Jobs

During the 1890's we can see that the Irish came to the U.S. to have better life but once the got here i was not easy for them o start all over again. The were sent to leave in a tenant where more than ten people lived their. To try to get a job was really tough, because most of the jobs wanted experienced people, who knew what they wee doing so the don' slow down their business. In the movie Far and Away we can see how they had to share a bedroom and they live with other people, even though they did not have a problem finding a place to stay because they got the help from a guy who was running for office.

Native Americans Portraits 

Destroyed homes 

• The Native Americans found it hard to hold their culture practices at their homes. 
• Native Americans were wanted by the whites and they would do anything to take the away.
• One of the leaders Sitting Bull cabin was surrounded by the whites and also was killed in front of their followers.
• After their leader was killed his followers packed their things and moved to the central of Dakota.
• Native Americans were not allowed to practice their culture, beliefs and values.

Sitting Bull

• Sitting Bull was one of the leaders and he preferred to die as an Indian not as a  white settler.
• The white settlers wanted to arrest Sitting Bull so the went to his house and resounded it with soldiers.
• He agreed to go peacefully and than they started to take his clothes and he resisted.

Native American

The two names I picked were Moema (sweet) and Adsila (blossom). I picked Moema because it means  sweet, and I'am an easy person to get along with and I feel like I am a sweet person and I don't really like to be rude to people. One of my favorite quotes is "Treat others the way you want to be treated". You can't expect someone to respect you  if you don't respect them. Adsila means blossom and a deeper meaning to this is that a person likes to inspire other people and give them advice's that could help them through life. I believe this two names go together because you have to be sweet to be able to inspire people. If you are rude to people and than you try to give them advice they won't listen to you.
