If you were an immigrant arriving at Ellis Island in 1892, what three items would you bring with you and why? by Haley Hardy

I would carry my school primer to help me learn English faster, a handmade doll from my best friend to remind me of home, and a small pouch of coins saved by my whole family for our new start.

If I had to bring three things to Ellis Island, I would bring...

The first thing I would bring is some savings that I would have to start off my new journey on Ellis Island. I would be excited because I can start off a new vacation/life there and enjoy it.

The second thing I would bring would probably be something like a stuffed animal to remind me of my home. It would accompany me and bring me joy and livelyness to the apartment I would get with my savings.

The last thing I would bring is my sleeping bag because if I had somebody take my money, or I lost/spent it all, I would have someplace to sleep. Overall, I think this would give me a great head start on my journey on Ellis Island.

I would wish I could go back to India because they don'd speak English and speak my native language so I'm having a hard time learning English.I also miss my grandparents who chose to stay in India.Also in India life is easier.I brought three items to keep my memories of India before immagrating to Ellis island.A piece of grass from India.My first toy and the pencil the Pendet my grandpa gave.

I had already learned a lot of English so I didn't need to get some sort of tutor whatever I made sure to bring my money so that I could get food for myself and also not to mention water cause it is just as important as food. I don't have a lot of ather thing that I would want to bring in case of my survival. so I also want to bring a bit of medican cause going to a new place does mean thatg you will never know who is there and what type of sickness they might have and could spread. Sense have everyh thing that I would need I would just take something like a toy or something that will keep me from being bored. Other than that I don't have anything else I want. (Please beware of Grammer mistakes).

if I was in their shoes I would probably try to listen and learn English so I would be able to speak everyone's language when I'm allowed into america and savings I made so I'll have a bit of money to start my new life in america I would bring a report of my life in my previous country so I would have a better chance of getting a job and some packed food just in case the food their cost more and I would need to save lots and lots of money and bring lots of clothing so if I could not dry or wash my clothes I would have something to wear to look more professional and while I'm at it a memory of home to remember before I go to bed and I would bring some paper and a pen to write letters to friends and family while in america but now I have to stay here in Ellis island and subscribe to me instead.

So I have just arrived at Ellis Island and it's going ok. But I had to think long and hard about what to bring. I knew I would need some money of some sort. I would get snacks because I don't want to get HANGRY!!! Also maybe something that can make me happy. Like a pic or something. Something that can cheer me up when I'm down. I hope I have a great time. WISH ME LUCK!! 😀

This is a little tricky to get around this place cause every where I go I see new immagrants that are being checked for some sort of sickness I don't know about you but I am really starting to realize that this place can have a lot of sick people earlier I heard some people talk about how there was a type of sickness that can cause to an eye infection. Not otl mention that I can also lead to death which sound like a prettyh serious thing so I made sure to keep my medacine with me at all costs. Also some people here are really mean to the immagrants I don't know why.

If I was an immigrant arriving at Ellis Island, I would bring with me a clean set of clothes, a toothbrush, and a thick blanket. First, I would bring an extra clean set of clothes in case my other clothes get ruined or torn. Second, I would bring a tooth brush so my teeth don´t get dirty or ruined. Lastly, I would bring an extra blanket in case it gets cold, or if it is raining.

If I had to bring three other items instead of my other ones, it would be...

I would bring a food supply of potatoes, to start off, so I can survive on Ellis Island. It would be a great help, so I don't have to buy food with money. It would be a great help during my stay on Ellis Island.

I would bring a piece of paper and pencil to use as a drawing resource, because it is my favorite hobby. It would be an amazing thing to use on a vacation, since it is calming, just like listening to music or painting.

The last thing I would bring to Ellis Island is a duffel bag, because it would be easier to use to carry all of my things. It would be a ~wisteria~ colored one (bc u know I like that color) and it would also have a sling so that you don't have to hold it and let it dig into your fingers.

Thank you for reading my post :) pLeASe LiKe & sUBscRIbe

The three items i would bring are something me and my bestie both have to remember each other so we both have each other in our hearts, a luggage with clothes so i can change clothes if i spill something on me, and stuff like a tooth brush and lotion and shampoo and body wash because i need to be clean.
