Ellis Island!

 It was a journey for the immigrants that came to Ellis Island. They were probably feeling scared, excited, and confused. Some families were really big and might of had to split up. Coming to a new country and not knowing anything about it would be intimidating. That is why some people would befriend others from the same country they were from. Jobs were probably difficult to find and maintain. If things wouldn't work out for some people they would go back home, however, the whole point of coming to Ellis Island was to have a better life.
