I made a text to self connection with this book, when Aminata often reminds herself of important quotes her father often said about people. Aminata needs the mental strength she can acquire after suffering the loss of her mother and father, in addition she is now travelling as a captive of slave traders. The quote helps Aminata in many ways, " I grew quiet, and calmer. 'fear no man', father said, 'and come to know him" (Hill 54), just after she left Africa on a boat to unknown lands. Also Aminata uses many other references of her parents to help her interact with other people, especially when faced with Fanta a person she dislikes, "You must learn respect"(Hill 21) as well "Then you must learn to hide your disrespect"(Hill 21), her father said. I connected this to myself, as I repeatedly remind myself of what my parents say. I take the important knowledge they give me and use it

When I was a little girl at early of my age, I spent a wonderful time with my grandma near a sea in my hometown during the last two months of her life. That was the first time we saw the smile back to her face since we got the news that she got intestine cancer. Back to that time I was deeply impressed by how being around the sea was capable to change people’s emotion in such a positive way. The poet, Pablo Neruda, in his poem “The Sea” illustrates how the sea teaches a trapped man a lesson on how to be released from struggling to find freedom and happiness.

And when we try to get a deeper understanding of the poem, it is the sound that we hear first.

Herman Melville, in his renowned novel Moby-Dick, presents the tale of the determined and insanely stubborn Captain Ahab as he leads his crew, the men of the Pequod, in revenge against the white whale. A crew mixed in age and origin, and a young, logical narrator named Ishmael sail with Ahab. Cut off from the rest of society, Ahab attempts to make justice for his personal loss of a leg to Moby Dick on a previous voyage, and fights against the injustice he perceived in the overwhelming forces that surround him. Melville uses a series of gams, social interactions or simple exchanges of information between whaling ships at sea, in order to more clearly present man’s situation as he faces an existence whose meaning he cannot fully grasp.
