Very soon you would have thought from the sound on the Pequod 's decks, that all hands were preparing to cast anchor in the deep; for heavy chains are being dragged along the deck, and thrust rattling out of the port-holes.

As transcendentalists, the theories of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller share many similarities. Both express the dire need for connecting to nature, both exult the individual, and both place high value on functional, applicable education.

Moby Dick and Don Quixote as Self-Conscious Novels: The Issue of Language and Artifacts Writing against the grain of F. R. Leavis’s conception of English novel, expounded in his The Great Tradition, Robert Alter writes “the other great tradition,” as he suggests tongue-in-cheek in the preface to his Partial Magic.

The development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power, the definition of fate. Although fully defined, it’s like any other theory, as humans if we choose to believe in it or not is completely up to us. I myself, much like Melville, chose to believe in fate.

An Analysis of Communication Flow Introduction Dennnis Tourish and Owen Hargie (2004, p. 132) argue that communication is "still regarded as something that managers do to their subordinates; they drop information like depth charges on to those employees submerged in the organisational ocean but make it very clear that they do not expect to receive any feedback torpedoes in return."
