The sentence should be filled in like this:
Every chart and diagram is precise, and the astronomers and I recognize that.
Remark
Let's begin with the theme. What is the theme of this passage, exactly? Four people -- five if you include Dr. Heidegger -- are sitting around a circle bemoaning the fact that they have lost something not granted to anyone. They have lost their second youth. They have swallowed some water which gave them their youth only for a fleeting moment (it seems to them), and they mourn the passage of time that grants them no more youth that they had been living in for some short period.
The four felt that way. Only Dr. Heidegger seemed to have learned something that told him that he should be careful what he wished for: he might actually get it.
We have two themes then. We have 4 who wished for their youth back and we have one who didn't want any part of it. I think we have to cover both.
The best detail for those wanting it is the old woman who apparently got her youth back and she was incredibly beautiful. Now her hands are skinny and likely wrinkled. She puts those hands to her face and wishes herself to be dead because she despises the fact that she is old (and likely all her friends are dead and she is condemned to a life of weariness. I speculate, but is certainly unhappy about the aging process). She mourns that it is over so quickly. They all do. That's sentence 3.
Only Dr. Heidegger seems to understand that they got something they should never have received in the first place. The yellow sentence beginning with "Well I bemoan it not, ... " reflects his point view as well as anything. That's sentence 5.

The narrator is preoccupied by a desire to travel.

The narrator is frustrated by the noise of travelers.

Answer:
The narrator is preoccupied by a desire to travel.
Explanation:
In the poem "Travel," by Edna St. Vincent Millay, the speaker expresses an intense yearning for traveling. In fact, she is so obsessed and absorted in her dreams and eagerness about traveling, that during the day she can hear the whistle of a train. Besides, at night she cannot sleep but sees the train's "ciders red on the sky" and hears the sound of a steaming engine. Thus, she has a fascination with traveling, since she would take any train and go anywhere, and she believes she would make the best of friends.
Answers with Explanations:
1. How are Lourdes and Enrique's departures from Honduras similar? How are they different?
Lourdes and Enrique's departures from Honduras are similar in a way that they are both searching for something. Lourdes was looking for a better job, so she can give her children a better life while Enrique was looking for his mother, the only person he thinks can understand him
The only difference in their departures is that Lourdes legally migrated to the U.S.A. for work while Enrique went there illegally. It was a dangerous endeavor for Enrique, but he was able to manage although he needed to weather many threats.
2. What is your opinion on learning from a parent's life experiences? Do you think that we learn from our parents or that we, as children, make the same mistakes?
I believe that we, as children, <em>learn from a parent's life experiences.</em> This gives us the chance to change and not commit the same mistakes. Although it's true that parents are the first teachers of children at home, observing their situation (especially if it's bad or negative) gives children a warning sign of not repeating the same mistakes.
