Summary of chapter a ship on fire at sea

Answer 1

Answer:

Italian film maker Gianfranco Rosi makes documentaries about individuals at different focuses amid the time spent dreadful recovery. Flame at Sea seeks after two social occasions of subjects, one whose past traditions are being alluded to and one whose present land game plan is dark.  

Set adjacent Lampedusa, an island 70 miles east from the African coast and 120 miles south from Sicily, the film contrasts the islanders' quotidian lives and those of the African untouchables crossing the encompassing, normally substantial waters of the Mediterranean Sea.  

These twofold strings build up parallel bearings that welcome the watcher to mull over their relationship with one another.

Answer 2

Answer:

Larkin's poem, "The North Ship," concerns the sailing of three ships. Each of the ships "goes sailing by" past the speaker of the poem. The poem depicts these ships as each undertaking qualitatively different journeys, experiencing success, hardship and suffering depending on the direction taken.

Starkly elemental and broadly (inscrutably) metaphorical, the poem portrays three different paths that may be taken and suggests that intentions and outcomes are intimately linked.

The style of the poem can be connected to imagism, a poetic trend of the early/mid 20th century that relied on specific images to convey meaning organically (i.e., without much exposition, if any).

In the poem, the speaker watches as the first ship heads west, "carried to a rich country." The second ship heads east "to anchor in captivity" and the third ship heads north.

The first two ships travel under a wind that is, respectively, helpful and violent. The third ship going north travels with no wind at all.

The third ship drove towards the north, Over the sea, the darkening sea, But no breath of wind came forth, And the decks shone frostily.

The northbound ship, unlike the others, is "rigged for a long journey." It does not return, as the others do "happily or unhappily" but instead journeys "far and wide/into an unforgiving sea.
