Which quotation from the poem "Ellis Island" supports the theme "Immigration to America did not answer everyone’s dreams”? waiti
ng for those who’d worked / a thousand years / yet never owned their own. I too come to this island, / nine decades the answerer / of dreams. my grandparents / waited the long days of quarantine, / after leaving the sickness, Lands invaded / when the earth became owned.
Immigrants leave their countries dreaming of better living conditions in a foreign country and this dream is not always fulfilled, it is no different in America. Often immigrants need to go through more difficulties than they expected which generates sadness, frustration and disappointment.
