Moby Dick Chapter 4

Chapter 4 (work in small groups at the computers - 2 to 3). Post and sign your responses.

The key concept to understand in this chapter is the "numinous." Don't just get a definition; find at least one website that gives a detailed explanation of this concept. You needn't arrive at any conclusions about it yet; stay within this chapter.

Once you have done this, see if you can create a parallel between Ishmael's childhood experience and the experience he has immediately after with Queequeg.
