 * __"Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board."__

//Pre-reading-//** I think that this sentence means that people want more than they can get. I think this because if the ships are at a distance and they have every man's wish on board they cannot possibly hold every man that is in the world. Therefore, it is showing that people want more than they can get.

After I read the first chapter of "Their Eyes Were Watching God", I think that this sentence is about a person's dreams. I think this because the book mentioned how some peoples dreams were "coming in with the tide", which means they are happening, or they are "going out to sea", which means that their dreams are not going to happen anytime soon.
