Queequeg: Ishmael's Best Friend
Queequeg
Queequeg is a skilled harpooner and Ishmael’s best friend. Queequeg was once a prince from a South Sea island who stowed away on a whaling ship in search of adventure. Queequeg is one of the most heroic and bravest men on the ship. Queequeg is a very kind and soft-spoken individual. I think that the picture I chose matches Queequeg because he has dreads in his hair. In several character overviews I read it said that Queequeg was an African and so I chose a picture that accurately portrayed Queequeg.

    Ishmael's Level Of Resilience In A Long Way Gone

    I believe Ishmael’s level of resilience throughout the story was immensely high considering the age he was during the war. One example, was when Ishmael first experiences the war and loses all of his family except his brother, Junior. Ishmael does not complain about walking miles and miles all day long in the scorching sun, when many kids his age would start complaining after fifteen minutes on a nice breezy day. As well as, when Ishmael was all alone in the forest he did not act crazy about the freedom he had, but instead was orderly and still did day to day necessary activities while remaining calm. He always shows that even in the toughest situations he acts just like an adult and is always in control, when kids his age lost their cool and acted crazy leading them to die. Last but not least, when Ishmael was at the rehabilitation center he did act agitated, but recovers from the worst thing a child could be during the war, a child soldier. He acts insane and puts his life at risk when he is a soldier because he did drugs everyday and killed hundreds of people for years, and all it takes for him to recover to be a normal child again is eight months.…

    Ishmael's Ignorance

    I can personally connect with Ishmael’s astonishment in this quote because when I first arrived in America at the age of four on a plane, one look out the window allowed me to experience what a true wonderland look like. Ishmael’s description of the city was exactly what I saw, except I was too young to distinguish the fact that the lights actually derive from buildings. My childish mind actually thought that I arrived at a magical place, which was too good to be true. At that moment, I forgot all the negative things my grandparents taught me about America and just stared out the window with amazement at the colorful lights scattered around me. Even now, I still vividly remember how beautiful New York appeared (only at night of course) in my…

    Phileas Fogg

    In Philip Jose Farmer's The Other Log of Phileas Fogg, he is said to be Eridanean, a member of the (ostensibly) more benevolent of two extraterrestrial factions attempting to control the Earth. Fogg is a member of Farmer's Wold Newton family. Furthermore, in "The Lavalite World" (chapter 8), Farmer strongly implies that Paul Janus Finnegan, the hero of The World of Tiers series, is the great grandson of Fogg. Fogg is mentioned briefly in James A. Owen's novel, Here, There Be Dragons, after the characters have a run-in with Captain Nemo and The Nautilus.…
