Answer: it emphasizes the displacement of the speaker's family.

Throughout the poem, the author maintains an extended metaphor about swimming. As she tells us the story of how her family escaped the island, she talks to us about swimming, drowning, the beach, the pool, etc. This is intended to emphasize the displacement of the family. Alvarez feels lost and adrift, much like we would feel if we were lost at sea.

Why did President Bush support secret wiretapping?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials.

Explanation:

Under a presidential order signed in 2002, the intelligence agency has monitored the international telephone calls and international e-mail messages of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people inside the United States without warrants over the past three years in an effort to track possible "dirty numbers" linked to Al Qaeda, the officials said.
