Moby Dick Week 7


Moby Dick; or the Whale
Herman Melville
Classic

Then the captain of the ship Ahab appeared again. This time with a speech to give us about what we were going to do. Then he held out a golden ducat that he showed to his crew. It was worth a lot and he said the first person to see a white whale will be rewarded with it. Then people started mumbling in the crowd and saying that the white whale that he is talking about is Moby Dick. Then one person spoke out and asked if it was him and indeed it was. Each sailor was saying that they heard about him but most of them said they saw him although they were probably lying. Although the captain was getting more and more energetic with each of the stories that were told. After that they crew talked about it for the next few days. After that somebody finally spotted him. We quickly send out a few hunting ship to try and catch him. We threw a few spears at him but they all missed and then he knocked our boats over so we all hurried back to the main ship. All of us were cold and realized how big he was. There were still some spears that were stuck into him.
