A Journey to a New Land My parents immigrated to Canada in 1990 to escape the tyranny of the Chinese government and to build a better life in Canada. After listening to their stories of hardships and frustrations, I realized how fortunate I was to be living in the country I now called home. When the day came to revisit my homeland, I felt uncertain and nervous. Would I fit in? Would I like it there? These were some of the concerns that were racing through my mind. But as the trip progressed, I
During the Time of the age of exploration, soon after the earth was proven round, European countries traveled far and wide. Searching for new land to colonize, find natural resources and spread thier various religions. Overseas exploration had now defined the European culture. Searching for new wonderlands full of treasure. Most of the famous explorers we still know today could not afford the basic necessities needed to travel, resulting in the navigators turning towards the over meant in hopes of
The news Headline, " A New World ", as I read through the newspaper I understand that a new land was found by explorers, a" insurmountable world" as they said, with different ideals and different structure , however not much detail is there, which leaves space for the imagination to kick in.

By this he means that everyone thought the world was flat but by discovering this new land he “upset theologies”. He describes the reasons for Columbus going on a voyage as “multiple” and “confused”. Columbus wanted to cross the ocean to “prove his theories of navigation”. Since Spain was always desperate for wealth and the land routes were controlled by the Turks, Columbus wanted
fierce battles and melees between the Indians and the settlers that were born from this cultural conflict. In spite of this, many people may not know about the systematic and deliberate means employed by the U.S. government to permanently rid their new land of the Indians who had lived their own lives peacefully for many years. There are many strong and chilling reasons and causes as to why the settlers started all of this perplexity in the first place. There was also a very strong and threatening impact

The opening scene of Blade Runner and the scene of L.A. are both shot very well. The opening scene settles the viewer into the film by creating the mood and theme of a dystopian world. The first scene also explains what has happened before the time period that the movie takes place in so the audience knows what is going on. The L.A. scene expands on the first scene’s exposition by using subtle elements to explain what is currently going on in the city. The opening scene and L.A. scene both convey
which has taken place over a century. In order to understand the conflict between these two cultures their collective histories must be taken into consideration. It was a long and hard path for the Jewish population to get a piece of land they can call their own. A land free of religious persecution.

as the "noble redman" at the time. The Native Americans were very helpful to the Europeans and they guided them around what is now America. The Europeans became very curious of this "new land" and they began to settle it. The settlement of America brought conflict and disease to the Native Americans. Conflict over land ownership soon became a problem and there were harmful side effects. Perhaps one of the most harmful side effects was the proverbial slurs and attitudes towards the Native Americans
get when Jim arrives are awe with hints if lonliness. He pulls into town and is being taken to his grandparent's house. He is riding in a wagon and since he is having trouble sleeping and tries to look at the land and sees nothing. This can be seen in the lines: "There was nothing but land: not a country at all but the material out of which countries are made...I had the feeling that the world was left behind, that we had got over the edge of it, and were outside man's jurisdiction. I had never

Some Indian people accepted these traditions because they felt as if they had no where else to turn.

On the view of Native Americans he was looting and plundering their valubles, family members,
Another thing that was an effect of the Great Famine was emigration. Many people moved to different countries, mostly America, to find new land and get away from the horrible famine. Soon the government passed the Poor Law Extension Act of 1847, which was approved to refuse any farmer help with over a quarter acre of land. This Act influenced emigration, increased land clearance, and the structure of rural society slowly decreased.
