Chapter 108 was when Ahab had the carpenter make his new leg. It was interesting because for what seems like the first time someone ( the carpenter) voices how crazy they think Ahab really is. I’m surprised that throughout the book no other characters have noticed or disagreed with Ahab’s decisions. Ahab’s obsession with the white whale is evident again in chapter 109 because Ahab initially refuses to go into shore to fix the leaking oil casks. He no longer cares about the profits of whaling or their vessel, he only cares about finding the white whale. Chapter 110 was one of the most interesting chapters of the book. In it  poor Queequeg becomes ill and feeling that death is upon him, builds himself a coffin. There are so many death omens in this book I am surprised that any members of the crew are still alive. Queequeg’s actions in this chapter are similar to when Ishmael writes his own will. Everyone on this boat either thinks or knows that they are going to die. ( or at-least I think that they must.) Queequeg then lays in his coffin-uplifting. In chapter 12 Ishmael presents an interesting idea that the adventures to the sea serve as a way for depressed men who want to die but can not commit suicide. The next interesting chapter was 117: The Whale Watch.  When one of the whales they killed that day was too far away to be brought back to the boat so Ahab, Fedallah and crew stay overnight in their rowboat. Fedallah tells Ahab the prophecy of his death, convincing Ahab further that he is some kind of invincible. In the few next chapters Ahab tells the crew to change directions and Starbuck  is the only shipmate who argues with Ahab’s revenge plan. The next day there is terrible weather and part of the ship catches on fire? ( white flames) Starbuck interprets the fire as another bad omen and this time connects it directly to Ahab by noticing fire on his harpoon. Starbuck and Ahab keep disagreeing with each other and Starbuck begins contemplating if he should kill Ahab. I am surprised that no one has mentioned this earlier.
