The push factors for leaving America included overcrowded ships, uncomfortable medical exams, and nerve-racking encounters with officials. On the other hand, the pull factors for coming to America included reuniting with family, exploring American life, and understanding why many people move there. Once in America, immigrants experienced a mix of excitement and challenges, such as enjoying entertainment but feeling crowded and encountering discrimination. These experiences likely shaped their perceptions of what it means to be "American", highlighting both the opportunities and struggles that come with living in a diverse and dynamic country.
