A Place To Call Home by Jeremiah Anderson https://padlet.com/j_anders8/9b34ta6oog6v Warm Up - Summary (Group2) en-us 2017-09-19 18:43:31 UTC 2023-04-04 21:56:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Simplehouse.png Lines 100-120 j_anders8 https://padlet.com/j_anders8/9b34ta6oog6v/wish/189059174 Among our focus groups, there was a general sense that America has no better publicist than Hollywood on this  point—although movies and television often broadcast a misleading picture.  “All the movies [are] just great propaganda . . . like it’s a lot of fun and [you have] a lot of money and all that. You don’t think about, like, you have to pay [the] mortgage. You don’t know.”

In most cases, information broadcast about America is misleading.  The section also gives other people's description and opinion about the United States. A woman in Los Angeles states that she had imagined that America was going to lead her into a great life, but in reality, it wasn't what she had expected. This is just like the saying, "What you see is not always what you get."

“When I came here, the first thing I imagined was I want to live la vida loca, the great life. When I recently arrived here,  I wound up in an area that was very bad, in a two-bedroom apartment where 12 people were living. They were sharing their rent, and I said, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’  With time, I wound up renting another apartment. I didn’t imagine it would be like this.”
       —A woman in the Los Angeles focus group
 There’s some suggestion, however, that when it comes to being “comfortable” in communities, other immigrants play a critical role. Compared with results from 2002, more immigrants say that they spend time with people from their
birth country and have closer ties there.
