Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework. 

Option 3: Collections: IMMIGRANT VOICES late 1800s through mid-1900s

Mrs. Chin, age 19, writing from Angel Island, 1913

There was not much for us to do on the Island. In the morning, we got up and washed our faces. Afterwards, we had breakfast. After we ate, we napped or washed our own clothes. At lunch time, we had congee [rice porridge] in a large serving bowl with some cookies. Then at night we had rice with a main dish. You picked at some of it, I picked at some of it, and that was that. We ate in a huge dining hall. After the women ate, the men ate. As the women passed, the men teased us, whistling, saying this-and-that; they were so naughty. They allowed us to go outside to the yard or even out to the dock, where there were grass and trees, tall and fan-like. The women were allowed to wander around, jump around, and stick our hands or feet into the water to fish out seaweed. Otherwise, the day would have been hard to pass.
