Read the excerpt from Chapter 28 of Moby-Dic. It had previously come to me that this ivory leg had at sea been fashioned from th
e polished bone of the sperm whale’s jaw. How is the fact that Ahab’s leg is made from whale bone significant to the novel’s theme of man versus nature? It signifies that Ahab has pitted himself against nature in an effort to dominate it. It signifies that Ahab lives a life in harmony with the natural world. It signifies that Ahab has made a choice to surrender to the power of the whales he hunts. It signifies that Ahab see himself as an equal and dependent part of a greater whole.
It signifies that Ahab sees himself as an equal and dependent part of a greater whole. Simply, he's lost part of himself trying to dominate it so now he is dependent upon it.
The answer would be D because your not only writing for yourself,your writing for you and your audience!and also the answer would be D because in the story all the character wanted to do was write for himself not others!hoped this helped!!
