According to the passage, the voyage was difficult, but worthwhile. How does the quotation from Edward Corsi develop this topic? It provides a firsthand experience from an immigrant who says he “clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation.” It provides a firsthand experience from an immigrant who says his “first impressions of the New World will always remain.” It provides a firsthand experience from an immigrant who says he was happy to come to “this miraculous land of our dreams.” It provides a firsthand experience from an immigrant who says the boat “was filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy.”

Answer 1

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:

The officers of the ship . . . went striding up and down the decks shouting orders and directions and driving the immigrants before them. Scowling and gesturing, they pushed and pulled the passengers, herding us into separate groups as though we were animals. A few moments later we came to our dock, and the long journey was over.
