6. Script :
Ellis Island
-
Why did you bring me here, Grandpa ? Where are we ?
-
We’re on Ellis Island; this is where many immigrants arrived, when they wanted to live in
America. My father, your great-grandfather, came here in 1904. I want to tell you his story.
Look at the Statue of Liberty, over there, Mary. It was the first thing your ancestor saw when he
arrived in New York harbor.
-
Where did your father come from ?
-
He came from Ireland; he was very poor, and he thought that he would have a better life in
America. This is the American Dream. Come on, let’s go inside. The immigrants arrived here, in
the Great hall, and they were examined by the doctors upstairs.
-
What happened after that ?
-
They had to answer twenty-nine questions in two minutes. A lot of immigrants didn’t understand
anything. They were all frightened, very tired and worried.
-
Look at that big wall, over there ! Let’s go and have a look at it !
-
This is the Wall of Honor. All the names that are written on it are immigrants' names. Look for
your ancestor’s name.
-
Oh! Here it is !
