Consider the following questions and/or do the following:
1. What do we learn about the narrator from the opening? What specific lines provide you with significant information and character details?
2. What is he suggesting about the sea? How does he suggest this?
3. What do you notice about his sentence structure? Identify at least three sentences that you find compelling, interestingly worded, or particularly striking for some reason.
4. Look up one allusion that is made in the passage.
