Read the excerpt from immigrant kids by russell freedman.

the writer angelo pellegrini has recalled his own family’s detention at ellis island:

we lived there for three days – mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. and if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do? my sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and mother was told, “well, we can’t let her in.” but fortunately, mother was an indomitable spirit and finally made them understand that if her child had a few hours’ rest and a little bit to eat she would be all right. in the end we did get through.

most immigrants passed through ellis island in about one day. carrying all their worldly possessions, they left the examination hall and waited on the dock for the ferry that would take them to manhattan, a mile away. some of them still faced long journeys overland before they reached their final destination. others would head directly for the teeming immigrant neighborhoods of new york city.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here?
