Mar. 8: The Terror

Minutes: 45

Pages: 70

Summary: Goodsir volunteered to go on an expedition to cache food supplies too 1) prove that he is a man 2) study the wildlife and see if they can supplement their fresh meat supplies. He finds out that he isn't half of the man that the other men on the trip are... and that there are seemingly no living creatures other than the white bear in the Arctic Circle. On the trip home, after Goodsir is thoroughly ravaged, the leader of the Expedition, De Vouex, is attacked by a massive wall of white and mauled to a point where he is barely recognizable. When Franklin sees them return in in the distance, he goes out to meet them hoping for good news. Unfortunately he is met with the information about the creature; he then sets up a reward for the man that kills it, and is sure that the monster will be gone soon. The bury De Vouex.

Reflection: I know that Franklin is going to die, however, if he is going to be killed by the creature, shot by a panicked crewman, or of some illness, i am not sure. Hopefully he will die a heroic death but somehow i don't think so. The author has cast a sort of pompous personality and a inexplicable quality that makes him unlikable. I believe that this is how the author is foreshadowing the death of the captain.
