Essay00114.text "Going into Exile" The story "Going into Exile" {is/0}{0/,} written by Liam O' Flaherty {0/,} is about a small family. I think opening one door while closing another means that Michael and Mary are opening a new door to {a/the} New World OR {a new world}, which is {0/the} United States, and at the same time they are closing the door {from/to} Ireland. I {0/am}going to write about the risks and hopes that they have to take when they go to {0/the} United States. Both parents and children {are/0} miss each other. Michael and Mary think that they can make a lot of money when they go to the United States {0/,} but I think they are wrong. For example, when I {move/moved} from India to here{0/,} I thought I could make money easily {0/,} but I found that I was wrong. If {you/one OR someone}{go/goes} to any country, it does not matter if it is a poor country or rich country, {you/one} still {have/has} to work hard to make money. {0/The} {First/first} of the {risk/risks OR The first risk} that they have to take is that Michael and Mary {thinks/think} that they can get {a/0} nice {job/jobs OR a good job}when they get to Boston {0/,} but{,/0} they could be wrong{0/.} {because/0} {one/One} reason is that they {don't/do not} have enough education to get {a/0} nice {job/jobs OR a good job}.

I think it is better to get {0/an} education first {0/and}then go to the United States. {0/The} {Second/second} risk that they have to take is that they have to change a lot of different {ways/?}. They have to change their {culture/cultural} style and dress style because {0/the} United States is {a/0} [totally/completely] different from Ireland.

[So/Therefore], I think Michael and Mary should live with their parents and try to get {0/a} better education and then go {0/to} the United States. Finally, I wanted to say that these are the risks that they have to take if they go to the United States. [So/Therefore], I think it is better not to go to the United States right now because they are {children/teenagers} and if {you/one} {think/thinks} {anyway/about it}, {you/one} cannot find a good reason why they should go to Boston {0/,} so{,/0} I think it is better {0/for them} not to go. Essay00124.text GOING {TO/INTO} EXILE For a long time many immigrants {come/have been coming} to the United States to look for success and happiness. {People/These people} make choices that involve opening one door while closing another.

They {don't/do not} have any special skills besides farming work and also they are not {use/used} to different types of work such as factory work. This could be a huge risk for them. Furthermore, {some of the risks that/0} they might be {fear/afraid} of the society because in {the/0} America {0/,} everybody's lifestyle is unique {such as culture and lifestyle/?}. Also, both of them might be afraid of adapting {0/ to the}American culture and {forget/forgetting} their own culture. In addition, Mary and Michael might be afraid {not to see/of not seeing} their family again. Another {risks/risk} could be {about/0} the atmosphere that they are going to live in.

Mary is hoping to have {0/a} better social {atmosphere/environment}. She longs for {the/0} real friendship and true love. On the other hand, Michael just wants to work. He is thinking about what he is going to do after he earns money. It is never easy for a person to leave their country and to go to another. Coming to America can be a very risky step for foreigners. Even though they will learn a lot and gain experience, the beginning is always a struggle. These are the things Mary and Michael will go through, as will a lot of people new to America. [But/However] {0/,}it {doesn't/does not} take long for one to fit in{,/0} in America, for America is supposedly called "the melting pot" of the world. Essay00134.text Essay Exam Topic: Look closely at the {Feeney's/Feeneys} as a family and their relationship to their land and country. Discuss the risk they are taking and the hopes that are involved in the choices they have made. Do you know how hard it is to leave your country{,/0} and {love/loved} ones behind and {0/know that you}may never come back again? Have you ever felt the fear of moving to a foreign country? Both Mary and Michael in Liam {O'Flaherty/O'Flaherty's} "Going into Exile" left their country and {love/loved} ones {Behind/behind}{,/0} and felt the fear of moving to a foreign country. {0/When} {Moving/moving} to a foreign country{,/?