Alex’s Reviews > Moby-Dick or, The Whale > Status Update

A few pages before where I am Ishmael was informing me what different parts of a whale is, one of the things was the white-horse.

Little to nothing I have read today so far in Moby~Dick. This book is going great eventhough the few vocabulary words almost always stay on my mind. That will not change the way I respond to the book. I will make sue that the vocabulary is in my mind like a rock and so I can not think about it again.

Quickly I read today because Ismael was talking about how Queequeg was slashing his axe at the chain which held the harpoon to the harpooning gun. During the time Queequeg was slashing the chain the rest of the crew just watched as the whale goes sinking to the bottom of the ocean. reading the rest of the chapter was a breeze because all Ishmael talked about was the sparks that came flying from the chain.

How I knew it had a part in navigating was because the second half of the word had navigating in it.
