Birth date
Yay, this is the day I was brought into this world. Cant say I was a lucky guy. I was born inside of my house and my parents called me Endo. That name represents a bird and means freedom of spirit. Little did I know that I would be a immigrant from Ireland. -
potatoe Famine
I walked out to look at the photatoes and I was in a great surprise.
The photatoes were all dying and I had no idea how. My dad ran out of our house and said some colorful word. He said it was the same bug that was killing my uncle's crops. I will be moving to the U.S to help support my family. I only hope that they wont starve right way. -

Ellis Island
I remeber being so startled and yet amazed when I looked at the great Statue Of Liberty. It made me think of freedom yet also a new begining in life. I was amazed of all the other immigrants looking for a new begining. Police checked my baggage and then me for health problems. It felt like a intergation . A guy asked to carry my baggage so I let him. He took my things and ran like the wind. -
Boss Tweed
I was walking out of Ellis Island when a overwieght man wanted my attention. He asked me if I wanted a Nice home, a nice warm meal and a paying job. I said yes excitely because I did not have a nice mouthwatering meal since I left Ireland. The man gave me all he said and all I had to do was vote for someone called William Tweed. -
The Apartment
Well I guess it is better than the under streets. The room has a strange odor that smells like crap. I asked my apartment manager where I dump my Waste and he just said out of the window. Americans must not know the dangers of waste I thought to myself. I said my prayers and told God to bless Mr.Tweed. Then I got onto my blanket I brought with me and went into a dark sleep. -
The job
Well I dont know if th job part of Mr.Tweeds deal was great. I work in a place that is called a sweatshop. It is called a sweatshop because of Me and My companions have to work in a room that is very hot and we do not have any personal space. I work all day for about nothing. It is still better than Ireland though. I produce clothes from a machine. If there was a fire,we all would die. I think it is dumb that the fire escape is locked. -
Birthday
I was born in the city of Beijing in China. My name is Chang Bo because I had such a smooth face and I am precious because I am their only son.. Chang means smooth and Bo means precious. Little did I know that I would be an immigrant to America. -
Journey to America
Well I remember leaving my home town to America. Me and my cousins Chong Woe and Ying Woe are going to America for a better living. I heard storys of hatered to the Chinese but I do not beleive them. We are human arent we? Well, my cousins can get into trouble fast so I hope they dont do anything to make us unwelcome. We have bein sailing for a long time. Someone I think stole my things but it is to crowded I could not chase him. I have never been so sea sick in my whole life. -
Angel island
I was so happy [yet nauseated] when I reached Angel island. I got my cousins and walked off the boat. When I went in I was astonished by all the other Chinese. When I was geting checked for health problems, it seemed that the docter wanted me to have a problem. He checked my ears, eyes and many other places. There was a guy on a box yelling to kick the chinese out of America.He said the chinese where #!*&%^$@!. I got my cousins and me away from there fast. -
The racism
It is crazy from all the racism. Everyone I see wants me dead. No one willl hire me so I tryed lowere wages. Me and my cousinsI got a job in making skyscrappers. They are the bigger than all of my villiage's huts stacked on top of each other. We dont have anything saving us from the fall except concrete. One day A white worker pushed my cousin. He did not fall of the skyscrapper though. Then the white man pushed hard and my cousin Ying Woe fell off. I cryed and shoved the white man off. -
The Hunt
Since I pushed that white guy off the sky-scrapper I have been getting hunted down by gang members. Me and my cousin are always on the move. I live under the building of the city. The filth is nasty and there is no clean drinking water. I step in poop every day. I cry for all the hatred for me and my cousin. I have escaped death so many times, I will not give up hope. -
Caught
Well, I knew I would get found. The police caught me nd my cousin and sent us to the police station. I was too tired to fight them. They first took mug shots of me and let my cousin go. I was thrown into the worst cell of the prison and stayed there for 15 years. I broke out of the prison but I wont say how.
