Reading Notes: Ovid's Metamorphoses Part A

The beginning of the story starts strong and includes a horrifying scene of the world going under water. This leaves the reader with questions and the desire to continue on. The third person style point of view is really helpful in describing the scene of survivors after the world first went underwater. The author does not make the sea seem like the protagonist, even though that is what's causing the problems in the story.
The focus shifts from the damages caused by water to Deucalion and his wife needing help and feeling alone. I enjoyed the second to last paragraph's dialogue. The author is describing objects found in nature turning into humans. The sentence structure and writing style used in this paragraph really helped bring this story to a great ending.
