What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.
United States has alot of freedom. The have to leave their culture behind, but they still get more freedom in the U.S
Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?
I would move to an island. Maybe the Bahamas.

with your answer to the first question i see your point and i agree with it. On the second however i think you could have supported your answer better. you could have done that by mentioning why you said that. other than that it was good.
Ok. You have a start, but you need more explanation and details. I would like to move to the Bahamas, too, but why would you?

The Life of a Slave Girl
My Comments:
- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document?
There was a lot of slavery going on at the time. It was really hard for people. They would have to watch their family get auctioned of as slaves.
- What surprised you the most about what you read?
The little girl liked her mistress. She was sad when she died. Most slaves are happy when their owners are gone.
- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.
Today people in America have freedom. They don’t have to worry about losing their family, or being auctioned off. It’s a free country. Back then slaves were known as property.
