To determine the genre of "Big Water" by Andrea Curtis based on the excerpt at the end of the story, you would need to consider the elements present in the excerpt. Since I don't have access to the specific text you're referring to, I can offer some guidance on identifying the genre:
- Mystery: If the ending involves uncovering secrets, twists, or unresolved questions.
- Fantasy: If there are elements of magic, mythical creatures, or fantastical settings.
- Science Fiction: If it includes futuristic technology, space exploration, or speculative elements about science.
- Adventure: If it encompasses journeys, explorations, or thrilling experiences that revolve around overcoming challenges.
If the excerpt has elements that suggest one of these qualities more than the others, that would be your answer. Please provide more insight or elements if you need a more specific analysis.
