I liked both. I did well in high school and college. I had a lot of friends at both. High School was free for me, so I miss that. I had a scholarship to college so tuition was free, but I had to pay for books. The books are usually expensive. In college you are not in class all day and can make your own schedule, so you have more time to spend on other non school things. I had good teachers in both high school and college. I had to study less in college, because I didn't have 7 classes at once like i high school. But that's because I took no more than 4 at a time. You can choose if you go full time or part time too.

Man is an ignorant creature. He has a love/hate relationship with his god, or to a more secular mind, fate, that brings him into the world in this beautiful experience of life and then maims him in various ways before his death. Ahab is seeking the answer as to why the whale has taken off his leg, or in other words, why man suffers. His is not a mere philosopher's query but one who has been harmed who seeks the death of the fate, the god, which severed his leg. I know that it is not an easy book to get through and there are plenty of boring chapters concerned with the whaling industry; however we grow through difficult experiences. It is exercise of the mind. You do need to your own homework. Obviously Ishmael and Ahab are Biblical references so find out what you can about these figures in the Bible and see that correlation
