There is no excuse
I didn't want to make it seem like he didn't have a choice and he had to stay in that group because he really didn't have to ;he just chose to. I mean, it wasn't easy for him to just leave but he wasn't being oppressed.

Charlottesvill
I used an article published in USA Today centered around Ken Parker, a reformed neo-nazi. He talks about his own personal experiences, and one of them was based on Charlottesville as well. This is why I chose to incorporate this little segment in because, along with watching himself in interviews and other events, this is what truly inspired him to change.

confirmation bias,
According to Raymond S. Nickerson, "People often form an opinion early in the process and then evaluate subsequently acquired information in a way that is partial to that opinion." The article explains that this concept is called confirmation bias, which is what I chose my character to go through here. He just wants to get whatever information that will support his belief, and he will disregard all other information (even if it may be credible and logical).

It basically just fell into my lap-for me to truly honor my brother, I had to hate the religion of Islam entirely.
According to Khan, Benda, and Stagnaro, "Stereotypes are seen as a heuristic that allows us to simplify our world and form quick judgments about other people based upon their group membership. " Here, I pointed out that my character had just dealt with an extremely tragic event. And in order to simplify his extremely complicated world, he decided that all Muslims were evil because a few people who claimed to belong of that same religion. This was an example of stereotyping.

. Once again, this is NOT meant to be any type of excuse or justification
I wanted to make sure right off the bat that people know I'm not in any way trying to get people to excuse or even sympathize with neo-nazis and other extremist/hate groups. I am simply trying to see why some got the way they did, and how they got back at it.

tion. It is more an explanation of my mentality when I was somebody who I wish I wasn't.
I wanted to make sure right off the bat that people know I'm not in any way trying to get people to excuse or even symparthize with neo-nazis and other extremist/hate groups. I am simply trying to see why some got the way they did, and how they got back at it.

. Overall, Imelda is a strong individual, who has been working hard to provide for her family and like anyone else she had some tough situations that she encountered but got past them as well and now she is better and stronger individual. She always looks out for everyone and sees the positive in every situation even when its negative.
aww i am so glad
-
Raising her kids alone was one of the hardest challenges she has faced, but now she has an nineteen year old daughter who helps her out.
awww i am so glad

she will never be able to see her family in the United States again.

. Then, they asked her to step off the bus, and began asking her questions. “I remember being so scared, hands sweaty and my body shaking. I didn't know what was going to happen. Where they going to let me go, arrest me, I began to have all these negative thoughts in my head”. Immigration asked her who she was, where she was going, and questions about her family. After a long thirty minutes, they decided to let her go. Immigration does that to make sure they are not going back illegally and to check if they are who they say they are. Imelda felt as if they were picking on her because of the fact she was the youngest on the bus. Immigration tends to be unfair some of the time, especially when they are trying to get something from it.
this is so scary :( i don't know if you meant ICE or not but they can be extremely unfair, especially to people who are from certain countries, which isn't cool :(((
