Pl me ! imagine that you are an immigrant in the 1800s leaving ireland and coming to america. to make things easier, let's pretend your name is "chris", and today is your birthday! what is it like to enter the united states through ellis island? are you enjoying your birthday? do you miss your home and relatives in ireland? what are your hopes for the united states? you have been given a $10 gold coin for your birthday, a lot of money in 1892. what will you spend it on? plz give me a good !

I think I would be scared to enter America as a new immigrant. It Is exciting but brand new. Ireland at the time was not necessarily English speaking so I would be coming in speaking Gaelic and feeling lost at Ellis Island. It would be crowded just like the ship and if I had any illnesses or maladies I could be held there. I would definitely miss them, but I'd relish the opportunity. once out I'd head west and use the $10 to buy my way to Oklahoma. I'd spend it on provisions to buy my own land in the land run of 1893. I could then homestead my own property, bring over my family and have a place for us all to live. I'd miss them in the time being, but we could be together once I'm established.
