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 the textbook passage below and answer the following question.
1Americans have long believed in the attainability of a just social and political order. 2But at no time
was the spirit of a just society stronger than during the 1820s, 1830s, and 1840s, when literally
hundreds of utopian communities were created. 3Shaker communities were one of the earliest utopian
"experiments." 4Aspiring to live like the early Christians, Shakers adopted communal ownership of
property and a way of life emphasizing simplicity. 5Dress was kept simple and uniform; architecture and
furniture were devoid of ornament. 6Robert Owen's experimental community at New Harmony
presented a striking contrast to the Shaker colonies. 7Owen sought to establish common ownership of
property and abolish religion. 8At New Harmony the marriage ceremony was reduced to a single
sentence, and children were raised outside of their natural parents' homes. 9Another utopian
experiment was perhaps the most notorious and successful-John Humphrey Noyes's Oneida
Community. 10Noyes established perfectionist communities that practiced communal ownership of
property and "complex marriage." 11Complex marriage meant that every member of the community
was married to every member of the opposite sex. 12The community also conducted experiments in
eugenics-the selective control of mating in order to improve the hereditary qualities of children.

Read the story below and write an ACES paragraph about the theme you choose.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The shepherd boy watched the flock of sheep by day and guarded them at night. His only relief came when his master’s wife came by with his dinner wrapped in a cloth.
The shepherd boy was tired of working all the time. It wasn’t really difficult work, but it was tedious. His job was to watch the sheep, and, if one strayed, to guide it back to the flock. He also had to be on the lookout for wolves and ready to run for help if one approached.
The boy was lonely and bored. One afternoon, he had an idea that he hoped would put an end to his loneliness. He ran into the village and yelled, “Wolf! Wolf!” The townspeople ran with him into the field. They spent hours looking for the beast, behind briers and rocks, but there was no wolf. The boy had enjoyed having all the people with him and was sad to see them return to town.
A week later, he was again feeling bored and lonely. He ran into the village and yelled, ”Wolf! Wolf!” Again, the people followed him back into the field. Again, there was no wolf. The mayor yelled at him. “Don’t you come into town again with your tales. The people are too busy for your games!” It seemed to the boy that he would never have visitors again.
The next week, he sat watching his sheep. Suddenly a wolf ran out from the forest. It headed straight for his flock. He ran as fast he could into town. “Wolf! Wolf!” he screamed. But nobody came. “There really is a wolf! Please help me!” he pleaded. But the people turned their backs to him.

Can someone help me with this

Annie found the whirr and sway of the vacuum cleaner over the thick, faded blue carpet comforting as she recalled this morning’s events. She didn’t mind cleaning, generally, but today she felt even more driven to scrub, sweep, and vacuum away the cloud of hurt feelings that seemed to have engulfed her. Her two older sisters Sadie and Rebecca, had barely helped clear the breakfast dishes before scrambling to get out the front door and taking off for the beach in Sadie’s car.



2 Annie understood why her older sisters left to hang out with kids their own age, singing along to the radio as they pulled out of the driveway, but it still stung a little. Today, though, Annie was especially frustrated because it was the first Saturday of the summer—the day they typically spent with Mom to celebrate another year of her teaching. What’s more, yesterday marked the end of Mom’s twentieth year as a teacher. While Annie had looked forward to celebrating together, Sadie and Rebecca had rushed off with their friends, but not before presenting gifts that made Annie’s seem childish.



How does the author’s choice to show Annie’s point of view affect the meaning of the excerpt? Select two options.

The speaker doesn’t want to be a ""Somebody."" Explain why she believes that being a ""Somebody"" is overrated. Cite specific lines in your answer.
