Personal Backround Summary: I am summmarizing question number 5 from the white note sheet about my own backround. Question: What was daily life like for the immigrants from the country you are researching? What challenges did they face? What jobs could they find? Summary: They faced many challenges. They had little money, so they had a hard time finding a place to live. The immigrants took any job they could find, even if it was a low-paying, unskilled job. Men worked as laborers and women worked in factories, and sewed. Another obstacle they faced was assimilating to the United States because they had much larger cities than they had before, so they weren't used to it. They used to live in small towns and villiages. The Italians also had to learn to speak their new language, to get on with their new life.
