espite their small size, sea dragons are carnivorous animals and therefore have a purely meat-based diet. The sea dragon uses its pipe-like snout to suck its prey into its oddly tooth-less mouth. Sea dragons hunt crustaceans, plankton, shrimp and even small fish, using their camouflage to their advantage. Sea dragons have numerous natural predators in the south and western coastal waters of Australia but are rarely even spotted to the elaborate camouflage of the sea dragon. Those few sea dragons that are unlucky enough to be found, are usually spotted by large fish.

Using the tree to describe Phoenix’s age is creative and symbolic since legend has it that the bird nests in a little tree in order to set itself afire to be reborn again. Welty’s creativity helps to not only communicate the old age of the woman, but reveal hints to the ancient bird’s story as well. Welty goes on to style Phoenix
