Essay Instructions: I am a college student and the class I was asked to write a research paper in is English 1102. My assignment was to read the book Moby Dick by Herman Melville and create a topic to write a research paper. My topic is "The trials and tribulations Captian Ahab discovered while on the journey to find Moby Dick, the troubles he come acrossed, and how he faced them in the end." The research paper was also told it had to be 7 pages long, done in MLA format, and 5 sources with a work cited page at the end.

Essay Instructions: The characters of Moby Dick are caught in the condition of growing awareness both of themselves as isolated individuals and as individuals who may be part of a larger universal spirit. There is also for each character the threat or fear of nothingness. What does it feel like to try and transcend the problems of ones existance and fail, or to succeed if only temporarily. HOw does one live with the doubt that comes with an expanded consciousness. In a way Moby Dick is Melvilles meditation on these problems, and he uses Ahab Ishmael and Queequeg to pose different responses to the problems of doubt and faith in transcendence.
The Character for this paper is Ahab. Using Ch.68 The Blanket and Ch. 85 The fountain of Moby Dick write how his words or deeds bring readers to a deeper or more complex understanding of the problem of transcendence. What does the chapter do to teach the reader how to live with doubt or the fear of nothingness. The conclusion should not only be a summary of the essay but also a reflection on problems addressed in the novel Moby Dick
