Hopes and Dreams
The last three books I have read talk about stories of the immigration experience. The first book is called Sent Away. It talks about a Japanese family and how hard their life was in the United States after the Japanese Army attacked Pearl Harbor at the Naval Base. The second book is called Boat People. It talks about the Vietnamese people and how they had to escape Vietnam because the War started. They did not wanted to be killed and they had to migrate to the United States. It was not easy for them to work with Americans . The Vietnamese worked in fishing, but Americans had rules that the Vietnamese did not understand. The third book is called No Body Knows. It talks about Africans in the United States. One of the bad things happened in the story was at the store. The store had two doors,the first door had fresh paint,the second door was old and worn, first door had a sign said "white only" and the second door's sign said "colored only."....The author of this three books is Tana Reiff. I liked these true stories . That happened a long time ago.

What a great book Alejandro! Thanks so much for sharing. It's unfathomable sometimes to think how unwelcoming Ameraica can be or seem. Books like this are important. Maybe soon you'll write of your own experiences?
It was a long time ago, but we are a young nation and have many sins to live through. Those books each have a unique story , and there are many others. What we have worked through in 230 years is alot, and now we have alot more immagration issues to deal with. Let's hope that we dealwith them with compassion and understanding and remember how much each new group of immagrants have added to what we are as a nation. Keep reading and sharing what you read with articulation , mark

I read "Nobody Knows" and I think it is a beatiful book, because it tell us about what happened with the color people in the period of slaves and how was the life after the people were free.
