The crew of Magellan's voyage became the first people to sail all the way around the world. You are a crew member. Write a diary entry expressing your feelings after sailing around the world.

The day is September 20, 1519. We set sail from Spain in one of Ferdinand Magellan's five ships. We were on an expedition to find a western sea route to the spice islands of Indonesia. Our ships carrying 270 men, was commanded by Magellan.

We sailed to West Africa and then to Brazil. We searched for a strait on the South American coast that would take us to the Pacific Ocean. Our search was at a large estuary in Brazil. On Easter day, some of our Spanish captains mutinied against Magellan but were defeated and executed. In a couple of days, we found the strait which became known as the strait of Magellan. Three ships were left. Finally we found the Pacific Ocean. Magellan later died after we got involved in a fight for an Indonesian chief. Our ship, Victoria, sailed back to Spain on September 1522, becoming the first ship to round the world.

Question:

Select all the correct answers.

Which two themes of O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon are reflected in this excerpt from the play?

ROBERT: Not so long when you come to consider it. You know the Sunda sails around the Horn for Yokohama first, and that’s a long voyage on a sailing ship; and if we go to any of the other places Uncle mentions—India, or Australia, or South Africa, or South America—they’ll be long voyages, too.

ANDREW: You can have all those foreign parts for all of me. (After a pause) Ma's going to miss you a lot, Rob.

ROBERT: Yes—and I’ll miss her.

ANDREW: And Pa ain’t feeling none too happy to have you go—though he’s been trying not to show it.

ROBERT: I can see how he feels.

ANDREW: And you can bet that I’m not giving any cheers about it. (He puts one hand on the fence near ROBERT).

ROBERT: (putting one hand on top of ANDREW’S with a gesture almost of shyness) I know that, too, Andy.

ANDREW: I’ll miss you as much as anybody, I guess. You see, you and I ain’t like most brothers—always fighting and separated a lot of the time, while we’ve always been together—just the two of us. It’s different with us. That’s why it hits so hard, I guess.

ROBERT: (with feeling) It’s just as hard for me, Andy—believe that! I hate to leave you and the old folks—but—I feel I’ve got to. There’s something calling me—— (He points to the horizon) Oh, I can’t just explain it to you, Andy.
