The Chase

After reading the final three chapters of the book entitled "The Chase," blog about the novel's conclusion and your reaction to it. What did you learn about whaling? What did you learn about life?

Discuss your reading of the novel, one of the most complex works in American Literature. How did you do? What were some challenges? What were some successes?

Finally, imagine yourself 20 years from now, as a teacher or parent. Would you ask your students or children to read it? Why or why not?
