I want to talk about one my thesis and my overall idea of how im going to read the book, then where it ties into this chapter.

in this chapter “the ship” we see Ishemeal and Queequeg interact with the ship that are choosing to have their adventure on, they get to hear stories about the ship and the captain. these stories are told and Ishmeal gets to make his own idea of the captain, he is reading him and his ties to the ship, he will leave the ship, think about the ship and the captain, then come back to to have a better understanding of both the ship and the captain. this idea of having these thoughts of something you find important and not losing it, come back to the material that made you think these thoughts and re-observe to get a different perspective.
