    My name is Shamish Murphy. I was born on December 10,1851.I was born in Ireland on a rainy day.I was very short, but stubby. My parents left me with my aunt and uncle when I was 4. I lived with them until I was 18. They raised me well, they were very wealthy. When I was 18 they died on the way over to Ellis Island

    I am on my way to the immagration station. It is in the United States. I am hoping to find a job, and make living. I know the officers think i am sick, but I a sured them I wasn't. They kept me with the sick immagrants for further evaluation. They did something with my eye lids and then stepped back and said your free.

    Now I have a job. The people I work with tell me to find a way back to my own country. They are very rude to me. My boss likes me though. I make good money, I'm meeting new people such as my girlfriend Dana. She is pregnant and I don't know if i can feed him despite my raise.

    Life is getting harder and harder with the baby. I am the only one working. I am being exposed to a lot of racism towards me. I got into a fight at work because the boss gave me another raise. Missed the train that took me close to my house. Had to walk home, was not fun. Some guy chased me i ran in to an alley and he shot me. Not sure how my family will survive.
