The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America.
Edward Corsi, [ . . .] was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:
"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."

Answer: Sample Response: The author writes that the ordeal of the voyage was worth it. He develops this idea by including a quotation that tells what the voyage was like and how immigrants felt about arriving to the US. The quotation gives credibility to the author's idea and makes the text stronger because it is from an immigrant who had firsthand experience making the voyage and arriving in the states.
