A Letter from the Atlantic

Dear Hannah,

I’ve never seen so much water before—everywhere I look, all I can see around me is placid blue. I’m grateful for the calm water today because it enables me to ascend to the top level of the SS Frisia and look at the Atlantic Ocean that stretches before us until it meets the horizon. I feel the warm air on my face and smell the salty sea air, but there’s a pit in my stomach when I think about how different life in New York will be.

When we first set sail on August 21st, I watched until Hamburg became a miniscule speck in the distance. When I squinted and couldn’t see the familiar buildings with their smoke spewing into the air anymore, Papa told me to look the other way. “You can’t look back,” he said as he walked me to the other side of the ship, his strong arm supporting my shoulders. “Home is there now.” He pointed to a place that was shimmering waves of blue, and I had a hard time visualizing a home that was 6,000 kilometers of water. He told me to close my eyes and picture the skyline that would soon materialize on the horizon. I couldn’t even fathom 6,000 kilometers of water, just like I couldn’t fathom that our new home wouldn’t be Hamburg anymore.

Most of the days at sea have been turbulent; tall waves reach up from the bottom of the sea and smack into the ship, sending us to the ground whenever we are standing. We are jettisoned from one side of the ship to the other like billiard balls; we emigrants glance off one another before moving in separate directions. It was entertaining at first, but now the ship’s rocking motion makes me feel sick, so I descend back to the bottom level where my family’s room is. Through the tiny oval porthole, I watch as the rough water laps the glass.

We play games and read and sleep to pass the time—sometimes there’s violin music that drifts into our room at night. My brother and I step out into the hallway in our socks and dance to the fast beat together, and it makes the boat’s rocking seem bearable. Most nights, we practice some English words with one another peppered in with the German that I will soon use less and less. “I am from Germany,” I practice over and over again, elongating my mouth around vowels that are pronounced differently in English than in German. I still think in German, dream in German, feel German words fly off my tongue with a comfort and speed that I worry I’ll never feel when I speak English. What will happen to me if the English all around me displaces the German of my youth?

There are people on this ship from everywhere: The Kowalski family in the room next to ours is from Poland, while the Ivanov family on the other side is from Russia. We practice basic English with one another: “Good morning. How are you?” Behind the closed doors of strangers’ rooms, I hear unfamiliar consonant sounds making up the lyrics to lilting songs. I can only imagine that these melodies are about feeling adrift; though we come from different places, nostalgia and homesickness know no borders or boundaries.

When I write these letters to you, I wonder where you are and what you are doing. Are you still walking along the canals of the Speicherstadt the way we used to after school? Do you still hear the bells of St. Michael’s Church resounding through the air? Does the bakery on the corner still serve our favorite Brötchen when it comes right out of the oven?

I miss you more than I can say in this letter. Say hello to everyone for me and tell them that my family is doing well. By the time I get on land to mail this letter, I will be at Ellis Island!

Love,

Liesl

Read this passage from Liesl's brother's diary.

I draw pictures of New York in my diary every night. Every time I think about New York, my legs jitter with excitement. Everything will be so new and different! I practice English with everyone I know, even with my family who still wants to speak to me in German. I'm starting to think in English and can't wait until English is all I speak. People walk around here like they are sad, but I couldn't be happier. I think I've already forgotten my life in Hamburg. Ellis Island, here we come!

In the fourth paragraph of "A Letter from the Atlantic," Liesl wonders what will happen "if the English all around [her] displaces the German of [her] youth."

How does Liesl's viewpoint conflict with that of her brother?


Liesl fears she will not speak English well, while her brother is confident in his English skills.

Liesl worries about losing ties to her home culture, while her brother looks forward to joining a new culture.

Liesl plans to remain proficient in German, while her brother plans to embrace English.

Liesl is certain she will be able to embrace two cultures, while her brother thinks he must choose one.

