Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman
Which is an example of paraphrasing the excerpt?
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
Yere on their way to America.
"Because steerage conditions were crowded and
uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as
possible up on deck."
O Freedman writes that the long trip "was an ordeal,
but it was worth it. They were on their way to
America."

poor. People had no room to sleep comfortably, the
food was not good, and there was no way to keep
clean
O 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."

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
