1ESSAY ON COMPARISON OF TWO IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCES
This essay intends to compare two articles based on different immigrant experiences
in Canada. In order to prepare the comparison two readings will be considered written by
Rosie DiManno and Shree Paradkar respectively. This essay will be the written account
regarding average lifestyle of an immigrant in Canada by finding similarities and differences
between these two articles.
Rosie, DiManno has argued that Canada as a nation is not mature when it comes to
deal with immigrants. Although it has a positive reputation of being the first ideal model of
multiculturalism and diversity, the nation needs more of the world instances in order to be
more liberal towards them. The nation possesses rigid prejudices against the non-English
speakers and experience a hard time to communicate and take part into the Canadian culture.
Being an Italian, because of the society structure and their mentality, at a certain point of life
the author would prefer to avoid things and practices with Italianise hint.
On the other hand, Shree was a proud Indian, a rebel feminist who had lead several
movement and questioned the society law in post-colonial India. When she came to Canada,
it was a refreshing experience for her at least during the initial days. As a women she felt
more independent as she was in her dreams in India. Society norms were not similar for
women back then in India and Shree felt the tranquillity, as there were no one to judge or
instruct her in a foreign land. However, she realized the challenge is different here as she
confronted with several racist comments from even a sales clerk. She has highlighted the
practice of looking down upon people because of their background or skin colour as highly
vicious and historic shame. Although, as a woman she realised life is much easier as
compared to India because of the liberal social values yet both the articles possess same
opinion about the backward mentality of Canadian people regarding looking down upon
immigrant people. This clearly states the suppressed grief of indigenous population across
Canada.
