Recently, I read a novel written by herman melville called Moby Dick. It tells the story that Captain Ahab was bitten off by the fierce Moby Dick during whaling. From then on, he hated it and tried his best to search for Dick's whereabouts. Finally, he met Dick with a harpoon, and Dick bit the Pequod in a rage.
In fact, the characters in the article are divided into two parts, one is a man and the other is a whale. Whales are treasures. I don't know how many western literary works were born under the light of whale oil. Whale meat is delicious food, whale viscera is also a good ingredient, whale whiskers can be used to make precious whale whiskers, and whale skins are high-quality leather. It can be said that no place is suspected of waste. Who is Moby Dick's last victim of all kinds of destruction? Isn't it still human? Therefore, we should respect nature and not be reckless and end up with Captain Ahab mutually assured destruction.
Such tragedies are still being staged, such as the Yangtze finless porpoise, the shrinking Qinghai Lake, and the reclaimed Hangzhou ... Similar destruction is endless, but should we leave a way out for ourselves? Who can guarantee that when the resources that nature has spent millions of years continuing (preserving) are exhausted, it will be the' end of our humanity'? Stop it! Fools, don't you hear the call of nature? Can't you imagine the unimaginable future? Random destruction can only be destroyed! "If you don't die, you won't die!"
Moby Dick spent a holiday reading Moby Dick, deeply attracted by the author's exquisite writing, and even shocked by the lack of spirit of the people inside. In the endless and mysterious sea, the sun sets, the sun rises, seagulls fly by, and a group of sailors are performing a thrilling and winding drama here.
Ishmael, the hero of the story, was hired by Pecu to hunt whales. Captain Ahab is a cunning and sophisticated sailor, and he plans to take revenge on Moby Dick, a "siren" who destroyed his leg on the last voyage. Starbuck, the first mate, tried to persuade Ahab to put down his revenge plan, but the crazy captain coerced him into obeying orders. After that, they found Moby Dick. After fighting Moby Dick for three days and nights, Ahab stabbed him with a harpoon. The Moby was angered and sank the Pequod. Only Ishmael saved all the sailors. The others and Captain Ahab disappeared into the sea with the "siren", and the revenge plan ended in failure.
Under Captain Ahab's eccentric temper, the sailors gave understanding and tolerance. But in Captain Ahab's reproach, they dedicated their unchanging loyalty, their unity and cooperation, their fearlessness of sacrifice, their loyalty, their courage to take the lead, their confidence in coping with any great difficulties, and their fearlessness. Aren't these precious and noble spirits worth learning? They are real heroes! They trust each other, which is why they have the confidence and courage to fight bravely with this "siren". Their admirable power devoured the beluga whale with formidable seawater.
Moby Dick told me a truth: "The road of life is beautiful because of ups and downs. If a person has never failed, he will never have real success. Only when you meet the challenge and try your best to climb the mountain peak will your life become brilliant. At that time, you must see the' beautiful scenery' after the victory! When you fall down and get up, success is actually around you, only one step away. Only after repeated failures can we have a strong and unyielding will and a broad mind like the sea! We must have confidence, because confidence must exceed your achievements, and confidence is the mother of achievements. "
Captain Ahab, Queequeg and Starbuck will never return to Nantucket, but for these brave sailors, the sea is their real home! They will always be with the sea!
After reading Moby Dick, during the National Day holiday, I read Moby Dick again, written by herman melville of the United States.
This book tells the story of the hero Ishmael, who was hired by Pecu to hunt whales at sea. Captain Ahab is a cunning and sophisticated sailor, and he plans to take revenge on Moby Dick, whose leg was destroyed by the Moby Dick on his last voyage. Starbuck, the first mate, tried to persuade Ahab to put down his revenge plan, but the crazy old man coerced him into obeying orders. Later, they found the white whale. After fighting with it for three days and nights, Ahab angered the white whale and sank the Pequod. Only Ishmael was rescued.
I like the characters in this book very much. Ishmael, the hero, sometimes seems timid, but when he encounters difficulties, he will think of his dreams and try his best to overcome them. He is also very friendly and helpful, and all the sailors like him very much. And Ishmael's friend Queequeg, an Indian with a strange name. Although he looks ugly and scary, he has a kind heart. When disaster comes, he can get advice about God and save everyone.
I also like the plot in the story. This is exciting and exciting. Once, while chasing Moby Dick. A harpooner was entangled in the rope on the harpoon and dragged into the sea by Mobidick. When he was about to be rescued, everyone fell to his knees in fear, but Queequeg jumped into the sea without hesitation and risked his life to save the harpooner. His amazing courage made everyone like him.
From this book, I realized the hardships of sailing at that time and the courage and wit of sailors and harpooners at that time.
I would like to introduce this book to you and hope you can read it.
