a. If you knew that something intended to have you for dinner, you’d probably stay as far away as possible. Stefano doesn’t do that. How do you explain his behavior – why does he continue to risk his life at sea?
I think that he is curious in the colomber and why it picked him.
b. What do you think would have happened to Stefano if he had faced the colomber earlier in his life?
He probably wouldn’t have wasted his whole life obsessing over the colomber.
c. Let’s assume that the colomber wasn’t real. If it wasn’t, what was Stefano’s “monster” that kept him coming back to the sea? Explain your answer.
The monster is fear or even death, from what I have understood. Fear or the colomber has taken control of Stefano’s mind. It’s all he thinks about. He isn’t enjoying life because he’s spending too much time thinking that death is coming. By the time he’s old and ready to die, he faced fear and wasn’t going to die.
d. There’s more to this story than meets the eye. What is the author trying to tell us through the story of Stefano in The Colomber? Explain.
The author is telling you to enjoy life and stop thinking about the end of your legacy. Don’t think about the future and enjoy right now.

A. If you knew that something intended to have you for dinner, you’d probably stay as far away as possible. Stefano doesn’t do that. How do you explain his behavior – why does he continue to risk his life at sea?
Stefano keeps close distance with it. He would not let the colomber get in the way of his passion of sailing.
B. What do you think would have happened to Stefano if he had faced the colomber earlier in his life? If he were to do that, he might have been happier in the end.
He wouldn’t have used up his life by obsessing over it.
C. Let’s assume that the colomber wasn’t real. If it wasn’t, what was Stefano’s “monster” that kept him coming back to the sea? Explain your answer.
The Colomber is seen as fear or death. Both of those things take control of your life.
d. There’s more to this story than meets the eye. What is the author trying to tell us through the story of Stefano in The Colomber? Explain.
That no matter what you can’t run away from fear and your own passing,

A. I explain his behavior as being curious. He continued to risk his life because he always wanted to see if the colomber kept following him.
B. Nothing would of happened, the same thing that happened when he was old would of happened when he was young but he also wouldn't of wasted most of his life worrying about it.

a. If you knew that something intended to have you for dinner, you’d probably stay as far away as possible. Stefano doesn’t do that. How do you explain his behavior- why does he continue tp risk his life at sea?
Stefano remained brave and sailed the seas, because he did not was the Colomber to hold him back from following in his father’s footsteps.
b. What do you think would have happened to Stefano if he had faced the colomber earlier in his life?
I believe that if Stefano faced the Colomber early in his life, he would’ve lived a life full of riches and power!
c. Let’s assume that the colomber wasn’t real. If it wasn’t, what was Stefano’s “monster” that kept him coming back to the sea? Explain your answer.
I think that Stephano’s monster was the constant fear of not living up to his father’s sailing ability. Every time he saw the Colomber, he was reminded that he was the one who had to carry on in his father’s footsteps and continue to make money sailing in order to keep his family happy.
d. There’s more to this story than meets the eye. What is the author trying to tell us through the story of Stefano in The Colomber? Explain.
The author is trying to tell us that if we face our fears early on in life instead of ignoring it, we may end up living a life full or surprises and happiness.

a. If you knew that something intended to have you for dinner, you’d probably stay as far away as possible. Stefano doesn’t do that. How do you explain his behavior – why does he continue to risk his life at sea?
He wants to figure out what his creature is, that is following everywhere he goes and waits out in the sea day and night moving back and forth.
b. What do you think would have happened to Stefano if he had faced the colomber earlier in his life?
The creature would have killed him due to it being young and strong but since he is facing it when he is older and the creature is a lot weaker.
c. Let’s assume that the colomber wasn’t real. If it wasn’t, what was Stefano’s “monster” that kept him coming back to the sea? Explain your answer.
It could have been another creature that tasted something from him like his blood and was smart enough to figure out who he was and everywhere he goes.
d. There’s more to this story than meets the eye. What is the author trying to tell us through the story of Stefano in The Colomber? Explain.
That some weird creature is going through the sea following a boy everywhere he goes but only the boy can see it and nobody else. The person that can see the creature, is doomed.
