This research hypertext is going to be about my mother’s experience as an immigrant to the United States. Obviously the direct connection to me is that she is my mother. I want to express the struggles that she had to go through as a new member of the labor force as an immigrant as well as trying to raise children to the best of her abilities. The main perspective that I want to express is the perspective of a child hearing this story and being raised in this environment. I want to also incorporate the perspective of my mother which will in a way represent the mothers struggling. Though there are many different stories and events that occur for every mother, I plan to best associate it with my mother’s experience with the majority. The web design will have a different page for a different topic. I want to have a page in which I just first talk about her experience as a low wage worker. Then I will have another page as a low wage worker with a child. Things changed after she had her first child. Priorities changed, schedules changed, jobs changed. I then want to add a page in which two immigrant workers met and fell in love , got married and become a family of four. Yet again things change with the fact that there are two working individuals and two children to rise. A page that I want to add that I want to be one of my more emphasized page is when my dad got injured at work, received a limited amount of benefit, leaving my mom to work alone, to take care of 6 people including herself. Another huge part of my webpage is the perspective of the children (my perspective of this whole situation). I want to research and explain the many different outcomes possible for children raised in low wage environments.
