Annotation
Despite warnings, Ishmael boards a whaling vessel captained by Ahab who is out for revenge after being severely injured by an encounter with a whale.
Personal Reaction
(Provided by J. Knell)
Ishmael joins a crew of sailors to work aboard the Pequod, a whaling vessel captained by Ahab who seeks revenge after being injured during a whaling expedition. Despite Captain Ahab’s angry reputation, Ishmael embarks upon what turns out to be a turbulent ride. Readers will enjoy reading the dialog bubbles which are interchanged with antique looking scrolls. The text and illustrations capture the intellectual, emotional and intense aspects of Melville’s classic American maritime story, Moby Dick. It makes for an enjoyable and thought provoking read for older readers interested graphic novels and those reluctant to read the lengthy unabridged version.
Curricular Connection: To extend and supplement the story, educators may draw student attention to the last few pages of the book where information about wailing and the historical significance it had on society during that era is discussed.
