Ever since Deana was a child, she dreamed of flying into outer space. As a young girl growing up near Orlando, she had many oppo

rtunities to watch space shuttle launches. She would wake up extra early on launch days, sneak out her second-story window, and perch herself on the roof. She would stare at the shooting cloud and wonder who was inside and when it would be her turn.
Twenty years had passed since those days as a wistful child. Now Deana was seeing a shuttle from a whole different angle, from inside. Deana was sometimes still in shock that this was her life now. She thought about all the years of hard work, all of the times she decided to train and study instead of dating and going to parties like other people her age. She held back a tear as she tried to swallow. The view was spectacular. Earth was barely insight at this point and ahead of her was pure openness.



Suddenly, Deana blinked into reality. Sergeant Reece grabbed her arm and looked at her with terror in his eyes. There was a fuel leak. At this rate, there wouldn't be enough fuel to get the crew home. Deana took a deep breath. She was terrified but prepared. Deana ordered the crew to patch up the fuel tank. She adjusted the speed so that the shuttle did not burn as much fuel. She radioed ground control for help. They were able to redirect the shuttle back to Earth.



Deana's quick thinking and bravery saved everyone on that shuttle, but all Deana could think about is how her journey had to be cut short. As she looked back at the quickly approaching Earth, she thought to herself, "Well, there's always next time."

Which thematic statement is best demonstrated by the events of Shakespeare's The Tempest?
Yuri [45]

Answer:  B) Even in a new place with new people, travelers never escape their old problems.

Explanation:

<em>The Tempest</em> tells a story about Prospero, a magician who was utterly betrayed by his brother and forced to flee his dukedom. Caught in a tempest, he arrives on an enchanted island together with his daughter, Miranda.

The characters in the play have multiple times found themselves in a situation where they could behave in disagreement with their social status. However, they continue to act in accordance with their societal roles. The most obvious example of this is Prospero himself, who is determined to recover his title, although he now rules the entire island and has a servant (Ariel) and a slave (Caliban). Instead of being pleased with this situation, he plots a revenge to regain his title, because this is how it works in his society.

In addition, Miranda and Ferdinand are not intimate even when there is nobody around them, because they are used to controlling their urges. Both Caliban and Stephano and Trinculo do not reach freedom as they are convinced by the society that they belong to a lower class.
