Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Ellis Island welcomed many new immigrants to the United States.

Explanation:

Ellis Island is an island in the Port of New York and New Jersey at the mouth of the Hudson River. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the port on the island was the arrival point for many of the immigrants who came to the United States. Individuals with chronic illnesses or who showed signs of fatal illness were denied entry and were allowed to return. Many of these immigrants settled during their first years in New York and northern New Jersey. The port was opened January 1, 1892 and closed November 29, 1954. Over the years, 12 million immigrants passed the port, but 2% were not allowed to enter the United States and were sent home.  

The island got its name after a Samuel Ellis, who owned the island in the 1770s. However, it came into state ownership in the early 1800s.

Which excerpt from “The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica” is an example of an allusion? the heady mix of smells from the open bins of
Len [333]

Answer:

Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone’s childhood.

Explanation:

An allusion is the referencing of something without actually explicitly mentioning it. It acts as a means to bring something into the mind without directly mentioning it in detail. It could be used as a means to refer to something that the writer/author wants to bring into mind but not direct referencing.

Judith Cofer Ortiz's "The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica" is an observation that uses vivid imagery and detailed description. It focuses on the issue of an immigrant displacement and the identity crisis, being uprooted from the 'old lie' into the new world of America. An example of an allusion is found in the mention of <em>"Suspiros, Merengues, the stale candy of everyone's childhood"</em> which is a reference to the childhood of the author or anyone displaced, for that matter. It brings back memories of their childhood.  

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
