Read the passage from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. . . . The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family’s detention at Ellis Island: We lived there for three days – Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do? My sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and Mother was told, “Well, we can’t let her in.” But fortunately, Mother was an indomitable spirit and finally made them understand that if her child had a few hours’ rest and a little bit to eat she would be all right. In the end we did get through. According the passage, immigrants often arrived at Ellis Island filled with fear. How does the quotation from Angelo Pellegrini develop this topic? It provides a firsthand account from an immigrant who had “a few hours’ rest and a little bit to eat.” It provides a firsthand account from an immigrant who eventually “did get through.” It provides a firsthand account from an immigrant who went through the “rigorous physical examination.” It provides a firsthand account from an immigrant who felt “terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected.”
