Is this a good paraphrase from....

I found this from wikipedia and paraphrased it:

//deleted by Moderator//

What I Paraphrased:

Cannery Row is full of contentment despite their social class. Mack and the boys are poor but don't need much necessities however they appreciate everything they are given. Doc lives in a lab and has no companion, yet satisfied. Henri the painter continuously builds his boat and is still content. Many people have debts to pay to Lee Chong, but instead of going after them, he lets the debtors steadily pay what they owe. Cannery Row desires to remain content and is not motivated to be something else.

What should I add or improve?

Greetings!

Sorry, but you can't post something copied from another site. I'd be happy to edit your paraphrasing, however, you must remember to cite the widipedia source you paraphrased from. Even paraphrasing is plagiarism, if you don't attribute your source.
