Reading Notes: The Voyages of Sinbad Part B

Finishing the final readings on the stories pertaining to his 5th through 7th voyages provided more ideas for further development of a story. For my story post this week I plan to take a more creative approach to a Sinbad story with bits being borrowed from the tales of Aladdin and more modern Hollywood films set in the Middle East. Inspiration will also be drawn from turn of the 20th century British explorers who made their way through the desert in search of lost items of antiquity.

I plan to send Sinbad on a journey through the desert with a small contingency of individuals helping him along the way as he searches for a lost item that will be determined at a later. With the previous stories being told in a first person perspective, perhaps I could tell the story through diary entries that Sinbad keeps during the march through the desert. The diary perspective will allow for a more detailed story and for greater insight into the thoughts of Sinbad during this difficult adventure as he undertakes the challenge of uncovering the lost item of antiquity.
