projection 1) Summarize in brief why Mr Ramirez came to Los Angeles and why he has to conk. manifestly complete Mr Ramirez came to Los Angeles in the search for a better job and life. Well job, he had a job during the war at an airplane f turnory making parts, and he kept this job after the war. The priming he had to entrust was because he wasnt completelyowed to stay in that location any wideer, because his on the job(p)(prenominal) visa was no longer valid. He was there six months too long as well, so the police came and picked him up, to calcu recent him back to Mexico. Task2)A There is a famed saying that is nonhing much Ameri jakes than Mom and apple pie.This bases mom except happens to be baking hot a pie. She looks at her pie and comp ares it to Mr Ramirez. What attitude toward Mr Ramirez does this simile encourage? I study our generator ray of light Bradbury valued to show that illegitimate immigrants withal are human beings. radiate wanted to show that these ineligible immigrants mickle suck in a positive exercise on others. I correct think that Mrs OBrien ilks Mr Ramirez to a great extent than righteous a friend I think she likes him even to a greater extent. The commission she said I yet realized, Ill never see Mr Ramirez once again made me think that.She says in a very sad air, like if she broken aboutthing very valuable to her. In all those Ameri muckle characterisations, the moms are very smart for their pies, and they let the pies stand in the window frame, and then just aboutone succeeds and steals it. And now, someone came and took her pie, which is Mr Ramirez. Task 2) B We are given(p) a precise description of what Mr Ramirez likes well-nigh his room, what he spends his money on and what he likes to do in Los Angeles. What do these details reveal to us ab turn up why Mexi dissolves like living in the ground forces? These descriptions start right after presently after Mr Ramirez had arrived.. just like it wasnt possible for him to do before he came. Pleasures that are harder to achieve in countries like Mexico are more easily come-at-able in USA, which is the overthrow where your dreams come true, isnt it? USA makes it easier for good, hard-working population to be something, and make love more greatly. Walked silent streets and seen the bright enclothe in the windows and bought some of them Is one of the things he likes to do. He likes to do it, and he does it, the pattern for success. I guess that in Mexico, these things are harder. Task 2) CMrs OBrien has been to Mexico. What did she notice? wherefore do you think all the electronegative sides of Mexico are in the thoughts of Mrs OBrian and not Mr Ramirez? Mrs OBrian remembers the hot days, the endless crickets bounce and go or lying dead(a) and brittle like the small cigars in the shop windows. She remembers the canals taking river water out to the farms, the dirt roads, and the scorched landscape. She re members the silent towns, the doting beer, and the hot, thick food every day. She remembers the slow, drag horses and the parched jack rabbits on the road.She remembers the entreat Mountains and the dusty valleys and the ocean beaches that spread hundreds of miles with no sound just now the waves no cars, no buildings. I believe that the reason Mrs OBrien think of all the negative sides, and Mr Ramirez doesnt is because he is used to them. These conditions, this land she came crossways during her visit is much more of a shock to her, than to Mr Ramirez. Task 2) D both(prenominal) Mr Ramirez and Mrs OBrian are suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling of loss at his leaving. Why did the writer not just nominate Mr Ramirez being sad roughly never seeing Mrs OBrian again?I think our writer Ray Bradbury wanted to show that illegal immigrants are also human beings. Ray wanted to show that these illegal immigrants can be possessed of a positive influence on others. As well, I think that the totally storey may uttermost in just a couple of minutes, so the author focuses more on detailed description of the characters story and experience to give us readers a bigger picture, if not the text could be meaningless and quite short. Task 3) A Is this a story that tries to draw apprehension for illegal Mexican workers? Does it succeed? I think it tries to create agreement for those who illegitimately memorialize the USA.It does show that Mexican workers feature bad living standards where they come from, so it does create sympathy in some ways. I think its more that they want a diverge considering the rules, because those Mexican workers are people too, and they are plausibly just as good and hard-working as any other American. A story about Mexican workers just stressful to live their life to the fullest by doing unshakable work, and the story confirms this and tries to open up some thoughts surrounding the theme. I think it succeeds at least(prenominal) I bem use sympathy for them, so I guess it works. Task 3) B Can literature looseness of the bowels a major role in bringing about accessible change?Is it as effective as documentary films and television programs, or non-fictional books and articles about social problems? Yes, literature can play a great role, but its various. A great, well know text can make a difference if it rightfully makes an impression, but I do not think its the best way these days to make social problems more known. I believe a word picture is the best way, because it domaines out to more people, and gets greater publicity than books. For example the new movie The Impossible about the Tsunami, gives very toughened impressions because we can see what happens, and we know it happend in real life.Books dont reach out to that many people. Task 6) A * How long is the Mexican-American sidestep in miles and kilometres? The Mexican-American border total length is 1,969 miles or 3,141 km long * The 2006 Secure Fence dissemble says there is spill to be a fence along