The story starts on with a boy writing letters to his sister telling him about his thirst for adventure. It was hard to jump into these letters because the audience receives no direct information about these characters. Soon after, the brother starts telling his sister about a figure of a man that they saw out on the ice (the monster!). This is foreshadowing because it gives us clues to the mystery of this being. Then they discover a man who is almost froze to death. They carry him aboard and he reveals his story to the brother in the intent of teaching him a lesson. I keep forgetting throughout this story that it is being told. Later, the monster starts to tell another story to the man who is telling the story to the man that is telling us the story. (sooo confusing) It is a story within a story within a story. And i wonder if it will go on?
