Maybe create a multi-part story out of this for next week. Because this story does have approximately five parts, but each can be read alone. I am going to focus on the Land of the Cyclopes section for this extra credit reading portion.
- Descriptions of the land first, no characters are described at the being
- no character dialogue
- scene is being set, provide details so the reader feels part of the setting
- describes the island of the Cyclopes, but we don't know the narrator yet
- there is some mystery in this beginning portion
- at the end the narrator tells that they have reached the cave and spend the night there
- found is sought and ate
- the narrator says they say smoke and heard voices from the neighboring land which stirred them to sail to the neighboring island
- what they say was the Cyclops, but they described it as "There a giant spent the night, one that grazed his herds far off, alone, and keeping clear of others, lived in lawless solitude. He was born a monster and a wonder, not like any ordinary human, but like some wooded peak of the high mountains, that stands there isolated to our gaze."
