It reveals that Alosa begins to protect Riden and show a liking towards him. This steers the story in a whole new direction, as when Alosa is being tested as a siren and needs to escape, she saves and swims Riden back to their ship. Normally, stubborn Alosa would not even bother to save someone like Riden, but she has taken a liking to him. She easily could have left him, so this quote affected the story largely.]]> 2024-01-18 00:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852634451 mcgurnm1_2 https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852634800 This specific quote is so impotant because it shows that when Alosa cares about someone, she will protect them with her life. An example is Mandsy, one of her best friends. She makes sure that Mandsy is safe because she deeply cares about her. Alosa will sacrifice herself to keep her crew safe. Her pirates serve her and in return she gives them protection and love. While she gives orders, she is never cruel unless she needs to be. She is a very strong and kind captain to her crew, whom are really her family.]]> 2024-01-18 00:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852634800 mcgurnm1_2 https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852641966 This is important because the quote creates suspense and is foreshadowing. It shows that Vordan wants something from Alosa, which he unfortunately gets. Vordan wants power and wants to understand how sirens work, therefore he forces Alosa to use her powers so he can test her. Knowing this, readers realize that Vordan is being hopeful for power and knowledge. He wants to overthrow the “Pirate King” so he can rule the ocean. He is a power-thirsty tyrant who longs for control and wealth.]]> 2024-01-18 00:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852641966 mcgurnm1_2 https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852646422 When Alosa gets back to her ship, she realizes just how nice having her own life and boat is. Alosa is a great captain who understands her crew, so having to deal with the men who took her captive was a challenge for her. Readers really understand Alosa’s values on the Night Farer ship and once she is off her job, the author shows her real personality and how she does her job as a captain. This quote is so important as the readers really figure out Alosa as a person since she is in her natural environment.]]> 2024-01-18 00:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852646422 mcgurnm1_2 https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852656476 Alosa is highly capable of taking care of herself and she realizes it. She knows that she is able to protect her crew and herself and this quote teaches the readers about her personality. It also reveals how Alosa holds herself as a pirate. She has a strong confidence that helps us readers understand how she has become such an incredible pirate. She endures pain and suffering to get where she is today, being able to handle anything and everything.]]> 2024-01-18 00:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mcgurnm1_2/pifqsf5z4xvt8nph/wish/2852656476
