Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather’s hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother. Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers – a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty. —Edward Corsi, Italian Immigrant, from Immigrant Kids, Russell Freedman

Read the passage. Paraphrase the central idea.

Respuesta :

The question above wants to assess your ability to paraphrase a text and your reading and writing skills. For that reason, I can't write you the paraphrase for you, but I'll show you how to write one.

First, you need to know that the term paraphrase refers to a text that has been re-presented with different words, but with the same meaning.

In this case, to paraphrase the text shown in the question above, you should:

  • Read the entire text.
  • Identify the main subject of the text.
  • Identify the meaning of the text.
  • Rewrite this text, using different words, but keeping the meaning and main subject of the text.

With this, we can see that paraphrasing is a very important device to present texts without plagiarism.
