One thought on “Perusall:”
1.( My parents are food vendors, and I accompany them to work in the summer and during school breaks.): this part is kind of similar with mine because me also i do help my aunt to sell during the days that i am not going to school
2. ( Hearing those words makes my heart ache and angers me because my parents work hard—day and night—to give me a better life than they ever had. ): the author is trying to explain how hard it was for them to live in a foreign country
3. (Let us create a country where there is less hate): meaning a country where everyone is welcome, even foreigners.
4. ( Native-born Americans should know more about the full story of our immigrant experience): if they knew, perhaps they would have been more respectful and tolerant towards immigrants.
5.(But thanks to the ruling on that case, public education can no longer be denied to any person based on their immigration status.) In other words, because of the decision in that case, no one can now be denied access to public education because of their immigrant status.
6. summary of the 5th paragraph ( my parents …. country): The narrator’s parents work hard to provide a better life for the narrator, but they are often subjected to rude insults. The narrator and their parents continue on with their work, smiling at the people who insult them.
7. They come here starting from scratch in search of job security or education that will help get them on their feet.) In other words, in pursuit of a stable job or an education that will put them on their feet, they come here from nothing.
8. (Similarly, a case called Plyler v. Doe (1982) aimed to create more challenges for immigrants by allowing states to deny public education to students based on their immigration status.) in other words, similar to this, Plyler v. Doe (1982) allowed states to prohibit kids from receiving public education based on their immigration status, which was aimed to make things more difficult for immigrants.
9. (Little by little, we can fight for immigrant rights, and show the world that immigrants just want to be treated like humans.) in other words,We can make progress in the fight for immigrant rights and demonstrate to the rest of the world that immigrants simply want to be treated like regular people.
10. Know that we are not different because of where we come from, but rather, we all seek a better life and equal opportunities that lead to happiness and peace, meaning that native Americans need to realize that we are not different because of where we came from, but rather that we all want a better life and equal possibilities that lead to happiness and peace.
