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

Buczacz – the place where Shai Agnon was born. Shai Agnon said a marvelous thing in Stockholm when he received the Nobel Prize. He said, “Majesty, like all Jews I was born in Jerusalem, but then the Romans came and moved my cradle to Buczacz.” … There are many museums in the world, but the source is here.

Answer:

The breakfast Club was a film produced in 1985 and tells the story of five teenagers who had some kind of bad behavior at school and had to spend an entire Saturday in detention. These teenagers do not know each other and are part of totally different groups and live different realities as well. At first the plot seems simple, but it becomes very profound when the characters begin to tell their dramas and interact with each other, even in the midst of their differences. Detention becomes a type of "group therapy" and it's amazing to see how the characters manage to let go with real people, who have problems.

The film is extremely plausible in most factors, especially when it shows that even with the moment of complicity that teenagers have, they will not maintain their friendship, as they are very different from each other.

As the film takes place in the real world and portrays real dramas, special effects were not used, but this does not diminish the quality of the film, which establishes itself as fun, dramatic and full of layers with different meanings.

For Christmas I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose.

Which sense does the description appeal to?

sight
hearing
touch
smell

Answers

Answer: The sense sight applies to the description.

Explanation: "Blond-haired boy" and "a slim new American nose" as it says is describing a look and you cannot hear, touch, or smell a look, you would be using your sight (your eyes) for this.

The sentence appeals to the sense of sight through its description. (option A)

Appealing to senses

Authors often use descriptions to appeal to the five senses. That means they purposefully choose words that evoke an image or a smell, for example. That helps immerse readers in the story and evoke certain sensations and feelings.

In the excerpt from "Fish Cheeks," Tan appeals to the sense of sight when she mentions Robert's blond hair and a slim American nose. Clearly, the way the boy looks and her own appearance are very important to teenage Tan.

With the information above in mind, we can select option A as the correct answer.

In Animal Farm, Boxer works harder than anyone else, but when he got injured and couldn't work anymore, they directly sent him to slaughter. The pigs and dogs are the only ones who live a happy life, the other animals are forced to work in miserable situations, with a mere amount of food to keep them alive.

Can someone if this story is good? I made it. It is called The Tree Tragedy!


One day, when Ellie and, Mason were hanging out in the forest, they noticed a Tree House. "Hey! Ellie do you see that?" Said Mason. "Yes! I do, it's a Tree House, should we climb it?" Ellie replied. "Oh yes, of course we should, what's life without a little risk." Mason said as he climbed up the tree.

.


"Wow, this place sure is demolished, we should go back down.." Ellie said with fear.


"Awe, c'mon Ellie! Don't be such a wuss!" Said Mason as he jumped around moving the Tree House with him. There were vines covering the walls around them, cracks and holes in the ground. Ellie was scared, but she didn't want Mason to think she was a sissy. "I'm not a wuss, i was just saying uhm.. we should go back down because we could find something even cooler!" She said with a sarcastic like tone.



About 5 minutes later.. Ellie heard a noise. "Mason.. did you hear that..?" Ellie said shaking. "Calm down Ellie, it was probably just an animal!" The Tree House then tipped, almost throwing them off, They both screamed, Ellie was hanging from one of the branches, Mason was holding on to the rim of the Tree House.



Someone heard them screaming, they ran towards them and saw Ellie hanging from one of the branches, just then, Ellie fell. The person ran and caught her in their arms. "Please save my friend!" Ellie cried. "Don't worry, i'll get him, just stay here" Said the stranger. They climbed up and signaled to Mason to grab their hand, Mason held tight on the ledge moving towards the stranger, he grabbed their hand and they both ascended down. Ellie and Mason both looked at the stranger and said, "Thanks! You saved my life!"

Answers

This is a really good story! If you continue it I would definitely read it! I would add a couple things to it to make the stranger seem more mysterious. Just to make it interesting.

Answer:

I feel like the ending is a bit boring, and I didn't develop any feelings or care for the characters getting harmed, also I think that you should slow down the story, it seems like everything just happened and it sorta goes TOO fast. I'm only saying these things because i'd like to see you succeed, also one more thing! When I first read this story, I didn't feel like the introduction grabbed my attention, and the tree house kind of seemed like they were at some abandoned building in the middle of a forest. LAST THING!! I'd like to know what could possibly be knocking down the tree, perhaps you could add something that makes it seem like the tree house is closing in on them, and an entity can be seen from inside of the branches. Something that just elaborates on what is hurting them, so we can get more of a bone chilling feel from whatever entity is throwing them around. I hope this helps!

Which word is the closest in meaning to groping, as it is used in this sentence?

I seemed groping among the tombs and invading the privacy of the dead, that first night I climbed up to my quarters.

1) touching
2)looking
3)fumbling
4)caressing

Answers

The correct answer is touching. Grope and touching is the same. Fumbling is more like when you’re in a dark room and moving your hands around to try and find the light switch. Groping is more like massaging or aka touching.

The closest word in meaning to "groping" in the given sentence is "fumbling." "Groping" typically refers to the act of searching or feeling around with one's hands, often in a clumsy or uncertain manner.

In the sentence provided, the narrator describes their actions of exploring or searching among the tombs, suggesting a sense of uncertainty or clumsiness.

The word "fumbling" aligns closely with this idea, as it implies a lack of precision or dexterity in the act of searching or touching. Options 1) "touching," 2) "looking," and 4) "caressing" do not capture the same sense of uncertainty or clumsiness conveyed by the word "groping" in this context.
