The Stop At Ellis Island Analysis

This case involves a physician, Dr. Burditt, who had disregarded the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). This act was implemented to prevent “Medicare-participating hospital from “dumping” patients out of the emergency room” (Pozgar, 2016, p. 245). In this case, Dr. Burditt had had examined the patient and made the decision to transfer her to another hospital that was located quite a distance away. When the patient was evaluated, it was noted that she had “dangerously high blood pressure (210/130) and was in active labor with ruptured membranes” (Pozgar, 2016, p. 245). Dr. Burditt should have continued to treat this patient because of her symptoms, which could have resulted in the death

The video, “Ellis Island Island Deconstructed”, communicates that even though immigration is a long and hard process, people are still willing to go through with it. In the video, it is said that about 1.2 million people were processed when they were still open for operations. 1.2 million people that were there for the average of three to four hours( some even more) being processed, questioned, and examined. Some might not even be granted admission into the United States even after being there for days. The conditions weren’t the best either. Because of the large amount of people, everything was cramped and space was tight. Pictures from the video indicated that a lot of people would be crammed into one room that wasn’t even that big. After

It was a wonderful eye-opening experience to interview Carmen Anton, a Spanish immigrant for this project. I learned so many things about how she arrived in American as a small child with only her sister by her side and her strive to become American. The emotional struggles of Carmen and her sister, Elena, were real and I didn’t realize it was that emotionally draining to come to a new country. Her experience showed me how hard it is to fit into a new society knowing absolutely nothing about the world she was dropped into. The fact that she flew here with her younger sister and then live for three months without her parents to guide her in this unfamiliar setting, shows me how strong and brave Carmen was at the young age of eight. When she first came, she assumed it would be like

The First step in processing immigrants to Ellis Island begins with immigrants taking their luggage to the baggage room to drop off their luggage then head back to the main lobby. After returning to the main lobby immigrants were to walk up the main steps in the front as doctors observed their movements to ensure they were physically healthy. The immigrants then made their way to the great hall to fill out registration paperwork and to partake in a six second physical examination. After partaking in the physical examination the immigrants were then asked to come up to a registry desk to be asked some general questions and to be reviewed based on their past experiences from their migrating country. After clearing the registration desk immigrants

The Ellis Island known today was founded by the New York State government in 1855 and it was the first immigrant processing station established in the United States. This maverick immigrant processing station was originally based on an island off the southwest tip of Manhattan, Castle Garden. The NY State Government placed this Immigrant processing station off shore for two main reasons. The first of those reasons being, for the protection of the immigrants who were often robbed or tricked out of their already meager funds by city swindlers. Also, to further prevent the spread of any infectious diseases that potential immigrants may have been carrying. Prior to the establishment of the Castle Garden processing station, Immigrants were allowed to simply walk freely into Manhattan harbor after departing from their ships. In April of 1890, due to legal issues, the castle garden project was ended and the US government purchased a swampy and small island to the to the southeast of Manhattan, where they would construct a new immigrant processing center and

Today, New York City is the most populated city in the United States. New York City, NYC, is made up of five boroughs including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Ellis Island, the first immigration station, and the statue of liberty are both located in New York. Immigrants went for more freedom in the 1800s and for economic and other opportunities back then and even now. Since NYC is such a large city, there are more job opportunities which draws people to the city. Also, there are an abundance of attractions and much more cultural diversity. All of these factors contribute to the reason the population is a whopping 8.538 million people!

Through thousands of years, United States was a station for millions of migrates. United States had to prepare for those number of migrates. It was welcome them through New York portal, but it was a small area to do that. Then, United States decided to use Ellis Island for migration treatment. At Ellis island, migrates has to pass all medical examinations and legal inspection to determine whether they are suitable for entry into the United States. However, migrates who passed into United States have faced a problem with movement is called Nativism. Nativism & Ellis Island are two terms have been graved in the early migrant’s mind.

From the years 1892 to 1954, Ellis Island most famously used as a station to inspect and process almost twelve million immigrants that were coming in from all around the world. It’s located in the Upper New York Bay on an island that takes up almost twenty-eight acres of land; making it take up part of New Jersey. Even though that it was famous for being the first Federal immigration station, it has an important history long before this title.

Feel different when walking into a new home or building according to the atmosphere inside? Now Imagine walking through the Gateway to a Whole New World where only one lone- translator who will not be with you once you step beyond the gateway, is the only person besides your parents who speaks the same language as you. What might happen to you before, during, and after passing through the doors of Ellis Island? For 62 years, millions of immigrants passed through the changing doors of Ellis Island on their way to becoming Americans, but their journeys are only part of the story (Jones 1). That’s why I decided to ask my grandmother her story of passing through the many doors of Ellis Island. Once a vacant island of sand in the Hudson River, before 1951, Ellis Island was once used for storing ammo, hanging pirates, as a detention center (during both WWI & WWII) ,a hospital, a psychiatric ward, then the immigration station it is most known for through the 1954:, and today it is currently used as the Ellis Island Immigration n museum and American History Center. Before my German grandmother entered the U.S through Ellis Island, the Island had

The voyage to America for the servants was a horrible journey. Servants were packed in boats with little to no space. An individual would be given 2 feet width and 6 feet length to sleep in, but boats were usually overloaded with hundreds of servants including tools, provision and other items that took up space. Packed in space, fewer boats servants were carried to England from Holland. This journey usually took two to four weeks depending on the winds. If winds were good, the journey would take eight days or sooner to arrive. Servants were allowed to take their money, but were forced to waste it all to purchase goods but they still ended starving.

Ellis Island by Joseph Bruchac and Europe and America by David Ignatow possess similar components regarding the American Dream. For example, both works include dreams, experiences, and disappointments of earlier generations. The poems differ within their similarities though through how the narrator feels towards their ancestors doings. To begin, Ellis Island discusses the dreams of two Slovak children who became the narrator’s grandparents. Lines nine through eleven state, “...tall woman, green / as dreams of forests and meadows / waiting...” The tall woman referred to represents the Statue of Liberty which stood proudly and greeted boats as they sailed to Ellis Island. At first sight, the monument became the “...answerer / of dreams” (16-17), for

In the late 1800s , America became the land of new opportunities and new beginnings and New York City became the first landmark for immigrants. New York City was home to Ellis Island, the area in which migrants were to be handed for freedom to enter the nation. Living in New York City gave work and availability to ports. In time the city gave the chance to outsider's to construct groups with individuals from their nation , they were classified as new and old settlers. Old outsiders included Germans, Irish and, English. The new outsiders incorporated those from Italy, Russia, Poland and Austria-Hungary. In 1875, the New York City populace was a little 1 million individuals contrasted with the 3,5 million it held when the new century

Power is defined as “control or authority over others” (OED). On the surface, many people may seem to hold power over others, but it can be seen on a deeper level. In the play Macbeth there are numerous characters that display qualities of power, including Macbeth himself. Though Macbeth holds power, he is not considered the most powerful. The three witches hold the most control over others in Macbeth.

The author wrote this essay because he wanted to inform people about the trouble's immigrants had to face on their way to the United States. “It was occupied by passengers paying the lowest wage,” (Freedman 1). The boat rides to this country was very long and rough. Illness and diseases were going all around the passengers. Ellis Island was not much of a better scenario either. People were detained or even sent back. Living in America was also not a good time. The homes were run down and messed up everywhere.
