Moby Dick: Chapter 1

After reading Moby Dick, I regret picking this book. I feel as if this is going to be a very dry and boring novel about a man named Ishmael. He feels as his its going to be a freezing November so he is going to sail from New York to New Bedford, in search of a great adventure. I feel as if Ishmael and all of the other men are going to die or go through many hardships on their adventure. I’m hoping that maybe Mr. Boyd would possibly let me switch books. I am interested in reading The Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Blake and Jenny are reading that and it looks very interesting and I would like to buy that book. I am not expecting Moby Dick to be very exciting, because what I have read is very lengthy and does not tickle my fancy. During chapter two the book mentions Ishmael stumbling into a church full of weeping African Americans. I wonder if the sermon being preached about the blackness of darkness, was a bit of foreshadowing that during Ishmael’s voyage, he will stumble upon something dark. Not only does he stumble into this, but an inn with an ominous name, “Spouter-Inn” owned by an even creepier name, Peter Coffin. I feel that there is about to be something bad to happen. I really don not like reading this book it is sooooo incredibly boring. If you are reading this Mr. Boyd, please let me switch books!
