I was assigned Moby Dick the winter I was in tenth grade. The test was coming up the next day, and I was doomed. That night, a raging blizzard ensured that school would be closed the next day. There I was, snowed in, just me and Moby Dick.
I got a "B" on the test. Even after giving up on the whole thing when I encountered an entire chapter on "The Whiteness of the Whale."
"That whale was SO white...."
HOW ... WHITE ... WAS IT???
