We lived there for three days Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do? My sister was indeed momentarily rejected; she had been so ill and had cried so much that her eyes were absolutely bloodshot, and Mother was told, Well, we cant let her in. But fortunately, Mother was an indomitable spirit and finally made them understand that if her child had a few hours rest and a little bit to eat she would be all right. In the end we did get through.Most immigrants passed through Ellis Island in about one day. Carrying all their worldly possessions, they left the examination hall and waited on the dock for the ferry that would take them to Manhattan, a mile away. Some of them still faced long journeys overland before they reached their final destination. Others would head directly for the teeming immigrant neighborhoods of New York City.Which line from the excerpt is an example of the author paraphrasing?

Let me know if the message of the poem is conveyed well and if it sounds to rigid or if it flows very well.~Nuvole bianche~By; Jacob OdomThe sun paints the sky with such colours as the golden riches of twilight and the pure white silks, such beauty... Fleeting beauty found in the moments before dark, such beauty Those clouds, seen by children as the living imagination;Watch as they lie down in the field and dream of the lives and joys to come in the future, that are found in their imaginations, such beauty... Such purity, that is what is lost in life, the courage to imagine, to see the white clouds and dream of the simple joys of this life, such sweet sorrow....Lost sight of the hopes, lost sight of the dream, the dream that brought such joy, where have the clouds goneLike twilight, such is the way of childhood, here for the fleeting moments of the rich gold and silver linings that crown the clouds, such hopeful beauty...But as soon as the clouds are here, just as fast they hang with the thundering rain, such sorrow of a wasted dream Through the night, until the morning, when the sun shines again to bring back the hopes of a new dream, such beautyFleeting is the twilight, but such beauty that the sun comes again, such hopeAnd all to dream on Nuvole bianche, until the morning;Nuvole bianche Such hopeful beauty.~((Nuvole Bianche meaning White Clouds~
