I can't believe that Radney has died. If someone i knew had died while whale hunting I would be very sad. I realized in the book that the whale is actually much smarter than I thought he was going to be which is funny because recently I've been researching human intelligence and some people are saying that whales are actually smarter than humans which is kind of funny since I thought Moby Dick was actually very smart

Captain Ahab and the crew are saying that the White Whale is the devil and they were thinking they would get drugged because someone brought ginger on board. They're also talking about books like the 3 Spaniards which remind me of the 3 musketeers. I wonder if some things in the book are true like how they catch whales. I wonder if they would actually go on boats after the whale. Maybe now there's a new way to catch.

I think that it's weird. It's talking about the whale blubber and stuff like that and I thought it weird because it says that people eat whale tongues. I mean people do eat weird things in real life that I could never imagine actually eating. People do eat different things in the world so I guess it makes sense that people would eat things like that, but at the same time I think that it's gross.

Right now Ahab is really after the whale. They're being unsuccessful in doing. They missed the harpoon the first encounter and now Radney is dead and they could see the red of his sweater in the whale's mouth. They're being unsuccessful in catching this whale probably because Captain Ahab really wants revenge and they might not have the greatest plan in catching the white whale.

I was just introduced to the people who are called Radney and Don Pedro. The book relates to revenge because the captain, Captain Ahab had lost his leg to the white sperm whale and now he wants to kill him. I've also been introduced to the Dons like Don Sebastian and Don Pedro. The whale is a very smart whale and will toy with the crew and kill some of them. I don't know who will survive and who will die in the book.

I think that this book is about revenge because Ahab lost his leg to the white whale and now he wants revenge on him. Right now they haven't hurt him, but they chased him and missed him with a harpoon. I wonder when they're going to encounter him and who is going to die if they see him again.

The book is getting really close to the main story. Their adventure has really started because they finally found the white whale and tried to attack him. They threw the harpoon at him and it barely. I expect that someone will eventually die in the book since they were talking about how someone always dies becasue they're trying to catch a whale.

I keep on reading new words that can be confusing. I've been re-reading a couple of sentences just to try and figure out a meaning for a word. Like corroborated was a word I found. No clue what it means. I just figured out that Moby Dick the white whale is albino and right now it's talking about ship captains and how they throw a harpoon into a whale and then three years later they end up killing the whale for good.

They're getting ready to go off and attack the whale. It's talking about the white whale or Moby Dick. They're planning their way that they're going to go and find the whale. People are probably going to die while chasing the white whale. I have a feeling that the whale is going to be very hard to find and dangerous since people talk about him, he ate Captain Ahab's leg and because there is a whole book about him.

I've gotten to the part where Captain Ahab is talking about Moby Dick. One of the crew members asked about the whale that took his leg and he said it was Moby Dick. Now the crew is getting excited because they're getting ready to go out and find Moby Dick to kill him. The book is just about to get to the main part of the story now that they're about to hunt the whale. Food will run out and people will die.

Right now in the book the character is reading a book about whales. It's telling about the different experiences that the author of the book in the book has had. I'm still wondering why there are asterisks in the book. I see a bunch of * these in the book and I'm wondering why they're there. I have also met Starbuck which I'm pretty sure the name Starbucks came from. I wonder how they chose coffee for Starbucks.
