Ellis Island
The article “Return to Ellis Island Evokes Memories and Pride” by Chuck Sambar tells us about Ellis Island and his
own story. Ellis Island is a way for immigrants to enter New York. In 1956, Chuck Sambar, who is from Lebanon, went
through Ellis Island and enter New York with more than 1200 other immigrants. From 1892 to 1954, 12 million people
wanted to come to the United States. However, only 40 percent passed. In 1986, Chuck Sambar visited Ellis Island with
his family. He saw it was totally different. It was rebuilt. In addition, he found that his son had donated money to the
institution. This was a meaningful Christmas gift for him. On the wall, there was a name list of American immigrants. He
was proud he was an American immigrant. He thought America was the best country on Earth.
