Paragrpah 1:
My name is Fievel. I'm not a tourist but an immigrant. I travelled to America by a steamship.
When I arrived to this new country I was welcomed by the Statue of Liberty in New York harbour.
When I came to this new land, I was alone, in rags and I only had a suitcase but I was joyful, happy, optimistic and hopeful.
Paragrah 2:
I came to America because I wanted :
to get a new life
to get free ,
and to get new opportunities.
I came to America to escape poverty and persecutions.
I came to America to experience the American dream.
