excerpt?
Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands,
while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother.
Passengers all about us were crowding against the
rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs
and cheers -- a steaily rising din filed the air.
Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too
could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty.
O It was noisy on the ship sailing to America.
Immigrant parents and children made a lot of
noise, especially when they got to the Statue of
Liberty.
O Immigrant families sailing to America were excited
when they finally made it to the New York harbor.
Everyone on board made happy noise as they
reached the United States.
O Everyone on board the ship was fighting to see
the Statue of Liberty. Babies and mnothers and
fathers all cried because they couldn't see it,
because it was off to the left.
O Immigrant children had to hold tightly to their
parents' hands. There was so much crowding and
jostling on board the ship. If they didn't stay close
to their parents, they would fall off the boat.
