When Moby Dick destroys the whaling ship, Pequod, and mad Captain Ahab, I would have leaped into the closest lifeboat, grabbed my iPhone and dialed 911! This epic saga is worth a second read if you read it in high school.
The last part, when Ishmael, the only surviving crew member, is clinging to a coffin, reminded me of the movie Titanic, when Leonardo DeCaprio and Kate Winslet were desperately hanging onto some ship debris in icy Arctic waters. Take a look at my ready to print student worksheets that are a blast to the past.
