Casting Call

If you could assemble a dream cast for a remake of the movie, who would you choose? I picture Tony Shaloub from Monk as Fedallah and Michael Clarke Duncan from The Green Mile as Daggoo. Ahab is a little harder to cast...maybe William Peterson from CSI: Las Vegas?

Who are you rooting for--Ahab or Moby?

The Stowaway

Surprisingly, it wasn't only Fedallah and his crew who snuck aboard the Pequod. Use your creative writing skills and insert other stow-aways into the story

Butterless Man

Stubb was a butterless man aboard the Pequod. Write about a time when you were not a butterless man.

It's a pleasure to be abused by you...

After Stubb is kicked by Ahab, he has a dream in which a merman tells him, "You were kicked by a great man...It is an honor, I consider it an honor...Be it your boast, Stubb, that ye were kicked by old Ahab, and made a wise man of. Remember what I say; be kicked by him; account his kicks honors..."

Relate this quote to your own life--who has figuratively given you a "kick in the rear" to shape you up? Who drives you, pushes you, aggravates you, all for the purpose of helping you become a better person as a result of their intensity?