Use the excerpts from Macbeth to complete the following task:


Write an essay of at least three paragraphs, supporting the assertion that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth both waver between extreme confidence and great doubt. Be sure to include evidence from the text to support your answer. Remember to clearly state your main point and use correct citation in your response.

Answers

Answer:

1. Lady Macbeth:

She is a very confident woman, which is obvious from the way she thinks and fights for her husband. She is very ambitious and wants Macbeth to have a more prominent role in the kingdom. At times, she curses his lack of ambition and confidence and wishes she was a man so that she could do all of these things on her own instead of relying on her husband.

On the other hand, when she and Macbeth commit their first murder of Duncan, she loses that confidence and starts not only doubting herself and their cause, but also feeling great guilt that drives her to madness.

2. Macbeth:

On the other hand, Macbeth initially lacks confidence and ambition. He relies on his wife to tell him what to do and how to fight for what he (or rather she) wants.

However, as time goes by, he becomes more and more confident, especially after the prophecy from the witches and the killing of Duncan. After his first murder, he cannot seem to stop and is driven by crazy ambition, which results in everyone's death.

Both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are confident. They waver between extreme confidence and great doubt.

Lady Macbeth is a self-assured woman, as evidenced by the way she thinks and fights for her husband. She is ambitious and wishes for Macbeth to play a larger role in the Kingdom. She laments his lack of desire and confidence at times, wishing she were a guy so she could handle all of these responsibilities without relying on her spouse.

Macbeth, on the other hand, lacks confidence and ambition at first. He looks to his wife for guidance on what to do and how to fight for what he desires. However, as time passes, he gets more self-assured.

Moreover, the time passes, Macbeth become more and more confident after the witches' prophecy and the assassination of Duncan. He can't seem to stop after his first murder.

In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," how does Montresor manipulate Fortunato?

Answers

Answer:

In "The Cask of Amontillado," Montresor manipulates Fortunato by continually flattering him, feigning concern for his health, and offering him droughts of wine to further impair his judgment. Fortunato's pride, arrogance, and affinity for fine wines are character traits that make him easy prey for Montresor.

Explanation:

Brainliest please?

In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," the Montresor manipulates Fortunato through Flattery and friendship, luring, and appeals to pride and vanity, respectively.

In "The Cask of Amontillado," a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, Montresor deceives Fortunato in a number of ways to lead him to his demise.

Friendship and flattery: Montresor introduces the story by posing as Fortunato's friend, speaking to him with warmth, and using expressions of fondness like "my dear Fortunato." He exudes friendliness and affability, giving Fortunato the impression that they are well-connected.

Knowing Fortunato's weakness for fine wine, Montresor seduces him by promising to let him sample the rare and excellent Amontillado. He professes to be dubious about its veracity and requests Fortunato's knowledge to back up its worth.

Appeals to Vanity and Pride: Montresor suggests that Luchesi, another wine specialist, could assess the Amontillado, appealing to Fortunato's vanity and pride as a wine expert. He discreetly undermines Fortunato by casting doubt on Luchesi's credentials, motivating Fortunato to assert his dominance.

Hence, in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," the Montresor manipulates Fortunato through Flattery and friendship, luring, and appeals to pride and vanity, respectively.

Quote a sentence from Shakespeare sister in which Woolf states her claim

Answers

Answer:

"It would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare. "

Explanation:

The above quote can be used as the statement about which Woolf makes her point in "A Room of One’s Own." This is because Woolf's main argument is that women are placed unequally in relation to men because society so desires and not because women have no capacity. To exemplify this, she shows that it would be impossible for a woman in Shakespeare's day to have implored plays of literary works like him, because society would ignore her. To make the example even more palatable, she shows that if Shakespeare had a brother as or more talented than he, she would never be considered an important writer, but would be ignored, discouraged and even silenced.

The quote is that "It would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare".

It should be noted that a quote is usually used to make reference to a point that has earlier been stated by an author or writer.

In this case, the sentence from Shakespeare's sister in which Woolf states her claim is that would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare.

This was as important in supporting the argument that women were placed unequally in the society.
