... at an island of the Marquesas with another member of the crew. On this island they ran into a group of cannibals that, instead of harming them, would take them in. None the less, both the men would grow tired of the tribe and would escape, although Melville did remain slightly longer than is counterpart. When Melville did escape, however, he would board the Lucy Ann, a whaling ship that was temporarily docked on the island.

... Like a stereotype of an aristocrat they live in nice big houses, wear nice clothes, and own nice things. On the other hand they could be considered exactly the opposite. The Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons are soul enemies and the two families have been feuding for years but instead of settling it as gentlemen they go to violence as the answer. Violence in this case does not help the situation but instead makes it worse and the two families become even angrier with each other. They were fighting one day and the next Sunday they are all at church praying and “ the men took their guns along” (137 ). These two families act the opposite from their gentleman appearance as aristocrats. ...
