One thing that surprised me the most about learning about Ellis Island is that they had to go through such brutal medical examinations! I was really surprised to find out that such a vast number of people were sent back due to such the tiniest things. I do not believe that anyone in my family has gone through Ellis Island, although that's something I should definitely further my knowledge upon. This falls upon the Geography lens. Since it it talking about location, migration, culture, travel, and boundaries. This relates to me because I moved from Chicago to the suburbs when I was very little.
