TEWWG Response" limit="10" Pre Reading I think the quote “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board” means that at first sight, someone or something seems to have everything you want. For instance, “love at first sight.” Sometimes people see someone and automatically think that person is everything they want based off of their looks. This quote kind of goes along with the saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Post Reading After reading the first chapter of “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” I found a new meaning for the quote “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board.” I think this quote means that sometimes dreams come so easy to people, and to others, dreams never really come true. I think this because in the first paragraph it says, “ For some they come with the tide,” which I took to mean that dreams, or wishes, come easily to some people. Also in the first paragraph it says, “ For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time.” I took this to mean that for some people, dreams don’t come true. But yet they still hold onto them, sometimes for a lifetime.
