Introduction
I have interviewed my own mom for this assignment, L.M. She was born and raised in Turkey, and as an adult became the first of her family to have legal residency in the United States. She learned English by teaching herself before she came to the United States, where once she arrived, the English language then became used in her daily vocabulary.

The Premonition
My father told me of a fearful dream. He said:
“I dreamt I saw the greatest emigration that has yet been through our country.
I looked North and South and East and West and saw nothing but dust.
And I heard a great weeping.
I saw women crying, and my men shot down by the white people.
Oh, my dear children!
You may think it is only a dream,
But I feel that it will come to pass.”
