1. Individually, read The Colomber, pages 35 – 40 in your textbook. Answer questions a-d below. When you have them answered, copy and paste your answers to the appropriate discussion thread online for a classwork grade. With the exception of the vocabulary, each question requires responses of complete sentences. The questions are as follows (12 points): 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 the reason Stefano risks his life at sea because of his curiosity.
b. What do you think would have happened to Stefano if he had faced the colomber earlier in his life? He would have lived a better and fuller life.
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 believe the monster that kept Stefano from coming back to sea was fear, and it shows that you should face your fear.
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 to live our life to the fullest, because if we live our lives running from our problems we will not live a full life just like Stefano.

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? His behavior is brave because he wanted to not get eaten by the Colomber but he still wanted to be in the sea like his dad. He continued to risk his life at sea because that’s what he wanted to do and he wanted to keep the family tradition going.
b. What do you think would have happened to Stefano if he had faced the colomber earlier in his life? If Stefano would of faced the Colomber earlier in life he would not of grew so old and he would of knew that the Colomber was not going to eat him like people said it was. c.
