Ishmael Reading 1

The beginging of Ishmael is a little bit confusing, but becomes easier to comprehend when you read further on. There are some themes being set up in the beginging with the start of the conversation between the man and the Gorilla, the poster on the wall, and the story about the man who told the Gorilla, "you are not Golliath." These are important instances that will probably be explored later in the book.
