Explanation:

"Ellis Island" is a poem written by Joseph Bruchac. The poem narrates about the immigration of the speaker's relatives through Ellis Island to America. Ellis Island was considered the popular gateway for immigrants. The speaker is speaking about two of his grandparents, one who lives in Native America and the other who were immigrants. The speaker feels happy that his grandparents are immigrating to America but is also sad as these immigrants took the home of Native Americans.

The essay "Thanksgiving: A Native American View" is written by Jacqueline Keeler. The essay narrates what happened when the pilgrims came to America and how Native Americans fed them. It narrates how Native Americans were oppressed by those pilgrims. The writer sheds a light on the Thanksgiving festive when many Native American Tribes were massacred, which is usually an untold story of the Thanksgiving.

So, the difference between both texts is that poem discusses immigration of the nineteenth and twentieth century whereas the essay speaks about the oppression of the Native Americans.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
