from his collection a little child stole one of his hats but he didnt see. Then a mnute later he accused me of stealing but i got out of there safely. Then i found a room and later i would find a job.

    I started looking for jobs to pay for my room clothing and food. Immediatly i found a job for a meat packing company. This job did not pay well but it would get me by until I moved on with my life to the West. Ive made some friends who came from Ireland so its not that bad. Even though my boss is mean i dont see him that often.

    I had traveled west to find land and to settle down. On the day of the race I had prepared for was havoc. When the race began a man that I had drinks with before was shot half a mile from where we started in front of me (over land). This shot went through his head and he was instatnly dead. I pretended like i didnt see the death of this man because there were more imprortant things for me to do. Atlast I had found land with trees a stream and a huge open feild for me to start my farm.
