Reading Notes Week 5: Sindbad
When reading Sindbad's first voyage, I loved how the story started. It starts with Sindbad inheriting a large wealth of money and being irresponsible as a young man and wasting a good portion of his wealth. I really like when stories start out this way because it shows normal human nature especially when the person is young and irresponsible. Another part of the introduction I liked was the fact that he recognized his mistakes and decided to try and figure out how we was going to save his money so he had some left when he was older. Furthermore, I loved the twist they threw in where they mention an island and it turns out to be the back of a massive whale! This story does a great job demonstrating creativity in writing. After Sindbad gets thrown off the whale, he hits the water and miraculously floats to another island that is actually an island. At the new island, a man stumbles upon him and leads him to the rest of the inhabitants. Sindbad finds safety there with the inhabitants for now. I love the writing style and how they make this story so interesting. There are twists and turns within the story to keep the audience interested. This would be a really fun story to rewrite.
