Ellis Island

The photographs of Ellis Island shows the immigrants coming to the United States at the turn of the century. They must have been feeling really bad and they had to wait in line outside for tickets , they also had to go through a mental test and eat in very little places and often you had no seat to sit and eat because it was all taken. They also must have been really tired of all the waiting with they're belongings. It must have been very frustrating.

The Shirt Song

The workers who have often created music that served as a form of protest and a way to get them through the long hours of the workday, created a song that shows us how tiring and sad there life was. It shows how tired they were and sleepy. It also shows how the women were plying there needles, poor and hungry with no care what's so ever. The workers always working , day and night, nonstop , they need care. This song is really sad, it shows how miserable life must have been for these workers and how they were treated so bad.
