For analysis paper 2 I would like to interview Karla (pseudonym). Karla is a 28 year old woman from Europe. She has lived in the United States for over a decade and is now an American Citizen. Karla speaks French fluently and attends gatherings where French people get together once a week in Cambridge, simply to speak French together. Karla also speaks German and attends German events.
Over many conversations with fellow Europeans I have noticed that we arrive in the U.S. with certain expectations. Many of us then go through a similar process trying to understand Americans. I chose to interview Karla because I remember talking about this process with her many years ago.
According to the 2011 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics 1,062,040 people obtained permanent resident status in the fiscal year of 2011. Of the 1,062,040 people 90,712 were from Europe.
OK.
