that I related to the most would have to be El Norte and Mi Familia/My Family; due to the way they explore the issues of the reality of immigration, difficulty in achieving the American dream, the prevalence of immigrants in U.S. labor market, and cultural identity.

I feel that I can relate to this mainly because my parents…

Vincent’s Portuguese immigrant experience defines the conflicting sense of identity that occurs when she and her brother interacted with Portuguese that had a more difficult time assimilating into Anglophone culture: “My brother and I balked at heritage-language classes and remained passive spectators at the annual religious processions”” (Vincent, year?, p.146). This type of social interaction reveals the divided communities of Toronto, which reveal the dual-identity issues that created some…
