   that prof was so unreasonable, makes me think his misogyny was in overdrive or he was allowed a limited number of A’s and you weren’t getting one. Sheesh.

   I should have gotten an A in American Intellectual History, but got a B cuz I didn’t use Cliff Notes to refresh my memory. O pride!

   I loved Moby Dick the first time I read it. the 2nd time, in my 60s, it didn’t hit me the same way. It’s more than a ripping adventure; when they get stuck in the Sargasso Sea—it happens in the exact middle of the book and the writing slows and the reader gets as bored as the sailors! Amazing technique. But Melville got exhausted by it before the end and used a play writing structure (dialog) that just threw his original audience (and me) off. The symbolism is heavy handed because people in his time did not see God in nature. That would have been blasphemous. (I just have gotten an A, but I didn’t explain all this well.)
