My Commonplace essay will be similar to my analytical research paper. It will focus on the social exclusion of immigrants in America, using examples from Outcasts United and the secondary sources from my paper. I will discuss the ways in which immigrants are unfairly treated and why they are often stuck in the working class because they don't speak good English and are unfamiliar with American customs. The essay will persuade readers that diversity is a good thing, and people should be more accepting of immigrants and help them assimilate into American society. America is supposed to be a melting pot of different cultures, so people of every culture should have an equal chance to succeed. The hardest part of this essay will be making it compelling, immigration is not the most interesting topic for many readers, so I will have to be creative in making it interesting.
