Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman.
Which detail best supports the idea that Ellis Island
was often frightening to the immigrants?
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 1892. 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."
O Immigrants who failed exams were sent home.
O Ellis Island began processing immigrants in 1892.
People were asked questions at Ellis Island
It was the country's main processing center.

"and i will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love". juliet faces her fears and trusts in god and friar lawrence. she is forced to use trickery in order to stay true to dear romeo. this showed remarkable courage. before she takes the potion she uses a soliloquy that confronts all her fears. she speaks in blank verse showing the seriousness of the situation. when juliet awakes to see a lifeless romeo lying beside her, juliet's maturity and loyalty takes over and she takes the decision to choose eternity over the present. the quotation "then i'll be brief. o happy dagger! this is my sheath; there rust, and let me die." shows the quickness and determination of juliet's death. during the period of a few days juliet matures into a committed and reliable woman and wife, capable of taking decisions without the of others. shakespeare shows this by clearly stating the different stages that happen and by making everything occur in a short period of time.part cwrite a 300-word essay arguing the thesis of your analysis.
