What question might you ask to have a better
understanding of this passage?
All the people and boarding the ship, it was all a brand
new experience. We left Rotterdam, we set sail and about
a half hour after the ship started my sister got very sea
sick. It took us fourteen days to cross the Atlantic and in
the entire crossing, she was in steerage, and the only time
she came up for a breath of fresh air was just about a half
hour before we saw the Statue of Liberty.
