This story is about the hard lives for immigrants in a foreign country. Gaven, as an immigrant, has had a difficult life even he left Brazil. This shows how the transnational world that we are living in is such cruel: rich people get richer, while people in an inferior position remains poor. Not only are they inferior in terms of conomic power, but also how their digity is also undermined. 

As an immigrant who moved to Toronto for university, I experienced how difficult it is for new immigrants to blend into a new culture. This story is inspired when I had no medicial coverage before I could get my health card.
