The fact is I am heart-sick, fretting. I cannot sleep the night and if I chance to sleep I wake with the most frightful dreams. To think it’s now going and gone into the third month since ye wrote me. I feel as if I’m dead to the world. I’ve left the place I was employed. They failed in business. I was out of place all summer and the 🤬 knows how long. This is a world of troubles. I would battle with the world and would never feel dissatisfied if I would hear often from ye. And know candidly things are going on but what to think of how ye are forgetting me. I know if I don’t hear from ye prior to the arrival of this letter at Ballylarkin I will be almost dead… I sometimes think you would come here and that health would fail and like almost all the Irish, drop off one by one. There is no place like home if one could at all live there but if not don’t hesitate about coming here. I trust ye are well and that my frightful dreams won’t be realized.

There were very many coming at once and made it very packed, showing the influence of America, its economy and much more.]]> 2019-10-25 15:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402631311 cbjohnson0809 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402634511 This letter is from a women that immigrated to the United States.  She is struggling with work and surviving.  She still thinks its worth it for her family to come to the USA. ]]> 2019-10-25 15:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402634511 mawatts_jackson0612 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402634522 This letter is from an immigrant who has left some family members at home in Ireland. The decision to leave probably hurts, but it is very important to the person's life and future as she was persuaded by pull factors in the U.S.]]> 2019-10-25 15:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402634522 cbjohnson0809 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402638547 The push factor for this picture would be the effects of the famine still being felt. People were still unable to find sufficient food for an affordable price. The famine made many Irish flee Ireland to America.]]> 2019-10-25 15:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402638547 cbjohnson0809 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402639123 The pull factor in this illustration is the family of the immigrants. Many Irish immigrants came to America to reunite with their family. These people wanted to live in thriving nation with their loved ones.]]> 2019-10-25 15:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402639123 cbjohnson0809 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402639591 The pull factor for this letter would be the amount of job openings. In Ireland many were poor and starving. They saw America as a place of chance and wealth. This led many Irish immigrants to come to America. It was a chance for them to get money.]]> 2019-10-25 15:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402639591 mawatts_jackson0612 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402968600 Sending this type of note to a loved one that lives lots of miles away can serve as a type of pull factor. It's persuading someone to want to come live where the sender is, and that can make the receiver check out the place or location (U.S.) and think about if they would want to stay.]]> 2019-10-27 04:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402968600 mawatts_jackson0612 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402968710 The fact that so many people are going to America and think that that is the place to be. So this is also a pull factor because it is catching the eye of residents that live in other areas of the world, in this case Ireland. This could also mean a push factor is pushing the Irish out of their country because of how many at once were coming to America, such as less rights, less economy etc.]]> 2019-10-27 04:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402968710 mawatts_jackson0612 https://padlet.com/cbjohnson0809/ou2yxdms5rut/wish/402968853 This shows how large groups are coming to America , meaning it could be families. Which means that this can be a pull factor because who would want to stay in a country while their family is going overseas. This, in a way, could also be a push factor because it is very hard to live without family support going through your life.
