“Ellis Island”  Mark the conflicting images created by Bruchac. Slovak Grandparents Native American Grandparents

Beyond the red brick of Ellis Island where the two Slovak children who became by grandparents waited the long days of quarantine, after leaving the sickness, the old Empires of Europe, a Circle Line ship slips easily on its way to the island of the tall woman, green as dreams of forests and meadows waiting for those who’d worked a thousand years yet never owned Like millions of others, I too come to this island, nine decades the answerer of dreams. Yet only part of my blood loves that memory. another voice speaks of native lands within this nation. Lands invaded when the earth became owned. Lands of those who followed the changing Moon, knowledge of the seasons in their veins. Slovakian grandparents arrived in America and were excited to own the land they worked. Native American grandparents upset because the land they loved was being taken away from them. He is conflicted because of his dual heritage. EA 2: How is the American Dream different for the two groups included in the poem?

 What is the conflicting image presented by Wheatley?  How does America satisfy her American Dream?

T’was mercy brought me from my Pagan land, Taught my benighted soul to understand That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too: Once I redemption neither sought nor knew. Some view our sable race with scornful eye, “Their colour is a diabolic die.” Remember, Christians, Negros, black as Cain, May be refin’d and join th’ angelic train.
