Introduction
I chose “Why So Many Children of Immigrants Rise to the Top.”
- My audience is the young American youth and the American people
- because immigrants are doing better than the young U.S. American generation; they rise to the top and are more likely to live economically stable lives.
- Diverse immigrant families arrive in the U.S., showcasing their hopes and dreams.
Setting the Context –
- In the article “Why so many children of immigrants rise to the top.”
The author makes his point by discussing the country’s misunderstanding about immigrants.
From the beginning, immigrants have come to the U.S. for better operations, and the country has supported them. The immigrants come to live the American dream.
- As of the 2000s, most immigrants are from America.
The stairs show that over time, children of immigrants overpass poverty.
