Read this passage. Write one paragraph reflecting on how the author’s use of a quotation makes the informational text stronger. 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."

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.

might need to ask questions people no or have read somthing about.
