Moby Dick is narrated by a boy named Ishmael. The narrator is a reliable source of information because Ishmael was there during this story and witnessed all the events that took place during this story. This book takes place in the 1850s in New Bedford, Massachusetts. This book is a classic by Herman Melville. Herman also wrote Typee, and Billy Budd. This book is about a young man whose name is Ishmael. He goes on a whaling ship called the Pequod. He learns how to whale and what to do after you kill the whale. Sadly their captain, Ahab is after only one whale, named Moby Dick. Moby Dick is huge, and Ahab could only imagine, how much oil and money he could make. He also wants to kill Moby Dick because the whale took off the captain’s leg a couple years back. I encourage you to read this book to find out about the adventures of Moby Dick, Ahab and Ishmael. I like this book because, it is more an educational book. Not only does it take you alongside the captain and teach you about whaling it also encourages bravery and to find courage within yourself. I would like to read more by Herman Melville, because I love the way he explains everything and how he has so much detail in his book. I would give it a 10 out of 10 stars. - Brianna
