DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER FUESIDEXT OF Till-, I MTEl) STATES

Page 23 text:

As is the case with many authors, Herman Melville ' s writ- ings are closely allied with his actual life. The more mundane portions of Moby Dick are based on his experiences aboard American whaling vessels in tlie early 1800 ' s. Because of econom- ic reasons, Melville was forced into the role of provider before he had completed his schooling. During his years of peak pro- ductivity his lack of education handicapped him severely and he was forced to rely heavily on a dictionary in order to make his works readable. By the time he wrote Moby Dick his eyesight was so bad that tlie manuscript had to be redone by his rela- tives. In die original form, his writings were flowery and deeply moving but became so changed after the coiTections that many of the passages were unrecognizable to him. In Moby Dick he allows his characters to peruse the nature of good and e ' il by asking spiritual questions and permitting the reader to reason the answers for himself. This style combined witli the ex- citing and colorful plots make all of Melville ' s works enjoyable reading for young and old alike.
