#9 How is this story relevant to the reader
who doesn't live on the coast?
My neighbor, who's a Harkers Island native,
would probably say, "You mean there's somebody who doesn't
live here yet?" But, truthfully, there aren't a lot of
inside jokes or fishing stories in Saltwater Cowboys. Nobody
needed to go to Newfoundland to enjoy The Shipping News, and
The Bridges of Madison County didn't require any particular interest
in covered bridges. It's true that a reader in Iowa will learn
something about what's going on down yonder at the coast, but
that's all secondary to the story.
#10 As a reader, I can think of several
memorable scenes. Do you have a favorite? If so, which?
My favorite has to be the net prank in
Raleigh. Second place might go to the image of Shutterspeed
coming in all tangled in Johnny's shrimp trawl.
