to read it. Also the fact that the book was just slightly over the minimum page requirement. I started reading it and was a little confused by the text. After a few pages I began understanding Kiplings use of letters to form slang words of sounds. With that understanding I was able to get into the story. In the beginning of the story there was a German who had a very prominent accent. I knew this from Kiplings use of words and anamonopeia. I felt compelled to finsih the story, but unfortuantely was unable to complete the entire book do to restrictions put on me by other activities. I started doing some research on the book and the author and was able to get a good idea of what was happening, will happen, and why.It is my opinion that this story is appropriate for everyone and that if they like classics written by notable authors, that they should definitely check out Captains Courageous.For a taste of some of the infamous dialogue I was referring to, here is an excerpt of one of the lines said by the German.I know der breed. Ameriga is full of dot kind. I dell you you should imbort ropes ends free under your dariff.Another excerpt from the story/Say, genelman, this is deader n mud. Cant we make a game of power between us?And yet another of the Germans lines.Dot is der broper apparatus to smoke, my young friendt, he said, You vill dry it? Yes? Den you vill be efer so happy....
