This scene occurs when Balfour is on the small islet. Balfour gives into despair when he tires to cross the river but cannot -- it is too deep. He finds that his "yard" (a piece of wood he was saving to float on) has been carried away. Believing he has no way to escape the islet, he gives into despair and weeps.

The excerpt provided in the question belongs to a speech President Kennedy gave in West Berlin on June 26th, 1963. The President's word choices such as "failures", "world to see", "obvious", "offense against humanity" "dividing" help to set the tone and meaning of his speech. Kennedy addressed the audience in Berlin, but also the world, to express the support given by the United States to West Berlin against the wall that the Soviet Union had built. He uses repetition, for example with the word offense, to give a clear message on how the communist system is attacking the freedom of the world and of all of Berlin's citizens, and how democracy is the only solution to the separation of families and communities that want to be together.

Well, you notice how Lindner is very hesitant in his speech? That shows that he’s pretty reluctant to have to deal with the conflict of moving this family into that neighborhood. He’s at his wits end and he doesn’t understand why people are reacting the way they do or how to satisfy everyone in this situation. He’s not a man who deals well with conflict, but he’s also definitely not apologizing for feeling the way he feels. Rather, he’s frustrated that they’re not seeing it from <em>his</em> side, y’see? He’s not angry, though, as he tries to stay cordial even while explaining how he sees it. It’s almost more like he’s whining, a little?? lol
Anyways, I think the answer is desperate and abrupt. Hope this helped, and if not, I’m really sorry!!
