Immigration waves to the US + West Side Story

Hi guys,

today we worked on commenting the graph that you had from last time.

Here are some sentences we made:

From ... to ... , (population) immigration to the US because (reason).

From 1860 to 1880, the Chinese immigrated to the US because:

                                                                            they were poor.
                                                                            they wanted to have an easier life.
                                                                            they wanted to raise their children.
                                                                            they had hopes and dreams.

From 1880 to 1900, the Eastern Europeans immigrated to the US because:
                                                                            they had hopes and dreams.
                                                                            they wanted political and religious freedom.

Finally, we started to study a scene from the muscial "West Side Story".

Here is what you said:

The document is a musical. The boys and the girls don't agree. In the video, they are fighting about immigration.
The boys are disappointed in America.
