Passage One
A boat, I think. It’s a boat, but I’m seeing it from upside down and it looks quite different. That’s why i didn’t know what it was. I’m looking straight up through the water at its hull. The boat is about the size of a fishing boat. I can see the rudder and the propeller. A small boat that wouldn’t hurt me even if it passed right over me. But the engine isn’t running. The boat is drifting silently.
I picked this passage because it was very descriptive. The author uses repetition at the beginning. By describing the boat, the reader can get the sense of what Sapphy is looking at and can actually feel like they’re there.
