Reading Notes: Voyages of Sinbad part A

With the stories for this weeks reading I chose Sinbad because I have always heard different versions of Sinbad and they are always interesting. One thing I enjoyed about part A of the reading was that it was in a first person perspective. It made the detail stand out more. When explaining the islands there was background bits added into the story about the things they did before settling down to relax. Another thing I liked was that the way it was portrayed was as if the events were happening to a real person. It seemed like they were all valid things that were happening to Sinbad but his reactions to the situation were what any normal human being would do. Something to keep in mind would be to make sure to add a human factor to my stories.
