home Hannah Balsley Mrs. Laurencot TEWWG 1st Sentence response 11/16/09 After reading the sentence, "ships at a distance have every man's wish on board", i think that it is about being in a place that you don't want to be in and looking farther for something good to happen. By this, i mean that when something is far away you think the best of it, but as it gets closer it could potentially become something greater then you imagined or something worse. I feel that it is talking about how everyone can wish, hope and pray for the best and that ship coming could have everything on it that someone ever wished for. Finishing chapter one, i think that the sentence, "ships at a distance have every man's wish on board", is mainly about peoples dreams and how they go about getting them. Some people just let everything fall into place, where others don't do much about it and constantly have the reminder of it.
