In your own words explain how the ships frederick watches on the river are a metaphor. what could they represent about his life? how does he use personification to further the metaphor?

The excerpt begins with Frederick's description of how broken he was by brutality of Mr. Covey while he worked. He wanted to be free as white ship sails. Dramatic, tumultuous sentences describe his position in bondage, all the horror in which he is, and  wanting to create a vision of freedom he compares himself with the white sails. The ships should be free of the water it carries on the bottom so that the sails starts to move under the wind. Water represents the burden of slavery. Through this description he acquires the energy of the sails by which he expresses his desire and the determination to be free. He uses words like "gentle gale" "marrily" to describe the light and free movement he would like, but the sad words "sadly" and "bloody whip" to describe himself and his real life.

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
