Answer: A. the frustration of coming so close to America yet not being allowed to enter and live.

This poem is found on the walls of Angel Island's Detention Barracks. Angel Island was an immigration station that served as the entering point to America from the Pacific. It was referred to as the "Ellis Island of the West." Immigrants were often detained there for days or weeks, while being interrogated before being allowed to enter the country or forced to go back. The poem describes this frustration, of being so close to America, yet not be allowed to enter.

Now, what about joining General Washington's army? Draft a formal cover letter applying for a job in his regiment.
solniwko [45]

Philadelphia, June 18

I write this letter out of admiration and hope. For I, who have never purposely hurt another human being, am willing to be hurt to defend a dream.

Sir, I respect you and all that you and the great men of this land have been doing for the sake of us all. For the sake of families and faces that you have never met.

I am no soldier, but I am a believer. I am no fighter, but I am a survivor. I ask you, humbly, to allow me to be a part of history and fight for what is right. I beg you to give me a chance to proudly assure that the good men of this land and our children keep what is their, to keep what they deserve.

Respectfully.
