Chapter Eleven “All these words are just a front. What I would really like to do is chain you to my body, then sing for days, days & days.” —Hafez The morning was bright and clear. In other words, a perfect day to return home. Dylan felt awful slipping out of Salim’s cabin. He was working on his papers—Dylan didn’t know what exactly, but he was busy writing lists, referring to others, and generally working. There were the usual thirty or so men on the deck looking to their individual jobs, whether it was seeing to the repair of fishing nets, scrubbing the deck, or winding rope. Dylan stood watching them for some time, each man moving about industriously under the watchful eye of the captain’s first-mate, Ibrahim. Dylan made his way back to the stern of the ship. He stood looking out at the churning gray-green ocean below. It did not look enticing. In fact, it looked damned cold, but it was his only way home. Pausing for only a moment to watch the sailors once more, he wondered if he was going to miss them—this ship, this life. No. He would miss Salim, but that was all.

We know that he wants to be heard, but is brushed to the side. We also can assume that he is locked in this scuba gear but is unable to make any verbal communication nor is he able to accept any verbal communication. The plunge into the water could have signified a parallel to his actual feelings. He is now completely disconnected from anyone around him and when he tries to resurface to get back to the world something forces him to go back under once again prohibiting his ability to speak for himself, much like how he was repeatedly disregarded and pushed away by his father earlier in the scene. Finally when we open our eyes up we see that everything assumed from just the audio is pretty true. In fact we learn that it was his father who kept pushing him under the water and preventing him to resurface where the rest of the party was.

As I jumped into the water, I only had one thing on my mind: saving the victim. As I swam towards her I saw her head slip under. I called for a backboard before I dove beneath the surface to bring her head above the water. I

The shock of water on his face shot him straight up, arms waving about. Then he came straight down like a rock. He surfaced and looked right at Freddy.
This passage is an extract from Joseph O’ Connor’s Star of the sea which was penned in the year 2002. The passage makes use of a third person narrative view point as a result of which the readers are provided with a vivid image of passengers aboard a stormy sea ship. The passage talks about a ship afloat a stormy sea and how the passengers on the deck are caught unaware due to this storm.

I could see he had forgiven me at that moment; yet, I would only realize it a quarter of a century later. How stupidly loyal Hassan was.
