1. The people who arrived to Ellis Island felt afraid passing through due to the worry if they didn't answer the questions properly and had to be deported back, if they looked sick(sea sickness) or had a noticeable issue not allowing them through, if in any way at all they weren't allowed through. As well as, they could be afraid if they lost, or someone stole their belongings and were separated from their family. The people also felt impatient. Imagine having to wait for hours crammed together with a bunch of people, noise so loud from people yelling and babies crying you could barely hear. It would be stressful and make you impatient. Lastly, the people could be hopeful. They were hopeful and glad that they had the chance to come to Ellis Island to possibly be given the chance to become a U.S citizen.
2. I believe the screening process in the immigration hall was messy from the overpacked people crowding around, waiting in line, and impatient people trying to push through. As well as, I could imagine their being so much noise that could be barely tolerable from babies crying, people yelling around, and thousands of voices surrounding you. I also believe the screening process was unsanitary from using the same tools over and over again for checkups that have touched people with diseases, spreading what they are trying to avoid.
3. When I arrived to the classroom to learn about my fate, I was nervous that I would be put in quarantine or be deported and was not allowed to go to America. I was worried that I would say the wrong answer when Mr. Elms asked us the questions. There is a lot of suspicion of what you might be asked.
