It may seem surprising that no Confederate sympathizers took action against Van Lew, given her strong and public views on secess

ion and slavery. Surely there were suspicions, especially among her upper-crust neighbors, but the matter never went beyond those suspicions. Historians have suggested that the secessionists were victims of their own cultural bias, believing that no aristocratic person, and certainly not a lady, would ever consider taking part in anything as impolite as spying. A true lady managed her servants, prepared parties and gatherings, and blindly supported her husband. Such attitudes worked in Van Lew's favor, diverting suspicion from her.

Give an example of what might influence the interpretation of an event.
Savatey [412]
Interpretation is defined as a process of the creation of meaning. Life is a series of events, and with each event we attach a meaning . With each event we decide upon an interpretation . It is with these interpretations or attached meanings that we define who and what we are and what we can have and do. Then we go about life collecting evidence to confirm and validate these interpretations . A person's interpretation of an event can be affected through anger , the feeling of being a victim, not making the right decision, negative interpretation and past events among others. That's why it is so important to learn to be in the moment ' in order to experience the genius of you, who you really are, to experience the infinite . No doubt there is a bigger picture out there for your life; it is up to you to master the art of the interpretation

What is the Author<br> implying in the phrase the wind must have been right
Julli [10]
Wind is often used for directional and navigational purposes, so this could mean that the author followed something by the wind whether it be how high or low the air- pressure is or which way the wind is blowing. Aswell as the fact that Wind is a major factor in weather determination. For example, if the wind blows ina counter- clockwise direction, then the air pressure is low which means that the weather is or will be bad like rain or storms. 
Hope this helps!
