Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.
But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nationâs chief immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as âHeartbreak Island.â
When their ship docked at the Hudson River pier, the immigrants had numbered identity tags pinned to their clothing. Then they were herded onto special ferryboats that carried them to Ellis Island. Officials hurried them along, shouting âQuick! Run! Hurry!â in half a dozen languages.
Filing into an enormous inspection hall, the immigrants formed long lines separated by iron railings that made the hall look like a great maze.
Which is an example of paraphrasing the excerpt?
