It’s estimated that 40% of all current US citizens have an ancestor who passed through Ellis Island in New York Harbor. This fed

eral immigration station was open between 1892 and 1954. Third-class passengers—those who could not afford more expensive tickets to the US—had to pass medical and legal inspections at Ellis Island before being allowed into the country.
Many immigrants at this time came from Russia and eastern Europe, escaping war, drought, famine and religious persecution. Shira and her family left Russia due to violent attacks against the Jews known as pogroms.

The Statue of Liberty, located on Ellis Island, would have been the first sign of arrival for Shira and many immigrants like her. In 1903, Emma Lazarus’s poem “The New Colossus” was engraved on a bronze plaque at the base of Lady Liberty. The poem ends with these famous lines:

...Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

The poem engraved on the Statue of Liberty is best described as expressing
A. a welcome to immigrants.
B. a threat to foreign governments.
C. something meaningless but beautiful.
D. greed and selfishness.

This reflects personal fable. This is an acceptance apprehended by many youths telling them that they are different and exceptional, so much so that nothing of life's problems or difficulties will touch them notwithstanding of their behavior. This in turn can make them feel protected.

why is voting an essential component to democracy as it relates to power, oppression, and civil rights.
Maru [420]
Voting is an essential power because we as the people decide on who we want as our government. A random person who gets elected if there was no voting could have bad intentions. Its a right we have also its a 9th amendment

What more did you learn about mccandless's relationship with his father? do you think his anger is justified? why or why not?
kap26 [50]

Cristopher Mc Candless had a chaotic childhood,marked by a stormy relation between his parents,with a physically and mentally abusive condition,due to frequent differences throughout his parent´s marriage. He lived in a violent home,where his father beat  and disparaged his mother, a dark reality that Christopher and his sister were forced to conceal.  

His anger might be justified considering the repressed feelings during his childhood and adolescence but the final decision was somehow disproportioned and solved nothing.
