What are some of the disappointments some people in America had, as depicted in the poem? 3. What do you know about your ancestors, and how and when they came to America? 4. What are some aspects of your personal American Dream? What do you hope to accomplish/experience in your lifetime? 5. What challenges do you face when it comes to achieving your own American Dream, and how to you plan to overcome those challenges? 6. In your opinion, does America still offer the American Dream to immigrants from other countries? Explain your answer. 7. What literary movement does Ellis Island fit into? Support your answer with the text. Europe and America Questions 1. According to page 11 of the SpringBoard book, what is the difference between the denotation of a word and the connotation of a word? 2.

Why does he describe America as...a vast continent of breezes to himself, but storms to him [his father]? 5. Create a Venn Diagram that compares and contrasts the past and present generations ideas and dreams about America, as depicted in the poem. Include at least five similarities/differences. 6.

What, specifically, is Martha Carrier accused of doing? 2. What is the evidence against Martha Carrier? 3. Give an example of subjective language (bias) from Cotton Mather s account of Martha Carrier s trial. 4. Martha Carrier pleaded innocent, but was found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging. How have the rules of evidence in American courts changed since the trial of Martha Carrier? 5. Martha Carrier s own children testified that she was a witch, and confessed themselves to be witches, as well. Historians say that her children were tortured by members of the court by being tied neck to heels until blood was ready to come out of their noses before they confessed. Senator John McCain, who was himself tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, has spoken out against the use of water boarding by the United States. He says that, when he was tortured, he gave false information in order to escape the torture, and therefore, torture is an unreliable method for gaining information. Others insist that water boarding terrorist prisoners produced the information that led to the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and is a useful tool for gaining military intelligence.
