Hi Aarroy,
Who is your favorite fictional character? It doesn't have to be someone from a classic novel unless your teacher specified. It can be a character from a movie you love etc.
In order to write a "descriptive" paragraph, all you have to do is describe the character you choose using vivid language. For instance, if I was writing about Darcy from Pride and Prejudice I could write;
<em>"He has silvery blue eyes and an intimdating stature."</em> etc.
Just write about your character's appearance as well as his personality.
Metaphors are comparisons that do NOT use <u>like</u> or <u>as</u>. For instance, I could write:
<em>"Darcy's personality is an onion; with an outward appearance that first appears cold but whose inner layers reveal his insecure and fragile nature."</em>
I know that sounds like a mouthful, but I am comparing Darcy's personality to an onion without using like or as, which is a metpahor.
The correct answer is the first one: Melville is building a mood of suspense.
Long before Ahab appears in the story, there is an atmosphere of mystery about the captain of the ship. The owners call in the crew in while Ahab is absent. Ishmael is told that Ahab is a man of few words but deep meaning; from the first moment, it is clear that the captain has a complicated personality. He is an "ungodly, god-like" man who has attended colleges as well as he has been among cannibals. Ahab is ungodly because he refuses to submit to a higher power. He does not worship or even acknowledge that there are forces beyond himself. Ahab is god-like in the sense that he represents a higher power; perhaps he even wants to be considered as a God.
The mystery is deepened as Ahab remains in his cabin through the first days of the trip. Ishmael grows anxious, checking the area outside the captain's cabin whenever the narrator goes on watch. When Ahab finally appears, in this chapter 28, he is an imposing figure whose haunted look sends shivers Ishmael's spine.
