DQ: 97-101

The Lamp: 97
       The perks of being Whalemen, is as good as "the milk of queens," however they are still thought of as dark or lonely. Is this Ishmael's way of comparing royalty and money against hardwork and sweat? Do whaler's deserve more respect for their work? (329)

The Doubloon: 99
       Is the Doubloon signifying the open-mindedness of the ship? By showing a doubloon of Equadorian descent as a reward for Ahab's most wanted "villain." Multiple people have been in awe of this coin, and while it isn't American, yet South American,  it is still desired by all people for it's beauty. Just as the harpooners from pagan areas, is this coin more valuable than it's background seems?