the border. How long volition the fence be in miles, and in kilometres? The 2006 Secure Fence Act remnant was/is to help and secure Americas borders to decrease the amount of illegal entries, do drugs trafficking and security threats. A 700 miles (1,100 km) fence of somatogenic barriers alongside the Mexico-United States border.Kilde ( http//en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Secure_Fence_Act_of_2006 ) * Approximately how many illegals get across the border every class? Of course, its impossible to give an get build, but the number is somewhere rough 375,000 people every class. About 65% of these illegal immigrants come from Mexico and the other 35% come from Southern America. At least according to (http//www. strategicstudiesinstitute. army. mil/pdffiles/ksil499. pdf) * Use the net income to ferret out out how you could legally participate the USA. Is there any way you could enter the USA to work and live there permanently?Start yo ur search by going to the United States Embassy websites. If you are going to live permanently in the USA, you are going to have to get a green visiting card. This means you have to die a permanent resident. The first way to qualify for a green card is by having close family members who lives in the US. The split second way of getting green card, is manger employment. Your chances for making this work increase the more skilled you are. In most cases you must(prenominal) show that an employer has offered you a job. The employer must also be able to show that no American was available to do the job.The end option for green card, would be done the diversity draft. A program supporting immigration for countries that dont address many immigrants to the U. S. A small number of green cards will be available to people from these countries. All the measure up applicants will enter a lottery and the winners get the green card and gets allowed to h doddering out to USA. https//www. usimmigrationsupport. org/greencard. html * Use the internet to find reliable information about the complete Immigration Reform Act of 2007 or, in its full remark, the Secure Borders, Economic prospect and Immigration Reform Act of 2007.This act with a very long name was a proposition that would allow illegal immigrants to be able living and working legally in the U. S, with something called work countenance card, after paying some fines. Also, it would create temporary work programs, so workers would have to return to their homeland every ii years, and stay there for a year or so before they could come back. But this act got voted vanquish and died in the Senate after failing to get the 60 votes it needed to end debate.

He looks up, but he doesnt move, he just stares at the window, looking at the rainfall. He doesnt really think of anything special, he just observes how the rain splashes on the railings. despite his mix-up of what he should be thinking, he has a bad feeling. He knows that today is the day.He can feel it. They told him it was going to happen this week, but not sure which day. He stands up and puts his pyjamas pants on, the new one that he bought just some days ago. He stretches out like he perpetually does, making this weird noise because hes so sleepy. He stands in front of the window, looking out again. He has always been inspired by the rain it makes him feel comfortable, but not today. straight off it just makes him confused. Why would they want to compact him? A 10 year old boy, who has done no harm towards anyone. flush though it was raining, the sun was rising in distance, hopefully making a rainbow. perchance that would jeer him up. Anyhow, he knows that today is the day to leave this reality. Not just all the things in present time, also the future in this place will go absent for ever. The government has decided to send Noah and his pappa back home, where they once lived, Kurdistan. He can hear his dadaism walking approximately downstairs. Not looking for something, just walking around. Probably confused, just like Noah. It has been 4 days since they said they would show in spite of appearance a week, but this had to be the day. Despite Noahs young age, he was quite aware of what was going on.Noahs dad has told him that the war in his native land isnt critical anymore, even unassailable according to authorities, but Noah knows better. Noah remembers things from when he had to leave the country, he gets flashbacks. He remembers people screaming, and he just stood there crying. He remembers the last time he ever motto his aim and sister, before they were killed by a car-bomb. Noah was only 4 years old at the time, but the memories are stuck in him. He tries to stay positive, but hes afraid. Afraid of leaving this safe(p) place. Afraid of the memories that are printed in his head.Afraid that he and his dad will share the same faith as his sister and mother, losing everything again. Maybe he wont have any place to sleep, anything to eat. He is gladiolus he got his dad, but he misses his mothers comforting words. He doesnt recall much of her, but enough to know that he misses her. Noah fells a agitate down his cheek, just like the ones falling down on his window. Noahs baffle didnt take the loss of his married woman well either, he struggled a lot. Noah remembers how he heard his vex crying late nights, and he remembers when they got the letter which said they had to go back.Noah looks out the window again, he sees people running around, hiding from the rain under their jackets. He remembers one time, long ago, when his mother, father and himself had to run across town because the rain surprisingly showed up. But Noah didnt mind, he loved the rain. He hopes it will rain a lot where he is going, its his only hope at the moment. doorbell. Doorbell again. Every sound makes Noahs nerve beat a little faster. He looks outside again, observing the rain, sliding down synchronized with his tears. They were here, its time.
