Murphy shows us how this has affected the emigrants in the story “Across America on an Emigrant Train.”…

They also have many stereotypes against them such as lazy, machismos, drunks and many more.

Mexicans were left no choice but to cross illegally to seek a better life, because of the cost and many obstacles it made it difficult to become a citizen. Often they were forced to work physically demanding jobs for less pay due to non-citizens or lack of options, or because they wanted badly to be part of the U.S and saw themselves to be best off here even if wages were cheaper than back at home.…

According to Document 1, children began working at ages as young as ten where they would work sixteen hour shifts with one slight break around lunchtime. To keep the exhausted children awake, they were frequently hit with straps.…

    In the book The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer includes a varied group of people that go on the journey to Canterbury. He includes, in Nevill Coghill’s words, “a concise portrait of an entire nation, high and low, old and young, learned and ignorant, rogue and righteous. . .” Many of the characters in Chaucer’s book can be described exactly by these words, as there are many different personalities, ages, and classes on the journey to Canterbury. To begin, an example of a nation of high and low class would be the Doctor compared to the Plowman. In the book, the doctor is described as being intelligent, as “no one alive could talk as well as he did” (Chaucer 155).…
