Moby Dick Tweet Ch.22-40 with a few exceptions

Ch.22

The ship set sail with Ahab unseen and in his cabin while Peleg and Bildad gave orders before departing on a small row boat.

Peleg had to practically pull old Bildad off the ship to stop him from carrying on with how to save our rations and whatnot.

Ch23

I saw Bulkington, the man from New Bedford on the ship.

Bulkington must be crazy for going right back to sea after a four year voyage.

Ch24

Whaling is a respectable career.

Don’t dis whaling, fool.

Ch25

Plus we give oil to Britain.

The queen digs whale oil.

Ch26

The chief mate was Starbuck, a careful man.

Starbuck lost friends and family thanks to the tail of a whale.

ch27

Stub was second mate, Flask third. Queequeg first Harpooner, Tashtego second, and Daggoo third.

Stubb was a smoker, Flask a small man, Tashtego, and Indian, and Daggoo was from Africa.

ch28

Ahab finally appeared on deck and I discovered that he had one leg of flesh and another of whale bone.

Captain’s only got one leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ch29

Ahab misunderstood a suggestion from Stubb as an insult and frightened him.

Don’t mess with Ahab.

Ch30

Ahab vowed to smoke no more.

Man what a waste of a pipe.

Ch31

Stubb dreamed that Ahab kicked him with his fake leg.

Stubb kicked his leg off in a dream? Say what?

Ch33

The captain and harpooner used to share the power, but now the captain has it all.

All hail King Ahab.

Ch34

The Captain the mates ate together and then the harpooners ate together.

I couldn’t eat dinner with Queequeg :(

Ch36

Ahab roused the crew and promised gold to whoever brought in the white whale, Moby Dick.

Moby Dick has a strange spout that is bushier than average?

Ch37

Ahab reflects on Starbuck’s opinion of him and vows to face whatever comes his way.

Then Ahab was like, “I’m not mad, I’m a demon. Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Ch38

Starbucks thinks he is a hopeless situation.

Starbucks was all like “Ahab’s so mean and I don’t fit in here.”

Ch39

Stubb talks about how both he and Starbuck have been put down by the captain.

Stubb likes to address himself in the third person.

Ch40

The sailors dance as a storm draws closer.

A ship is a crazy place with singing and dancing, and fights. What fun!
