Alaisari 1 Warda Alaisari Ms. Groves FYS March 2021 Carlos Bulosan Introduction Carlos Bulosan is acknowledged and sits at the center stage among the prominent writers and poets in the United States' history. His work of poetry, essay and stories are still celebrated in the Philippines. Being an immigrant in the United States will be going through a lot of hardship in the workplace and racial discrimination. Despite the hardships, he still pursued his dream of becoming a writer, which was achieved in the 1940s.
His most outstanding achievement is the publication of the book "American by blood". In 1936 he was diagnosed with tuberculosis of which resulted in his death several years later, (Alquizola & Hirabayashi, 2012). Early life The exact date of Bulosan is not yet confirmed since there have been different arguments over the actual date and place of his birth. However, it is known that he was born in 1911. He later immigrated to the united states in 1930 from his native Philippine in search of better jobs and education as other emigrants do.
On his arrival in the United States, Bulosan did not find what he anticipated but rather the worst economic depression in the history of the U.S. Adult life There is nothing much about his education life since he only completed three years of schooling. He moved to America to dream of better education and wealth and the dream of Kristina Groves Citation? Proofreading? Kristina Groves Your thesis statement is that he died?

Together with his two elder brothers, he purchased a steerage ticket which cost him 75 dollars. On 22 July 1930, he arrived in America while still a teenager.
In his semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical novel, the American in the Heart, Bulosan described his life story growing up in a humble family and a poor area of the Philippines. These poor economic and social conditions were created by American and Spanish colonialism. In his work, he describes the push factor that drove his generation to the United States. Like Bulosan, his generation hoped for a bright future, not putting bin mind the rigid and adaptive community in the hostile and exploitative European American culture in the United States. Being an immigrant in 1930, the other immigrants work in migratory labour jobs and labour organizations.
He worked in labour organizations with fellow Philippine immigrants during this period; Bulosan shared the typical experience with the fellow Filipino immigrants who are termed as the first-generation immigrants, Most of whom are working in agricultural sectors, doing domestic jobs, migratory labour circuit, and cannery labour all across Alaska, Oregon, Washington and California. Over the period, he built his connection with fellow immigrants and developed the concepts he used in his writings. The story of his struggles during the 1930s and early 1940s Recorded in the autobiographical American in the Heart (1946) had a significant impact on ethics writing after being republished by the University of Worthington press in 1973.
Bulosan has written many books in his life but American in the Heart. Bulosan's life story is a puzzle by itself for many reasons. First, his most excellent literature work is termed as a mix between fiction and fact. Some scholars argue about the date of his birth, the place of his birth, the date of his death and the place where he died. What is expected by all scholars is that he was born in the village of Kristina Groves Missing citations.
Alaisari 3 Mangusmana near Binalonan on the island of Luzon in the Philippine. He had other siblings. His case was similar to other families since his family was suffering economic hardship due to United States colonization. Bulosan’s literature work In his life, Bulosan was lazy in retaining the copies of his works of literature and poetry. He had no specific residence; hence he was mainly sleeping in his friend's apartments and hotels, especially in his latter days; therefore, he didn't have a particular place to store his work.
Most of his poetry work is found in the letters and emails to his friends and associates. Most of his works were sent to friends for safekeeping or forwarded to the publishers. They were not returned to the owner. It was only after his death that a group of his friends formed a manuscript committee with the main aim of hunting his work. This was done by placing an appeal to local newspaper and union circulars.
They also wrote to his former publishers to [provide the literature and poetry work of Bulosan. After collecting the papers by the manuscript committee, the pieces made their way to the University of Washington Libraries for a particular collection. These papers are preserved up to date, (San Juan Jr, & Bulosan, 1995). Achievements Bulosan is considered amongst the first Filipinos who could write in English while in their stay in America as immigrants. Through his writing, he achieved the fame that made him renowned poetry and story writer.
In 1932 only after two years in America as an immigrant, he started his journey as a writer. His first book "Freedom from Want" was published in 1943. This Alaisari 4 publication demonstrated Bulosan faith in American freedom. This ideal was encouraging and troubling throughout his life since the desire to have America with that sense of freedom motivated him, (Joyce, 2016). Seeing the hardship that his fellow Filipinos are going through in America was troubling.
In 1944, he published "The End of War". The publication was made in New York. This publication was later faced with a legal suit of plagiarism. The legal case was later settled in the courts, but it ruined Bulosan’s reputation and publicity. In the same year, Bulosan made another publication, "Laughter of My Father".
This was a collection of stories that divided the New Yorkers since the critics misinterpreted the stories as a humorous work which was a reaction to the legal suit that he had faced. In his novels, he used irony to portray the hardship of life that Filipino immigrants are going through in the United States. In most of his stories, Bulosan tried to avoid speaking of his personal history, (Cabusao, 2016) Analysis of Bulosan’s literature work According to look Magazine, America in the Heart is considered among the 50 most essential books in American Books' history. As stated earlier, the book starts with the narrator's childhood in the Philippines. The book went further to explain his life in West America in search of work.
The book celebrates minor triumphs that the narrator experienced in America. Still, the most significant part of the book was demonstrating the brutality that he and his acquaintances had in racist Americans' hands. For him to eliminate any doubt concerning him as a writer, Bulosan presents the injustice resulting from a cruel and heartless system that generated a clear pathway demonstrating the violence that the narrator had to go through in the racial basis and union empathies. However, some moments of kindness saved the narrator from total anguish and Alaisari 5 prevented him from being outspoken. Some scholars have criticized the books as uneven since this book was written as he was dying.
In the book, the author himself recognized the crappy quality of his literary work, (Evangelista and His Poetry, 1985) Currently, there are positive signs that Bulosan work is being rediscovered, renewed and published vat the same time. The skilled writer had no time to collect and document his career since he had an early death. This rediscovery is done by the new generation of upcoming artists in the Philippines and the Filipinos in the diaspora all across the globe. The latest renewal is the enormous staging of the short story" The Romance of Magno Rubio" written by Bulosan The revival; was directed by Loy Arenas. Some of the beneficiaries of his work are the typewriter and his family.
Illness and Death Bulosan was not always a healthy man since, in 1936, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. In the next several years after the diagnosis, he would spend most of his time in the Los-Angeles General Hospital. During this time, he was undergoing surgeries and recovery. While still in the hospital, he used his time productively. This was discovered after he said that he used to read one book a day.
Some of the books he read were from American classical authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Theodore Dreiser, Walt Whitman and Ernest Hemingway. Despite the challenges that he faces throughout his illness, he never abandoned his dream of becoming a writer. Four years after his diagnosis, he published his first poetry and essay, (Juan, 2008). In 1956, Bulosan died of tuberculosis-complicated pneumonia. During this time, he was around 42-45 years since nobody knew the exact date that the writer was born.
After his death, America and Philippine still celebrate his achievement as one of the world's most skilled writers. Alaisari 6 Other writers appreciate the work of Bulosan years after his death, while some even criticize his works. He left behind a large volume of poems, short stories, plays, novels and correspondences on a variety of related topics. Alaisari 7 References Alquizola, M. C., & Hirabayashi, L.

