Hatchet

The Naïve Captain Delano In Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno the main character Captain Amasa Delano struck me as a bit naïve and a bit oblivious throughout the story. Captain Delano appears to be a naïve sea captain because he does not put together the puzzle pieces of the strange behavior of the San Dominick’s crew and history as quickly as one would expect.

The bell rings and lets us out for lunch. Before I enter the crowded hallway I look both ways, I can hear them following me. I walk through a sea of leg warmers and sweatbands. I can smell the hairspray and the badly washed perms. Girls with bright colored scrunchies skip side by side. Everyone seems carefree and unworried, it doesn't make any sense. I can sense their close. I feel their panting breathe on my hear. They want my life. Their the predators in this jungle. I am simply prey. Beads…
