In the story Moby Dick by Herman Melville the two main characters are Ishimael and Ahab the captain. They both had a conflict they had to over come. The first character is a researcher, Ishimael. One character trait he had was intelligence. This is because he had to lead the crew without them dying. The other trait he had was courage. I think this because he was the only one on that boat for research.
The other character is a captain on the pequod named Ahab. I think one of his character traits is bold hearted. I think this because he had to lead his crew on a small boat so they wouldn't die from the great whale. His other character trait is brave. I think this because he had to lead his team though the huge waves and the whale without dying so they could live.
They had to overcome a conflict. One conflict is Moby Dick broke the pequod. Then the rest of the crew had to go on a little row boat. The other conflict was most of the crew dies from the great whale when Moby Dick strikes the "pequod" and most of the crew members with it. Then Ishmael and Ahab have to go on one row boat, with one harpoon.
The two themes in this story were courage and community. One of the themes was courage. This is because you have to be brave to not die from the great whale and have to catch it. The crew has to work together as a community to stay alive. Will they live or die?

Dear readers around the world,
The book Moby Dick gives you reasons why you should be on the sea and what's fun. I mean, come on you have to read this book. Queequeg is one of the main characters in the story and he is a cannibal. The book Moby Dick is so great each member of my family has a copy of it. I love this book so much that we own every different author's book. For all of you who like exciting, suspenseful, and adventuresome stories about men trying to kill whales for a living, this is the book for you to read.

Moby Dick is the tongue-twisting tale of young school teacher,
Ishmael who joins up with his enigmatic partener, Queequeg who
worships a figurine called Yojo, but when they join The Peoqu-
od. Their lives are forever diminshined by the twisted Captain
Ahab who is in search of a dangerous yet intelluctal whale by t-
he name of Moby Dick who bit his leg off and is left with a woo-
den pegleg.
Now, wherever the Great Illustrated Classics are, you better get
'em and learn about classics you've missed because Herman Melvi-
lle, Charlotte Bronte, Alexandre Dumas, Daniel Denfoe, Charles Dickens, and Robert Louis Stevenston and many more are just a
bunch of good classics that faced many hardships toward ink and
paper to write celebrated classics, and Moby Dick is one of 'em!

This book was very interesting for me. It had lots of up and down rising actions and lots of conflicts. The story is mainly about Captain Ahab tring to get his revenge on this bellicose whale named Mody Dick. Also at the end, there is a cataclysm that brings everything down and ends the story. I would recommend this book to kids who like adventure or travel stories. There are lots of lesson's from this book. One of the lessons is "Tring to revenge others can cause your death"
