Can anyone help me punctuate this sentence, please?
Hi, my name is Sims,
Can anyone help me punctuate this sentence? Please? I'm so lost. =(
It is clear from reading the passage about Ishmael's body language while greeting the family that his intention was to feel accepted by the family

It needs a period at the end. No other punctuation is required. You might want to change the second "the family" to "them", and I'm not convinced that the last part of the sentence is strictly logical.
