From afar beckons:
Goodbye, Ceará!
The next day,
Already all bored,
And the packed car,
Fast and fast,
so sad, poor thing,
speaking homesick

– Of pity and soriety,
Daddy I know I die!
my poor dog
Who feeds?
I've already asked:
– Mommy, and my cat?
Hungry, without treatment,

migration and immigration
emigrant – is the person who leaves his country.
Immigrant – is the person who leaves their country to live in another.
Migrant – is one that changes place, state or region of the same country.
From the 19th century onwards, Japanese, German and Italian immigrants began to come to Brazil. They came to Brazil with the hope of a better future, but most of the time they ended up in need.
Many of them came here with education and with ideas that led them some time later to achieve wealth and possessions. They enriched our culture and helped build our country.
People move for different reasons. Most of them aim to get rid of poverty.
Some move to work or study.
Sometimes companies and entrepreneurs go in search of large lands with better conditions for development and cheaper labor.
