Herman Melville

Herman Melville is best known for writing Moby Dick, the epic story of the great white whale. But many people don’t know that Melville wrote many other books, and they all have meaning in one way or another.

For instance, Melville once stated, “…

He did what he loved throughout most of his life and made an impact on his culture around him. And now over one hundred years later he is still making a difference in people’s lives. By reading his works he has deeply touched my life in more ways than anyone could possibly imagine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
