The style of this book was descriptive with the use of language. As the story went on the fisherman kept returning to the flounder to ask him all of his wife's wishes. With all of the demanding request, the water changed from blue water to black to murky. The sea also started out calm and then got rally rough with the waves because of the request she was demanding. I have heard stories like this one, but I've never read this particular story. ( )
