Question

Will give points, only two sentences

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me."

Based on this passage, describe Ishmael. Use details from the passage to support your description and answer in 2–3 complete sentences.

Answer 1

While physically there isn't much about Ishamael, details from the passage indicate that Ishmael keeps to himself and he is a sailor.

Answer 2

Ishmael is really not provided a lot of detail on his features, but we do discover that he was once a sailor, is unmarried, and maybe a little bit of a loner. His innate talent to tell stories is enhanced by his curiosity and astute observing abilities.

Explanation:

I'll go by Ishmael. I don't remember how many years ago, but I thought I would go sailing for a while and visit the watery portion of the planet since I didn't have much money in my purse and there wasn't much to do on land. It's a method I use to control the circulation and expel the spleen.
