"Down, down, the waters went, whispering like the wind among the heads of the forest. There was one flat rock there, spread like a table, and
the waters sucking down on the four weedy sides made them seem like
cliffs. Then the sleeping leviathan breathed out, the waters rose, the
weed streamed, and the water boiled over the table rock with a roar"
(107). Explain the quote. What is the quote describing? What is going
down? What is whispering like the wind, and what is it saying/whispering?
What is being sucked down? What is plummeting over cliffs? What is the
"leviathan" literally and metaphorically? In what way do the waters "boil"
and why do the waters "roar" in this passage? *
