AT ELLIS ISLAND
"NEXT!" yelled the large man behind the counter, motioning for me to step forward.
"what's your name?" he asked, I didn't reply because I didn't understand a word he was saying. So he repeated the question and when I didn't answer a second time he copied the information on my I.D. tag onto a paper and motioned for me to go through two doors.
Behind the doors was a nurse and a line of girls. The nurse walked up to each of us, looked at our eyes, checked our breathing, and looked for any sing of illness. After that she marked our tags with either a green or red stamp, then she motioned for us to walk out another pair of doors.
Behind those doors were a long line of people waiting to pass through another pair of doors. So I waited my turn and I finally walked out those doors into America.
"scusi?"(excuse me) said a girl behind me.
"Che?" (what) I replied.
"I chiedevo se lei potesse aiutarmi." (I was wondering if you could help me.)
"I guess. Che cosa hai bisogno di aiuto?"(what can I do for you?)
"I non conoscono il mio modo attorno e ho bisogno di un posto dove stare. Do you speak english qualsiasi" (I don't know my way around and I need a place to stay. Do you speak any English?)
"Sto cercando di mio padre, che non conosce i esiste. Così non posso davvero aiutarti." (I'm looking for my father that doesn't know i exist. so i can't really help you.)
"Sto cercando mio zio. Pensi che potremmo guardare insieme. I che odio di essere perduto e solo in un luogo come questo." (i'm looking for my uncle. do you think we could look together. i would hate to be lost and alone in a place like this.)
"Certo, sai dove il tuo zio vive?" (sure, do you know where your uncle lives?)
"Sì. Sai dove si è papa?" (yes, do you know where you dad is?)
"Io so dove ha usato per vivere ... Non sono sicuro se egli vive ancora lì." (i know where he used to live... i'm not sure if he still lives there.)
"Così possiamo cercare insieme."(well we can search together.)
After five days of searching the girls found her uncle's house so I was left alone to find my father. One day I was so desperate for food that I walked straight up to a concessions stand, grabbed a loaf of Italian bread, and ran. I was chased all the way through 'little Italy' until I ran into a building that was titled "Genco olive oil."
