Moby Dick

From the novel “Moby Dick” by Herman

Meville, an incident where the character
acted bravely that I recall the most was
Starbuck when he was pointing a gun to
Captain Ahab’s head. After Captain Ahab
threw away the map, everybody was
frustrated and thought that the captain has
gone crazy. Later that night, Starbuck went
in Captain Ahab’s room only to find that
the old man was sleeping on his desk.
Bravely, he took Captain Ahab’s gun and
pointed it at Captain Ahab’s head by
wanting to kill him. Although after a few
minutes, Starbuck withdrew his intention,
to me his act of courage should be
credited. It is very difficult for a person to
act like he did. If they lost Captain Ahab, it
might be the end of their misery but
Starbuck had a long thought and cancelled
his intention. For me, it took a very brave
man to do what he did.

RM40 on books and his bus fare. Interestingly,
a total of 10% or RM20 is kept by Ali in his
piggy bank for rainy days and the remaining
10% of the monthly allowance was spent for
Ali to have fun. We cannot blame him as the
saying goes; “all work and no fun make Jack a
dull boy”. In my opinion, Ali should go slow on
the “fun” part as he is still a student.
