Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell
Freedman
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 nigorous physical examination that we had
to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this
terble 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
Which line from the excerpt is an example of a
quotation?
1:Some of them still faced long journeys overland...
2:They left the examination hall and waited on the dock
for the ferry that would take them to Manhattan...
3: Others would head directly for the teeming immigrant
neighborhoods of New York City.
4: But fortunately, Mother was an indomitable spirit...
Pls hurry

Analyzing the Use of Imagery


Mouths full of laughter, the turistas come to the tall hotel with suitcases full of dollars. Every morning my brother makes the cool beach new for them. With a wooden board he smooths away all footprints. I peek through the cactus fence and watch the women rub oil sweeter than honey into their arms and legs while their children jump waves or sip drinks from long straws, coconut white, mango yellow. Once my little sister ran barefoot across the hot sand for a taste. My mother roared like the ocean, "No. No. It's their beach. It's their beach." —"Fences," Pat Mora So I don't get locked out of answering.

There are four main types of conflict. Many stories will have more than one type of conflict. Character vs. Character: It's the most common type of conflict in a story. This is any kind of struggle between two or more people. Character vs. Nature: This is when a character must overcome some natural obstacle or condition. Character vs. Society: A struggle against society occurs when a character is at odds with a particular social force or condition produced by society, such as poverty, political revolution, a social convention or set of values. Characters vs. Themselves: Within a character, parts of his or her personality may struggle for dominance. This conflict is usually about making a choice.

excerpt from Frankenstein

by Mary Shelly

Six years have passed since I resolved on my present undertaking. I can, even now, remember the hour from which I dedicated myself to this great enterprise. I commenced by inuring my body to hardship. I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep; I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day and devoted my nights to the study of mathematics, the theory of medicine, and those branches of physical science from which a naval adventurer might derive the greatest practical advantage. Twice I actually hired myself as an under-mate in a Greenland whaler, and acquitted myself to admiration. I must own I felt a little proud when my captain offered me the second dignity in the vessel and entreated me to remain with the greatest earnestness, so valuable did he consider my services.

Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.
