Which text in the poem supports the theme "America
was a land of possibility for many"?
the two Slovak children who became my
grandparents
Beyond the red brick of Ellis Island
where the two Slovak children
who became my grandparents
waited the long days of quarantine,
after leaving the sickness,
the old Empires of Europe,
a Circle Line ship slips easily
on its way to the island
of the tall woman, green
as dreams of forests and meadows
waiting for those who'd worked
a thousand years
yet never owned their own.
Like millions of others,
I too come to this island,
nine decades the answerer
of dreams.
-"Ellie Teled "Toronh Rruchar
o this island, nine decades the answerer of dreams.
a Circle Line ship slips easily on its way to the
island
the long days of quarantine
