What's up-it's Gabe

I just got done with my first book Moby-Dick, it was good but it took 13 chapters to get good. After that it got better and it was a good book. I liked it because they were fishing for a giant whale. Captain Ahab had his leg bitten off by the whale and he wanted revenge. In the end, Captain Ahab killed the whale but he also died in the fight.

Overall this was a good book but you need to have a lot of patience. It took a long time for the book to get interesting. Once it got interesting it was a very good book.

Now I'm reading Dracula and will finish that today. When I finish that I have to get another book. I will have another report about Dracula in a few days. Until then, bye from Gabe.

    Well you're way ahead of me. I didn't read Moby Dick until my second year of college. Great book. Very important symbolically, of course, but some crazy characters and amazing quotes, especially from Ahab: "Don't speak to me of blasphemy man, I'd strike the sun if it insulted me." What a grouch! Guess that's what happens when part of you was whale food.

    Not many students will ever summon the courage or self-discipline to read "the classics", especially while in elementary school, so I'm proud of you for doing it. Too bad about Queequeg, eh. I liked him. Another great quote: "a sober cannibal is better than a drunken Christian."

    So, can I call you Ishmael?

    Hi Gabe, this is Tristan. Tristan wants to have a bonfire with you when you come up. Dorothy wants to have a water balloon fight.

    See you soon,

    Tristan
