Blog Assignment #16: WWII Letters

1. My character is an Italian immigrant in New York. Over 4,000,000 Italians immigrated to the U.S.A., yet I know almost nothing about it. It will be interesting to write from the perspective of an Italian immigrant.

2. http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Ha-La/Italian-Americans.html http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAEitaly.htm

3. The tone will be somewhat negative, as Italians were mistreated in America quite a bit. My character will be writing to his family in Italy, who is trying to decide if they should follow in his footsteps. Included in the letter will be the fact that most Italian-Americans are fighting in support of America against Mussolini.
