Therefore, to make sense of who I am and to “think [myself] away from the familiar routines of everyday life” (Mills) it requires that I trace my parents’ separate journeys culminating in their calling Vancouver, Canada home. Like a stone skipping across a pond, my grandfather made the journey from Ireland to upstate New York and, a generation later, his son to Vancouver, BC. When questioned on the subject of his…

In Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck shows how the American Dream doesn’t always work out through the story of migrant workers in California during the 1930s…

The travel across the Atlantic has been described as torturous, and many of the servants who agreed to come did not get to live to see the New World.
