On page 45 it states, “ Rain pelted their bare heads and shoulders. Their oars slapped against the wind-tossed waves, spraying icy water back into their faces, stinging their eyes. Their hands grew so numb that they could never be sure they had a proper hold on their oars. They could not feel their ears or noses.” This quote makes the reader shiver and feel the

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 author has interspersed the action with 2 dialogues. It is interesting to

Didion describes the Pacific as “ominously glossy” and mentions the “eerie absence of surf”. The use of the words ‘ominous’ and ‘eerie’ set a frightening mood. The people respond to the uneasy environment the winds create. The author’s neighbor “roamed the place with a machete”, claiming he “heard a trespasser” one night and “the next a rattlesnake.” Uneasy due to the threat of the winds, the man carries around a weapon and begins acting in a strange manner. The atmosphere of the winds, which the author describes through her diction, causes an odd change of behavior in

"There was no breeze. The sea was as flat as a plate-glass window. We were drawing near the island then. What I felt was a-a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread." (Connell 2).

Were you present yesterday at the fight at the waterfront?” They shook their head no. “Over the most unbelievable thing,” he shook his head as if scolding school boys. “It seems that one of the sailors, a questionable man he must be, to go on this voyage and perhaps with a bit too much drink in him, told your Captain that,” here the shop keeper played the part of a drunk, “Aye, the 'La Gallega' was a most awkward ship for such a voyage!”

This is clearly exaggeration because there is no doubt that the small poor town could not afford such lavish gifts. Pedro saying that the pain in his groin had reached his throat and how he could not sleep for eleven months are signs of magical realism. The narrator said that he believed him when he said these things.

In the first place, the author used sinister language to paint Skidmore as a suspicious person, competent of murdering his brother. "He always wore a black overcoat and hats that were

The narrator did at the beginning of the story suggested that he was not reliable, because his words were somehow self-contradictory, and he seemed to be mentally disturbed, if not tortured.

The two adjectives he used to describe his experience are contradictory, thus putting readers at sea. Then he explained that he did not expect readers to believe his story because he himself did not believe it either. Yet he denied the possibility that his narration was unreliable by claiming that he was neither mad nor dreaming.
