Overview of archive material

From some documents of archive,I chose an oral interview with Mr.Tony Avena,a long time Queens resident and Queens merchant and businessman. Interviewer asked the family background and origins and the beginnings of working life in America of interviewee's father. His father was an Italian emigrant and first went into business in Manhattan.Interviewer tried to figure out as an immigrant how to survive and success the businesses and raise his children in New York. As an immigrant, I am interested that oral interview because I came to America at 1998. So we could see and compare what were the differences of economy,education and transportation.On that time, people could do everything. It seemed finding a job was more easy.Interviewee' father worked hard and finally owned stores. If you worked hard,you could have everything. Interviewee liked his school. I thought public and private school was not much different at that time.Therefore, we can conclude that the possibilities are there, they exit, they are difficult to achieve, but not impossible.
