Mixed emotions.

Some feelings and experiences immigrants coming to the United States at the turn of the century must have been a big mixture of feelings. From what i saw in all the pictures it seems that the biggest feeling was being afraid. Being afraid of what might happen to them, as an individual and as a family. Scared that their family might get seperated. Another feeling might have been excitement. Exciment because they are coming into a whole new type of lifestyle and way of living and the first thing they see is the Statue of liberty and the big city. They are excited to start a whole new life and work hard to support their family. They probably felt hopeful of many good things coming their way. Once they get off the ships and into the city they were probably dissapointed because the streets are dirty and everything was filthy and smelly. once they saw how they had to live, crowded in one room apartaments and the buildings are unstable their hope probably went to the ground because it was not what they expected.
