Read the excerpt from "Homesick” by Jean Fritz.
On the whole, Andrea and I had a good time on the President Taft. In the evenings we often watched movies. In the afternoons we made pigs of ourselves at tea where we had our pick of all kinds of dainty sandwiches, scones, macaroons, chocolate bonbons, and gooey tarts. Actually, I even liked going to bed on shipboard. I'd lie in my bunk and feel the ship's engines throbbing and know that even when I fell asleep I wouldn't be wasting time. I'd still be on the go, moving closer to America every minute.
What is most likely the narrator's goal for this paragraph?
to change how the reader views the challenge of moving to a new land
to shape how the reader sees the experience of traveling on the President Taft
to persuade the reader to choose a ship like the President Taft for future travel
to convince the reader that traveling by ship is the most productive way to travel
