Did you ever hear of the book called Moby Dick? When I first heard of it, I heard it was about a man who goes out deep sea whaling so it got me interested right away. The reason I thought I would like this book was, I enjoy fishing down at the beach every time we go down. In the beginning of the story a man named Ishmael went to Nantucket from his hometown in New York to join a whaling fleet and be a fisherman. When he arrived the boat was pulling out, so he had to stay in a local inn until the next boat would come (3 days). This started all the problems for Ishmael because he had to stay in a small room that was very uncomfortable but it only was for two nights. Then to make matters worst he found out later that night while he was sleeping and woke up in the middle of the night from the light coming through the open door that he was sharing a room. When he woke up he saw two men standing at the door which scared him until he could figure out that it was his new roommate and the owner of the inn. Ishmael didn’t know what to say to his roommate when he first walked in because he was an Indian and he didn’t know if he would understand what he was saying. He later found out he understood what he was saying and Ishmael can understand him too. This is the first problem that the main character runs into and a little bite about what is going on in the story.
