Captain Ahab is a man who is obsessed with finding the Great White Whale. I believe that the most interesting thing about Captain Ahab is how he is so obsessed with trying to find the great white whale that in my head I think that his obsession will make him insane.

This is the reason for Captain Ahab's obsession…

    Similarly, Jim overcomes the fear of the main antagonist, Long John Silver. When Jim was trapped in the enemy’s camp, he said, “I no more fear you than I fear a fly. Kill me, if you please, or spare me”(Stevenson 164), to Long John Silver and all pirates. Jims used to be fearful of John Silver, but now he was not. Jim’s overcoming of the fear to Long John Silvers clarifies that he grew to a brave boy in the adventure. Differently, Jim’s fear of pirates becomes part of his curiosity. When Jim was hiding under a bridge and pirates were coming, “[his] curiosity, in a sense, was stronger than [his] fear, for [he] could not remain where [he] was, but crept back to the bank again” (Stevenson 25). Although Jim is afraid of pirates, his fear enhances his curiosity, which leads him to the adventure, where is different that in Life of Pi, Pi’s fear of hyena strength the relationship between Pi and Richard Parker. As well, to contrast with Life of Pi, Jim and his family’s fear of Billy Bones gives him chances to go adventure and grow.
