The theme of the novel that this excerpt best addresses is the self-destructive nature of obsession. The narrator uses the White Whale as a symbol for every obsession that drives a man forward while, at the same time, it destroys him from within. This destruction is apparent in the fact that this man is living with "half a heart and half a lung" because the obsession has eaten the rest.

Answer:

Location: Waterfall.

The water is a beautiful blue with a crystal clarity. Its waters sparkle like diamonds under the sun. Many bright and vibrant fish swim in its waters. Crustaceans crawl in the depths and through the rocks sliding like spy's between walls in the cracks of the rocks. The sun trees around it dance in the wind creating a peaceful scene of nature. The sound of the flowing water, dancing trees, and distant animals blends together in one harmonious song. The scene satisfies my eyes and my soul.
