Laura, it really doe...Thanks Belle & Heidi! :D<br /><br />Laura, it really does boil down to not enjoying boats & the ocean. In 5th grade I was supposed to write a paper on why I would like to be an oceanographer, and I couldn't bring myself do it. I braved the possibility of getting a failing grade and wrote about why I would NOT want to be an oceanographer (luckily I had a teacher with a sense of humor). Interesting that Moby Dick was different than Benito Cereno, I think I assume that 2 ocean books by the same author would be pretty much same/same. I did really enjoy Bartleby the Scrivener though.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-84134166313621697002011-08-15T05:56:23.230-07:002011-08-15T05:56:23.230-07:00I agree with Belle!I agree with Belle!Heidi’sbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647096496574605262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-19319570128374305192011-08-14T03:26:05.638-07:002011-08-14T03:26:05.638-07:00I didn't really like Benito Cereno, but I LOVE...I didn't really like Benito Cereno, but I LOVED Moby Dick... There's not really much I can say to recommend it to you if you don't like books on boats because, I'm not going to lie to you, there is a lot of boat and ocean in it! I did a whole unit on Islands and Oceans at uni, so yeah, I kind of like that stuff!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-31913994770522058522011-08-13T15:08:57.136-07:002011-08-13T15:08:57.136-07:00And you know what?
