The theme of the novel that this excerpt best address is "Man and the natural world". In other words, how humans can see animals as a terrible monster for their own benefit. In this chapter, in particular, there are some rumors of Moby D. circulating among the whalemen, rumors that tend to put Moby D. as the most terrible monster of them all, capable of maiming and killing anyone, an evil creature (<em>malicious</em>) that will kill if he encounters anyone on his path. Also, Ahab talks about Moby D. as the worst and cruelest monster.

It's important to know that Moby D. is not an ordinary whale, it is very large and strange looking, his whiteness is very particular and the same goes to his jaws that are misshapen. Even if it has these tremendous characteristics its still a whale but in this book it's more like a mystical and fantasy character. It usually hard to find even if it has very clear characteristics.

In the excerpt "<em>monomaniac</em>" means an irrational concern with a single idea or object. We can see this idea reflected on Ahab's behavior as he wants to hunt and kill Moby D. because it would be a symbolic victory against the cruelty of this monster.

When I went to the park on Saturday with my ______ we met a dog and it looked beautiful . It had a collar on and a tag but I didn’t want to return it. I got the dog then, played with it. I saw a flyer for a lost dog and realized that’s the dog I was playing with! I realized that it needed to go home with its family but I didn’t want to let it go. So I didn’t tell anyone about it and kept playing with the dog . Later that same day I went back to the park to look for the dog but I found a little girl crying I felt bad so I went to go ask her if she was okay, she said her dog ran away and that she couldn’t find him anywhere. I asked her to describe the dog and she described the dog as the same one I saw today. I realized I took away a family members of hers so I told her what happened with the dog. She told me I shouldn’t have done that and I realized that you shouldn’t take stuff from people because you don’t know how much it means to them. It was a unforgettable day because I learned a unforgettable lesson that I still use today. I felt really bad for her and promised I wouldn’t do things like that again.
