So far in this book one part has been really bothering me and I can not figure out why. The author was describing Captain Ahab's wooden leg and his large scare that ran down his face and then vanished once it got to his shirt collar. The author keep saying about how the captain could stand on his leg without falling over since the ship was always rockin back and forth out on the sea. Then he stated that he saw a hole in the ivory leg that connected his bone to his fake leg and came up with a conclusion that, that was the reason he could stand up straight. The character that I feel most bad about so far is Starbuck. Starbuck is the chief mate and a very brave one. This man lost his father when his father was doing the same thing that he enjoys doing which is, whaling. The character is dislike the most is Captain Ahab because of the way he is treating and bossing around the other whaler's. He is screaming at the and making them do work that is very labor involved and unhealthy for them. Finally I think that the setting and the surroundings of the whalers plays a big role in the conditions that they must face out on these harsh seas. Also the conditions on the ship show what the whaler's must live with, see, and smell everyday which is no pleasant site.
