The trip to Governors Island
Our trip to Governors Island was a boring but cool learning experience. Our day was long but interesting.Llike most New Yorkers, our day started of with a train ride to the Governors Island ferry. Once we got to Governors Island we learned about what it was used for. Long ago at one time, it was a fort used for war then it was a housing quarters for the governor and other important government officials. Then it was used as a regular community and now it’s vacant and has no use. On the trip to Governors Island , I made a new friend. His name was James and he was one of the rangers on the island. I think that Governors Island can be put to use in so many ways. For example it could be used as housing for the homeless or for a really important matter we may face and do face, why not use the island to help decrease the population in the city which is why we have such a problem with homelessness now because we are over populated and over crowded.
