My Life as a Migrant Worker

I was born and raised in Texas, but when the great deppresion came around and there was no more money, or crops, I tired to migrate to Napa Valley, California. I thought that California was the best choice because it has mild weather in which I could hope to farm all sorts of crops. There was one other motive for migrating there, my cusin Alexander, he was working on a farm there and he said he was doing well, and that it was lots of fun. I decided it was time to set off, so I packed up the few belongs I could afford to keep, and left the next day. Once I arrived it was nothing like I expected, bad food, awful living perameters, mean workers, long hours, and worst of all low pay. However the bright side is, I have somewhere to live, food, and a little money. I may have to just tought this one out,  I am one of the few lucky people that does have a job and isn't in a completely insane war.

The American Dream

According to www.Dictionary.com "The American Dream" is:
 The ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American.This however was never accomplished, there is still in-equality affecting each and every american citzen today, usaully depending on there gender, race, and religion. Freedom was another thing we never accomplished, every day people are getting there rights taken away or brushed to the side by the goverment. The goverment that would rather see millions of robbing, and stealing white men and women than one african american young man walking home from school. Opportunity? The country is so in debt that even if you get a job the pay will be extremely reduced and there aren't nearly enough jobs to really get one. The American Dream, was always a dream and never a reality, I would like to one day see a world where this dream becomes a truth every wqhere, not just in america.
