After reading the interview, first of all I feel really happy for Marcos that he finally got the asylum after waiting for so long, I know how hectic and long this process can be, I can understand how nervous he was since I went throughout an Immigration process and sure is similar.

Immigrants had to abide by a narrow system and yet it is so broad and unjust when forcing them to adhere to its unfair specifications. The government expects people not to be able to stand up for themselves and are taken aback when they preform unprecedented things such as speaking English.

Your grandmother sounds like an interesting woman! Were you in a rush with the interview? It seems like a lot of the questions, and therefore the answers too, are rushed and abbreviated. It would be nice to learn more. Some of the things you reflect on in the analysis didn’t come up in the interview and would have been good to discuss: like…[Read more]

I love your thoughts on stories! So interesting.
