Paraphrase

In 1920, drinking was illegal for the most part. However, this law was not functioning well because almost everyone had access on alcohol in the local pubs somehow. On the other hand, it was the era of great exchange of culture. For example, music like Jazz became popular in the Nations which was dominated by classical musics (Yancey 25).

All three of my group has different paraphrase of this paragraph. it is really hard to find the similarities between my paraphrase and theirs' because they got the main point of twenties lawlessness however, my paraphrase focused on drinking which was example of violated law.

The major differences of my paraphrase with possible answer was my paraphrase is more focus on example like Jazz and drinking violation however, the paragraph is more focuses on America in 20's.

  1. But that's okay.

    A paraphrase is a restatement of the author's idea(s), not necessarily the main points.

    A summary is a restatement of the author's main points.

    All of you did very well.
