This morning we took a bus to the subway. We then went on the subway to Battery Park. There were ferries that dropped you off at Ellis Island. We went on the ferry and passed by the Statue of Liberty. The statue was a sign of freedom for people that came into port from England, Russia, and Italy. Then we went to Ellis Island where they came to be checked by doctors to see if they had any diseases. They were asked questions and looked through their belongings. They only could bring around 10 things from their home to America. Some of them were sent back to their home because they had bad diseases or didn’t answer the questions right. This was bad because the trip was very harsh and they did not want to do it again. After Ellis Island, they went to New York to live or go to other places.
We went to Time Square. I liked seeing the ferris wheel at Toys R Us. Then we went back to our van in New Jersey.
