Question

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.

The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.

The great majority of immigrants landed in New York City, at America’s busiest port. They never forgot their first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty.

Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:

My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain’s memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.

My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams.

Explanation:

• Quotations are used directly to imply a different meaning in the title of a particular work, or to write words as words.
• Block quotation marks cannot be delimited by quotation marks.
• Quoted text is capitalized when quoting a complete sentence, and not when quoting a fragment.
• A direct quotation is used, if you want to get the text directly from the source without changing anything.
• A verbatim citation often summarizes exactly what you want to say and needs no further explanation.
