Oct 15

Question: Explore the primary doc photographs from the Ellis Island website. (You may have to register.) After exploring the photographs, discuss what feelings and experiences immigrants coming to the United States at the turn of the century must have been feeling.

Answer: I think they were probably feeling scared, and nervous because their immigrants trying to come to the United States. In all the photographs they look terrified. Some pictures they look smushed on those boats. They seem like their weak and haven't really breathed fresh air or even gotten a bite to eat. The parents are wishing their kids didn't have to go through this, they seem like they would pray everynight to get to a home where they can have freedom. Like the united states
