MOBY DICK

I read MOBY DICK. Do you know the book?
I take American Literature class, and I learn about MOBY DICK in the class. MOBY DICK is very famous book in American literature. This is about whalers and a white whale, MOBY DICK's story.

Captain Ahab was a captain of a whaing ship. He lost his leg because a huge white whale, MOBY DICK ate it. Captain Ahab hated him, so he was always looking for him, and he wanted to kill him.

Ishmael was a young sailer, and he became a whaler on Ahab's ship. But he didn't know the ship's dangerous and sad future...

MOBY DICK is an adventurous story. A teacher who teaches us American literature said that MOBY DICK described America. Now, after reading it, I can understand this meaning. Only men appear in the book. There is no love, there is just adventure. There is men's dreams.

This book is so exciting story. I like this story. Please read it!
I want to read it in Japanese, and I want to watch its movie :D
