Tomorrow, there will be a quiz on punctuating dialogue.  Review your notes and your practice quiz.

Homework:

Focus Questions for "The Sea Devil"

  1. Why does the man fish by night? How does this lead to conflict with the ray?

  2. What dilemma does the man face before the climax? What enables him to get free of the sea devil?

  3. What lesson has the man learned at the end of the story? Why does he release the mullet?

  4. One of the conflicts in the story is between the civilized and the primitive. What is the purpose of the reference to the plane, the causeway, and the man's wife at home?
