I believe Professor Conway assigned this story to express the different emotion and thoughts one person can have. This story also brings different scenarios in our minds about how things run in our head. As for example the author mentions (illusion), illusions’ are meant for things people are fouled to see or just the way something may have appear might give off a different way. for example ” the sea let them self think it was an enemy ship” the sea allowed it self to think it was something then actually seeing the element for what it is. the sea remembers the different harms a boat may have cost but as always the most con out ways the pros. This is a really good story, I felt like it was assigned to us to show us that with one story we can have many different perspective and viewing of it, different (illusions) of one story with multiple meaning.
One thought on “Kezia Dillon Discussion 2”
I completely agree with you that the plot of the story does put off an image of things it wants us to see and not what it actually is. The book also had some words like” death” . Sometimes we just have different perspectives on things and I think this is what the author brought out to our attention in the story. I also wanted to point out the fact you talked about the ship scene which also caught my attention too in the beginning of the seem that the sea may have actually been thinking that way.
