Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
Immigrants usually crossed the Atlantic as steerage passengers. Reached by steep, slippery stairways, the steerage lay deep down in the hold of the ship. It was occupied by passengers paying the lowest fare.
Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-smelling compartments. They slept in narrow punks stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges, and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship company. Because steerage conditions were crowded and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as possible up on deck.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.
Which is an example of paraphrasing the excerpt?
“Because steerage conditions were crowded and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as possible up on deck.”
Freedman writes that the long trip “was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.”
The travel conditions on immigrant ships were very poor. People had no room to sleep comfortably, the food was not good, and there was no way to keep clean.
One author describes the immigrant voyage this way: “the steerage lay deep down in the hold of the ship. It was occupied by passengers paying the lowest fare.”
