pls hep me. Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had
to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief immigrant processing center in 18g2.
There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be
detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great
anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as "Heartbreak Island."
When their ship docked at the Hudson River pier, the immigrants had numbered identity tags pinned to
their clothing. Then they were herded onto special ferryboats that carried them to Ellis Island. Officials
hurried them along, shouting "Quick! Run! Hurry!" in half a dozen languages.
Filing into an enormous inspection hall, the immigrants formed long lines separated by iron railings
that made the hall look like a great maze.

Immigrants usually crossed the Atlantic as steerage passengers. Reached by steep, slippery stairways,
the steerage lay deep down in the hold of the ship. It was occupied by passengers paying the lowest
fare.
Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-smelling compartments. They slept in narrow
punks stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges, and no dining rooms. Food served from
huge kettles was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship company. Because steerage
conditions were crowded and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as possible up on deck.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.

immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:
The officers of the ship ... went striding up and down the decks shouting orders and directions
and driving the immigrants before them. Scowling and gesturing, they pushed and pulled the
passengers, herding us into separate groups as though we were animals. A few moments later
we came to our dock, and the long journey was over.

Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian
immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:
My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that
hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of
Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our
captain's memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and
come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.

The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family’s detention at Ellis Island:
We lived there for three days – Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do? My sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and Mother was told, “Well, we can’t let her in.” But fortunately, Mother was an indomitable spirit and finally made them understand that if her child had a few hours’ rest and a little bit to eat she would be all right. In the end we did get through.
Most immigrants passed through Ellis Island in about one day. Carrying all their worldly possessions, they left the examination hall and waited on the dock for the ferry that would take them to Manhattan, a mile away. Some of them still faced long journeys overland before they reached their final destination. Others would head directly for the teeming immigrant neighborhoods of New York City.
