Example questions:

When did you come to America?
Did you encounter any difficulties?
Is there something special about your journey that you would like to share?
Where did you first live when you arrived to the U.S?

MY NOTE TO WRITER:
This interview can be fictional, but it must sound realistic and not detailed to the point where it is obvious the interview is made up. Be natural. There is not really any instructions on how to convert an interview to paper, but do what works best for you. I have no sources for this paper as it can vary depending on the interviewee's background. Make sure the history used when writing this essay has reputable sources and are major events during immigration to and historically in the U.S. Also, try to keep the date of immigration to the 60's. Thank you very much.
