  1. The Thousand and One Nights “The Third Voyage of Sinbad” By Mrs. Bentley

  2. Exposition • Sinbad and his fellow merchants set out on the sea only to be steered off course to a dangerous island; the captain is frightened for his own life and those of his men

  3. Rising Action • Mini-apes invade the ship, and leave Sinbad and the sailors stranded • They encounter a man-eating giant who devours three of the men over a series of several nights • They are afraid to act and do not know what to do to save themselves; they debate about whether or not to try and kill the beast

  4. Climax After building a raft, the men use the hot iron spits to stab the sleeping giant in his eyes, and are able to make their way to the beach

  5. FALLING ACTION They successfully launch the raft, but the blinded giant and his hag begin violently throwing rocks at them, which cause all but three of the men to drown.

  6. Resolution Sinbad and the survivors successfully row away from the danger

  7. Characterization The men show fear and desperation throughout the tale, especially when they say, “Would that we had been drowned in the sea or killed by the apes; that would surely have been better than the foul death which now awaits us.!” Sinbad shows his intelligence and wise forethought when he suggests making the raft. This was essential for them to be able to leave the island, especially after their plan to kill the giant does not work. However, he does not show any attempt at being truly heroic because he does help those whom the giant devours.

  8. New word-PLIGHT “Next morning, when the giant had gone, we discussed our desperate plight.” (p. 642) (n) a troublesome issue; quandary Slaves in the South suffered multiple plights; they were denied education, punished insufferably, and were worked like animals with no means of escape or hope.
