I think what the author meant by a ship works like a nation is in order for the ship to withstand, it needs to have crew that know how to work a ship properly. It needs to have a crew that work together. Much like a nation would have to work together to have success.
I think the author meant by "A ship is a nation of its own." that a ship is just like a country. It has many people to work together, it needs team work to thrive, and it has many lies involved.
The author probably meant that when you set sail on a ship, you are no longer in England or wherever you started. You are on a new nation. The ship is the only place you can go (not including overboard) until you dock again.
I agree with Jason. A ship, in order to sail properly, needs a crew that needs to work together, just like a nation needs people to work together for it to work. That being said, the metaphor is true in a way.
I think what the author meant by saying "a ship is a nation of it's own" was that a ship is like a nation and it has its own rules and people work together like in a nation. The people on the ship need teamwork to live basically and they need to be compatible with each other.
The ship is a world within a world, it has many events going on just like in a community. No single thing is going on, it is full of more than one problem.
I think that the author meant by " A ship is a nation of its own." that once you leave the dock you are in your own nation on that boat. The ship is its own country when it is out in the middle if the ocean.
I think it means that a ship needs a crew to control the ship, make sure everything is working properly, and make sure that people are safe. It also means that there is ruler of the ship to do the work and steer it to.
I believe that the author means that a ship takes a crew the size of a nation to run. The captain is the president, leader, and/or king of the "nation." The sailors can be the people who make the decisions in a free country, and the guests on the ship could be tourists who give their money to the nation.
I think what the author ment was, The ship has its own rules, and you must be carefull . When you are on land and there are laws you must live and respect them . On a ship no one is watching and anything can happen . The ships captain and crew play by their own rules .
I think the author was trying to say that a ship has its own rules, captain, and responsibilities so it is like a nation of its own. It has to follow the orders of the captain and everyone has to work their own job that is assigned to them.

ReplyDeleteGwen, what kind of people would be on that "nation" and what would they do?
ReplyDeleteI like what you thought of louis i was also thinking that
ReplyDeleteYou are on a ship in the middle of the ocean and you obey the captains rules and orders of his dictatorship and authority.
