Reading Notes: The Voyages of Sindbad, Part A

I originally thought that Sindbad was a pirate that sailed the seas raiding other ships. I have never done much research on this topic so to learn that he was a merchant with high morals and who often shared with others surprised me. These stories like to talk about animals and the animals are often the mythical parts about these stories. I like in the second story how we see the creativity and smarts of Sindbad to find his way back to safety after being left behind. The first and second voyage both have similar feels as Sindbad is left on his own in both of them; however, he finds different ways to save himself both times.