Alaisari 2 Warda Alaisari Ms. Groves FYS March 2021 Social Support, Stress, and Adaptation in Immigrant Youth The purpose of this proposal project is to write a research paper about social support, stress, and adaptation in Immigrant youth. The proposed research aims to address two main indebtedness concerning the adaptation of immigrant students to the United States school environment, which are the absence of longitudinal information about post-migration adjustment and lack of data about the impact of immigration on students varying age levels (Cory et al.
258). This research focuses on the behavioral, academic and emotional adaptation of immigrant adolescents and children regarding the support offered by the social networks and their levels of post-migration stress. This research will offer an essential window on the original adaptations of immigrant adolescents and children. Various studies have recognized several neglected areas in terms of study, such as a disruption of social network relations, the effect of migration-related stress on families, effects of perceived discrimination and prejudice, and socioeconomic background (Cory et al. 258).
Reviews of literature propose that many immigrant children adjust successfully; however, immigrant adolescents were found to have lower efficacy and more distanced from their peers than non-immigrants (Cory et al. 258). Academically, immigrants’ students aim to outdo non-immigrants student of the same cultural background but the existence of divergence across sociocultural boundaries. Methods One of the methods that will be used in this research will be taking information and statistics from specialized research in this field. Because it is a quantitative research, reports and research will be selected that contain real statistics from migrant children and adolescents.
The length of this research will be about 10 pages, and many academic resources will be used. 6-7 sources will be selected for this research. Procedure Research and reports will be selected on the behavioral, academic and emotional adjustment of adolescents and immigrant children. The most important points and interesting statistics will be taken to be added to the research to make it interesting and to avoid boredom while reading the research paper.

Reflection on Media Consumption
Tracking my media consumption over a 24-hour period has been an eye-opening experience that highlights both the extent of my media interaction and the nuances of my daily life. Altogether, I spent about eight hours engaging with various forms of mass media, which brings to light the role that media plays in my everyday activities and interactions.
One surprise was the substantial amount of time I dedicated to visual media, especially streaming services and television. Three hours watching streaming content may seem substantial, considering it accounts for 37.5% of my total media consumption. While I enjoy these shows for entertainment and relaxation, it made me reflect on how I often allocate my free time towards passive consumption rather than engaging in more active learning or personal development.
Additionally, the experience exposed just how habitually I use social media platforms—30 minutes is quite a significant commitment, especially as these moments are often interspersed throughout the day and can easily extend beyond the recorded period. This raises questions about the nature of my attention on social media. Am I genuinely interested in the content, or is it merely a habitual escape? There’s a growing body of literature indicating that digital media consumption, especially social media, can heighten feelings of anxiety and depression, particularly in adolescents and young adults (Twenge et al., 2018). This knowledge has prompted me to reconsider how much time I spend scrolling through feeds.
In analyzing the role of news media in my life, the combination of radio, podcasts, and news apps (approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes) demonstrates an eagerness to stay informed about current events—an essential aspect of being an engaged citizen. Engaging with high-quality journalism, such as NPR and well-curated podcasts, broadens my understanding of varied perspectives, leading to greater empathy and awareness.
From this tracking activity, I discovered the need for a more balanced media diet. While the consumption of articles and academic material has its benefits, I realized that there are opportunities for more meaningful engagement with my leisure time—like returning to hobbies such as reading physical books or exploring outdoor activities. Therefore, I plan to implement a few changes based on this assessment:
1. Limit Streaming Time: I aim to reduce my streaming hours by one hour each week to allocate more time for reading or personal projects.
2. Set Healthy Boundaries: I plan to implement a "social media detox" on weekends to curb passive consumption and encourage more direct interpersonal connections.
3. Prioritize Educational Content: I want to intentionally select content—especially in podcasts and videos—that enhances learning rather than merely serves as entertainment.
In conclusion, this media diary exercise has illuminated the pervasive nature of mass media in my daily routine and its potential impact on my lifestyle. By reflecting on my typical media diet and aiming for more conscious consumption, I aspire to cultivate a healthier balance that prioritizes my mental well-being and fosters genuine interactions.
