Here I am, suspended between the sidewalk and twilight, the sky dimming so fast it seems alive. What if you felt the invisible tug between you and everything? A boy on a bicycle rides by, his white shirt open, flaring behind him like wings. It’s a hard time to be human. We know too much and too little. Does the breeze need us? The cliffs? The gulls? If you’ve managed to do one good thing, the ocean doesn’t care. But when Newton’s apple fell toward the earth, the earth, ever so slightly, fell toward the apple. “I’ve Got Something to Say” 2017 PROGRAM Welcome Whitney W.

  • Punctuation and Sentence Structure
    PUNCTUATION AND SENTENCE STRUCTURE Insert commas in the paragraphs below wherever they are needed, and eliminate any misused or needless commas. Ellis Island New York has reopened for business but now the customers are tourists not immigrants. This spot which lies in New York Harbor was the first American soil seen, or touched by many of the nation’s immigrants. Though other places also served as ports of entry for foreigners none has the symbolic power or Ellis Island. Between its opening in 1892 and its closing in 1954, over 20 million people about two thirds of all immigrants were detained there before taking up their new lives in the United States. Ellis Island processed over 2000 newcomers a day when immigration was at its peak between 1900 and 1920. As the end of a long voyage and the introduction to the New World Ellis Island must have left something to be desired. The “huddled masses” as the Statue of Liberty calls them indeed were huddled. New arrivals were herded about kept standing in lines for hours or days yelled at and abused. Assigned numbers they submitted their bodies to the poking and prodding of the silent slightest sign of sickness, disability or insanity. That test having been passed the immigrants faced interrogation by an official through an interpreter. Those with names deemed inconveniently long or difficult to pronounce, often found themselves permanently labeled with abbreviations of their names, or with the examination humiliation and confusion, to take the last short boat ride to New York City. For many of them and especially for their descendants Ellis Island eventually became not a nightmare but the place where life began.

As a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, the Statue commemorates friendship, democratic government, and the abolition of slavery. Her design, an important technological achievement of its time, continues to represent a bridge between art and engineering. • Ellis Island is the preeminent example of a government immigration and public health operation, the busiest and largest of its time.
