"Their Eyes Were Watching God" 1st quotation responce

Quote: "Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly." (page 1).

Response: The first few lines are saying that every man has a dream in mind, or are working to achieve their dream. For some men their dreams come to them with not that much struggle like the tide but for others it is always in sight but they can never quite achieve/ get to it. The last few lines are talking about woman and how they are different from men. It is saying that woman basically have a selective memory and only remember the things they want to. The last two lines are talking again about dreams. It is saying if you act accordingly, correctly or strive to achieve your goal that it will happen. Every one has dream, its up to you to make them happen or come true.
