Answer:
to explain the feelings of worry experienced by an
immigrant family.
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Russell Freedman's book "The Immigrant Kids" which tells the story of late 1800s and early 1900s immigrant families arriving in America. Upon arrival, the kids underwent rigorous examinations in order to prevent them from bringing any contagious disease into the country.
However, this excerpt doesn't deal with description of the physical examination; it rather focuses on the fear and constant anxiety triggered by the possibility of a family member being banned from entering the country.
It strongly depicts that family worries never stopped, not even after reaching American soil.
Answer:
The main message of this passage is that even though we might feel like there is silence, there is always our thoughts that aren't quiet.
Explanation:
When Jack London explains the setting as " the lone and silent land," it shows that there is really nothing that could cause harm to the character. As London goes on in the passage, he begins to describe " the hunting cries..." and how "they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs." This represents the thoughts of everyday people and the fear of the unknown. London then goes on to say " I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone." "They do get on the nerves horrible." These quotes represent the racing thoughts of the two characters, Bill and Henry, and how, even in the silence of the night, their thoughts are still heard loud and clear in their heads about the possible creatures that lurk in the dark.
