Reading Notes: The Voyages of Sindbad Part B
In Sindbad's fifth voyage there are several similar elements of this story as there are in his first voyage as he once again finds a Roc egg and finds himself clinging to drift wood in the water until he is able to scale the side of an island to safety. Personally, my favorite voyage of these three is his seventh and final voyage as Sindbad's interaction with the elephants is intriguing to me as he is told that no other slave has survived hunting the elephants; however, they decide to spare him and show him where to get more elephant tusks as this will protect them. Is this because they know they will continue to be hunted if they kill him or is Sindbad truly protected by the Heavens as his master says? Sindbad's continual call to adventure is exciting to me and is one of my favorite parts of these tales as even though he often finds himself in impossible scenarios, he is always looking to explore and see more of the world.
