Literature- Wednesday- 2nd period

Today, there were cups and carrying cases of Starbucks in the classroom, because Jess thought she was funny.

"Last week you were assigned the meta for Moby Dick," Jess said, and paused, half expecting snickers. Or totally expecting snickers. "In case you didn't read and are going to try and spend the class pretending you did, let's help you out a tiny bit. This is the story of a crew who goes on a three-year whaling expedition to capture the title character, a whale, and the captain just gets increasingly weird about it.

"So today we're gonna talk about the meta for Ahab. Do you think he was crazy or just super focused? Why do you think he was so obsessive about hunting one whale? And is there anything you think that could have been done to stop him? Let's start with you over there."

So what'd you think of Ahab? And do you think anything could have been done to stop him?
