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!

Take notes about this passage and identify the key words.

The Declaration of Independence is a document that was signed by a group of
people in the New World who decided to split off from the King of England. They
wanted to become an independent country. These leaders wanted other people
to respect them, and so the declaration was their explanation of why they were
splitting off from England. They believed:
 That all men are created equal
 That all men have some rights given to them by God
 That among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Among the men who signed this declaration of independence were Benjamin
Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

What is the theme of the poem?

By and by Man will try
To get out into the sky,
Sailing far beyond the air
From Down and Here to Up and There.
Stars and sky, sky and stars
Make us feel the prison bars

Suppose it done. Now we ride
Closed in steel, up there, outside
Through our port-holes see the vast
Heaven-scape go rushing past.
Shall we? All that meets the eye
Is sky and stars, stars and sky.

Points of light with black between
Hang like a painted scene
Motionless, no nearer there
Than on Earth, everywhere
Equidistant from our ship.
Heaven has given us the slip.

Hush, be still. Outer space
Is a concept, not a place.
Try no more. Where we are
Never can be sky or star.
From prison, in a prison, we fly;
There's no way into the sky.

HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST...
She's only filled with an old blind wish.
It isn't even hers but came to her
in the rain
or the soft wind,
which is a gate through which her life keeps
walking.

She can't see
herself apart from the rest of the world
or the world from what she must do
every spring.
Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed
against her skin.
she doesn't dream
she knows
she is a part of the pond she lives in,
the tall trees are her children,
the birds that swim above her
are tied to her by an unbreakable string.