} one must think twice before making this {Decision/decision}{./,} {Especially/especially} if the person is leaving {love/loved} ones behind. The person who is leaving must take all the precautions when making his or her decision. He or she must also think of alternatives in case the journey {was/is} not successful. Therefore, there are many risks and hopes involved in the choices when a major move to another city or a OR{a/0} country is made. {From/In} the story "Going into Exile{0/,}" Mary and Michael faced major risks when they decided to move to the United States. This may bring to them a sense of finality and loss. Michael and {Marry/Mary} may never come back to their homeland and {love/loved} ones. The situation was so difficult that the writer compared their exit to a funeral. This {lead/leads} us to another risk that the Feeney's children were facing. The Feeney's children may {loose/lose} their relationship with their family and friends{,/0} and {0/,}as told in the story{0/,} the mother and the youngest brother were sick. Both may die without Michael and Mary {have/having} the chance {of/to} {seeing/see} them again. This is also felt by some of the people who came to say goodbye to the Feeney's children. Some of them were happy and others were sad about Michael and Mary {departing to/leaving for} the United States. In this story {0/,} Mr. and Mrs. Feeney sacrificed the loss of their children and the {risks/risk} that Michael and Mary {may/might} never succeed. There was {a/the} risk that Michael {may/might} never find a decent job and be able to help his family back home{./and} Mary {may/might} never find a good man to marry and {settle her life with/settle down with}. It is understood from the story that Michael had a closer relationship than his sister Mary to his country and family{,/0} because he was taking the {risks/risk} of going to the United States to find a job and help his family. Mary is taking this risk and all {what/that} she was concerned about {is/was} herself. As told in the story "Going {to/into} Exile" {0/(}page 10 paragraph 16 {0/)} {0/,}"Unlike her brother she did not think of the work she was going to do or the money she was going to earn." On the other hand, the major hopes of moving to another city or {a/0} country may be thought of as opening a door to adventure and excitement. Michael's hopes to find a good job all depend on his great strength and {lusting/lust} for {0/an} adventurous life. He also hopes to make enough money in the first four months of {0/his}arrival {to/in} the United States so he can help his family back home as was told in the story on page {9/nine} paragraph {7/seven}{0/,} "I should have all that money paid off in four months, and then I'll have some more money to send you by Christmas." Mary may marry a rich man {and get married/0} and live the happy life she always dreamed of. As mentioned in the story {0/(}page 10 paragraph 16{0/)} {0/,} "Thoughts of love and foreign men and of clothes ...{etc./?}, she was fond of life and several young men among the local gentry had admired her in the Inverara." Finally, Michael and Mary may never {loose/lose} their relationship with their family and friends. They may keep in contact with them and may provide them with better opportunities in the future. Michael and {Marry/Mary} will probably have {0/a better future OR better futures} and opportunities in the United States. In conclusion, one has to sacrifice {their/the} love {to/for} [their/his or her] family and friends in hopes to have {a better future OR better futures} and {opportunity/opportunities}. That was the first step {in which/that} Michael and Mary took in this story{0/,} hoping {to have/of having} {a/0} better {life/lives} and {future/futures} for {them/themselves} and their family. Essay00144 I believe that Mary and Michael are taking some painful and lonely risks. Also, some wonderful hopes {that/0} are involved in the choices they have made. First of all, they are taking the risks of abandoning their family, friends, and their homeland. Also, {they're/they are} taking the risk of hurting their family's {and/0} feelings. The reason I say that they are taking the risk of hurting their {parent's/parents'} feelings is because both of them saw the pain of them leaving in {to/0} their father's eyes {at/on} the night of the party. For example, " Mary happened to look up and she caught her father's eyes as he stood silently by the window.... His eyes rested on hers for a moment and then he dropped them without smiling, and with his lips compressed he walked down into the kitchen{./0}" (p.10). Also, they saw their mom crying {0/,} " My children, oh, my children, far over the sea you will be carried from me, your mother{./0}" (p.14). As the mother was saying that{0/,} both Michael and Mary could see how she was hurting because of them leaving. Secondly, {their/they had} hopes OR {0/are} of working hard to become rich and then {go/going} back to their homeland to take care of their family. Also {0/,} {Michael's/Michael}{0/had} hopes of paying his debts {,/0} and {give/giving} his dad back the money for the party{./0} {Which/which} gives him a feeling of strength and made him optimistic about his voyage. The reason is that he believed that he was going to do all those things with no difficulties. Also, unlike his sister he {didn't/did not} think that he was going to have any problems once he got to the United States. In conclusion, I can say that the biggest risk the young adults took was leaving the most important thing in life behind without knowing if they would see it again one day. I think family is the most important thing in life because {your/one's} family is like {your/a person's} life. {Which/This} means that {you/one} cannot live without it, but sometimes {you/a person} {don't/does not} have any choice {than/but} to move away from it. {It's/It is} just life, like a singer said, " life is like a boat navigating {0/,} you don't know where it's going." {Which/This} means that sometimes{,/0} the circumstances in life make {you/a person} do things that {you/he or she} {don't/does not} want to do{./,} {But/but}{,/0} {you/one} just {have/has} to decide {what's/what is} best for {you/him or her}. Essay00154 ESL IV "Going into Exile" Life does not always work out the way we want it to be. We have to give up so many things{,/0} so that we can {reach/fulfill} our dreams. "Going into Exile" is an outstanding short story written by Liam O'Flaherty. This story is about two adults, Michael and Mary, whose {emigrations/emigration} {brings/bring} many risks and hopes to their family. Their emigration brings two possibilities to the family, which{,/0} are the opening and the closing {0/of} doors. Opening a door and closing a door are involved in the choices that everyone makes. It generally means that in order to gain something, we have to {loose/lose} something. Choices involve both risks and hopes. In this story, the Feeneys are dealing with the same situation. One of the possibilities of Michael and Mary's emigration {was/is} the closing door, which {involved/involves} risks. {0/The} {Feenys/Feeneys} are aware of {aware/0} {of/0} the risks they are taking. Their family will collapse because they will never see each other ever again. The parents, Mr. {&/and} Mrs. Feeney, are afraid to let Michael and Mary go{,/0} because they are scared that their children might change. They might forget their family, country{,/and} religion{,/.} {and country/0}{./0} I think the parents have to suffer the most pain{,/0} because after raising their children {0/,}they have to let them go. I put myself in their position and I felt how hard it is to let someone go whom {you/I} love the most. Another possibility of Michael and Mary's emigration was {the opening door/?}, which involved hopes. At one point in the story Mrs. Feeney said, "What will be must be, and sure there is hope from the sea, but there is no hope from {0/the}grave." I think she is saying that no matter what happens {0/,}her children have to emigrate. She thinks she might see her children as long as they are alive. The Feeneys have hopes of seeing each other even though the chances are they will not. Another hope is that Michael and Mary will help their family financially. In addition, they will have more opportunities and benefits. For example, they will have better {education/educations OR a better education} and better living conditions. Even though Michael and Mary are going away from their family, I do not think they will forget them. They have memories of their family{,/0} which will keep their family close to their {heart/hearts} even though they are thousands of miles away from each other. When Michael was leaving the cabin before going to Kilmurrage, he picked up a piece of loose whitewash and put it in his pocket. This shows that he took memories with him and he will not forget his family. {Through out/Throughout} the story, I like Michael and Mary the most. They are giving up everything for their family. In conclusion, I think the story has many sorrows. It brings out the emotions in each reader's mind. The words used in the story are so powerful that the reader actually feels as if he/she is in the story. {0/The} {Emigration/emigration} of Michael and Mary brought many risks and hopes to their family. The Feeneys have to give each other {0/up}so their family can be helped. Just as I said before, life does not always work out the way we want it to be. I think the message of the story is that everyone has to give up something valuable in order to {accomplish/fulfill} his or her dream. Essay00174 In the {Short/short} {Story/story} "Going {Into/into} Exile" by Liam {O'flaherty/O'Flaherty} {./,} {The/the} hopes and risks of the Feeney's two older {kids/children} of opening a door to close another by coming to America may bring a sense of finality to {some to the culture {form/from} their life and starting a new life./?} {Their/The} culture that they learned {form/from} their parents and ancestors may not be similar to the one in the United States. Michael and Mary have to take the risks of coming to the United States and {experience/experiencing} different {kind/kinds} of {peoples/people} and cultures. Michael has to take the risk of coming to the United States and not finding a job. Mary may not find a suitable person for her to marry. They have to take the risks of probably abandoning their country {and/,}never going back, and not {see/seeing} their parents for a long time or not {are/being} able to help them financially. They are even taking the risk of their family forgetting about them or the other way around {it/0}. Michael and {Mary/Mary's} parents knew that all {this/these} {risk/risks} could happen. That explained {that/the} way they were reacting. They were happy {deeps/deep} down inside, but {it/the story} shows {0/that they were}more {of being/0} sad, angry and even a little jealous. The mother was jealous of Mary because she probably did not have the same opportunity {likes/that} {she/her daughter} has. The father was afraid of them forgetting their culture and values. The risks and hopes are similar because by taking the risks, they are hoping that it turns {0/out}for the best and {0/they} have {a/0} great {life/lives}. Not all risks are bad because it depends on how {your/one} {hope/hopes} to accomplish the {risk/goal}. To some people {0/,} {0/by}{to open/opening} a door, they are closing another. It does not work for everyone because {still/0} some people {0/still}follow their {teaching/teachings} and values. They have to be more open to the new environment and the American way of living. When {you/one} {close/closes} a door {0/,} {0/it} is not completely {0/closed} because {you/one}can always go back and {review/?} {your/one's} culture and background. Every risk that {you/one} {take/takes}, if {you/one} {take/takes} it with the hope of succeeding, {You/he or she} will end up {accomplishing/overcoming} all the new challenges that come to {your/his or her} life. Mary and Michael hope to go to the United States and {successful/successfully} accomplish {that/the} {reason/goal} they {0/had when}{0/they} came to this country. They hope to make their family proud {of/by} helping them and going back to their country. They are taking this challenge and risk to be in a new place with people that they do not know and {0/they}hope for the best. In a way {0/,} they think like their parents {0/,} but {0/they}also want what is best for the whole family. Essay00184 Moving from one place to another {0/,} like from one country to another, involves many risks and hopes people take with them to their destination. Those risks and hopes are involved in all the choices people make. A good example of these choices can be found in the story " Going {Into/into} Exile{0/,}"{,/0} which was written by Liam O'Flaherty. This story describes the departure of Mary and {Michel/Michael} Feeney {0/coming} from Ireland to the United Sates. This departure involves hopes and risks they may encounter. Mary and Michael left their homeland, Ireland, in order to look for {a/0} better {life/lives}. They both have the great hopes of becoming rich in order to help their family and support themselves. For {Example/example}, Michael is looking forward to earn enough money to pay his Aunt Mary for the money she lent him in order for him to make the trip to the United {State/States}. I think that the only problem he has is that he has hopes, but he {doesn't/does not} know if there will be a job available for him {0/or}that he will find a job that pays good money. For example, on page{9/nine}, paragraph {8/eight}, it describes how Michael felt {strong/strongly} that with his great strength he would earn a great deal of money. This was a problem because he {didn't/did not} know if he would find {the/a} job. Mary also hoped for the best about her trip. She wanted {0/,}and was {hopping/hoping} {0/,} that she would find a good job. This was a big hope she had, but she {didn't/did not} know if there would be a job for her. A problem she might be also facing would be that she was a woman, and in the United States during that time {0/,} women were treated as if they {didn't/did not} have any rights. Another risk Mary might encounter will be that people might take advantage of her because she was a woman and was so innocent. The Feeney {kids/children} have the risk of becoming homeless because {they6/they} are leaving all they know and are going to the United States, which is an unknown place to them. They both do not know what lies ahead and have the risk of never going back to Ireland, their home. The risk of not coming back to Ireland is not only their risk, but it is also the parent's risk because they might never see their older children again. This kind of situation was {lived/happening} because there {wasn't/was not} enough money for the people to be traveling back and forth. The choices the Feeneys have made will lead the lives of each member of the family in different ways. For example, Michael and Mary will be in an unknown place away from home. The parents will be in their homeland, but their lives will change because two of their children will be thousands of miles away. Even though the two, Michael and Mary, left Ireland with great {and/0} hopes, they {didn't/did not} know the risks their destination will bring. Choices involve risks. Every time someone makes a choice, that person just thinks of the hopes but not of the risks. {The6/They} do not usually think of the past they will leave behind. It is sometimes said that through life {0/,} people make choices of looking toward the future and forgetting the past. All choices involve opening new doors, but usually that means closing others. Those doors {you/one} will be closing represent {your/one's} past.
