WHY?
This website was created for my last senior year English project. We were able to create our own project and explore whatever topic we wanted. After watching Once Upon a Greek Island, Migrants and Tourists from the New York Times and reading The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, I started to wonder why we never heard stories about the struggles of the children of immigrants. In The Namesake, the main character Gogol struggled with his identity because of the mixture of his parents' culture and the American culture. I wanted to interview modern First Generation Americans to discover if they had any struggles they faced while trying to find who they are on the inside with a mixture of cultures hanging over their heads in their social and familial lives.
