The loneliness of the immigrant experience- Eilis’ initial experience

We experienced many different things as we grow up. It is not the absolute thing that we have to face it in these days but many people come out from the familiar environments where they used to live and experience new things in new places through that we can experience , inspire and learn the new technologies, cultures, and traditions from the other people also we can improve our growth of inner side too. Moving out from the familiar environments aren’t very easy it takes a lot of time to adapt the new environment. It would be scary and nervous experiences but after be comfortable where we are it would be fun and enjoyable experiences.

In 1950, where Eilis lived in Ireland wasn’t good for the young people to explore their dreams because there are not many things people can inspire, share, and learn from each other’s. Eilis also knew where she lived in Ireland would be really hard to plan and explore what she wants and wants to be in the future so she decided to move to the United States with full of love from her family and her dream. Wherever we go, unfamiliar environments or places give us nervous and tension. There was no exception to Eilis.  She headed to the United States with nervous feeling.  It was her first time to ride the ship for long time so she didn’t know what she have to do or not so she had many difficulties in the ship while heading to the United States such as seasick.

Through hard times in the ship she eventually made it. Brooklyn’s life wasn’t let Eilis be in the comfortable situation. Eilis experienced totally different things in the United States. Eilis’s roommates were kept on eyes on her so she had uncomfortable dinner most of the days. She had low confidence of herself when she just got to the United States because she didn’t know anyone and wonder she can do well in the United States so it was hard to enjoy her work. On the new country it’s not quite easy to give up the house and job on free will. Eilis had to earn money for maintenance of livelihood and she needed the house where she can rest, eat and sleep that’s why her heart was set on just do what she have to do and adapt the new surrounding even though she felt lonely, hard and nervous of most of the things.
