An American Dream

     Immigration in the United States in the early 1900's must have been a moment of big emotions. The immigrants had a mix of feelings when they experienced coming to the United States for the first time. Their first feeling would be sadness because they would be leaving their homes back in their country but happiness when coming to experience new opportunities. Many of them sometimes felt a relief when coming into Ellis Island and watching the State of Liberty as their ship went by. Ellis Island was a big thing for the immigrants. It's a beautiful place that is really fancy. They might have even felt like royalty when coming in to the United States. They were very excited and so they dressed very fancy like if they were coming into a new life. Some of them felt anxiety and hunger because the ships were full of many immigrants and the trip to New York was a long way, the food would not last for long in these ships. Many of the immigrants would feel very uncomfortable. With the ships at a full capacity, many of the immigrants would be sick, carry diseases, or even die. They also felt weird and scared because they were submitted into a mental test. They also felt exhausted and lonely with no money to supply their family. The experiences and feelings that the immigrants were very different but also harsh and difficult.
