Reading Diary A: The Voyages of Sinbad


The First Voyage- I really enjoyed this story. I wanted a continuous story for this section because I think it will be easier to write the story at the end of the week. I am already looking forward to rewriting this story.

The Second Voyage- How long I slept I know not, but when I opened my eyes and started to my feet I perceived with horror that I was alone and that the ship was gone. I like this quote. I love the imagery the author used in this story. I love the meaning behind the diamonds in this story.

The Third Voyage- "I would rather have come to anchor anywhere than here," quoth our captain. "This island and all adjoining it are inhabited by hairy savages, who are certain to attack us, and whatever these dwarfs may do we dare not resist since they swarm like locusts, and if one of them is killed, the rest will fall upon us and speedily make an end of us." great passage. I love the message about being lost in this story.

The Fourth Voyage- I enjoy the message between wealth and knowing yourself. My unlucky companions, having lost their reason, felt neither anxiety nor fear, and ate greedily all that was offered them. So they were soon fat and there was an end of them, but I grew leaner day by day, for I ate but little, and even that little did me no good by reason of my fear of what lay before me, good quote. I love the message of getting lost to find yourself.
