Alright so pretend you're an immigrant from ... Ireland. Okay, write to your mother, and describe the trip there first. Boats aren't the best when it comes to traveling, so do a little complaining. Next paragraph, you left home because there are a lot more opportunities in America. The Irish were facing poverty ... Google is your best friend when it comes to history.
