Cwilcox TEWWG Openign Sentence

TEWWG Journal

Corey Wilcox Page 1 Mrs. Laurencot TEWWG Opening Sentence Part 1 Before reading chapter one I think the quote “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board,” means a few things. I think this quote means that if someone from a less fortunate or third world country sees a ship from a distance they wish they were on it so they could go anywhere but where they live right now. They wish they could be on the boat and be brought to a country like the United States so all of their dreams can come true. They believe that if they are brought to a different country with many freedoms then their life will be perfect and they will have nothing to worry about. In the country they live in now they probably have barely any freedoms and they wish they were in a place where they can do a lot more. Part 2 After reading chapter one I still believe the quote “Ships at a distance have everyman’s wish on board,” means that the person watching the ship sail across the ocean wishes that they were on it and if they were all of their dreams will come true.
