Passages
Passage 1:
When President Kennedy vowed in the early 1960s that America would put a man on the moon,
few could have dreamed that it was actually possible. But on a humid July night in 1969, 1 sat
with my parents in front of the television, glued to the images of an astronaut bounding around
on the lunar surface in front of an American flag. That night, I walked outside and looked up at
the moon, which suddenly felt so close. Then I turned my head slightly to the nearest star. What
was next? I thought. Everything out there suddenly seemed close enough to touch, and in that
moment anything was possible.
Passage 2:
It has been 68 days since we left the shores of Europe aboard the Mayflower, and there have
been many moments when I was sure all hope was lost. Great storms rolled upon us with no
warning at least a dozen times, and when sickness spread across the ship, most of us felt that
we would never see solid ground again. But now on the shores of this new land, with the past at
our backs and a new life ahead of us, it feels as if anything is possible. It is November, so first
we must build a home. Then, perhaps we will move westward and see what else this great land
has to offer
