Hello America Post One:


Quote One: “There, she emerges out of the haze, there is no mistake about it, The Statue of Liberty,” said Elli gleefully. Pg. 2, Paragraph 3
This quote really shows how the person, Elli is really excited to see the statue of liberty. Elli is a Jewish person coming to America after the Holocaust and is eager to find her place in America. I think that the Statue of Liberty was a symbol that she has finally found her place in America.
I have been to the Statue of Liberty on a trip and it gave me a great feeling of hope and freedom. I can see why survivors of the Holocaust felt free when they came to America and saw the Statue of Liberty. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and they finally felt free when they came to America.
Why did so many people come to America with no money?

Quote Two: “God Almighty, you have a really bad case of seasickness,” said the Captain to Elli. Pg. 11, Paragraph 4
This quote shows how Elli has a pretty bad job. She sails across to Europe, but has a bad case of seasickness. It sounds like it is very unpleasant to have seasickness and she has a very bad case of it.
I have also had seasickness on a boat before and it is very unpleasant. Seasickness is very bad so I think it is stupid to work on a ship. I would never work on a ship if I had a bad case of seasickness.
Why would somebody want to work on a ship if they suffer from seasickness?
