Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question.
Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually
more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the
knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen,
Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to
Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841
Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered
around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel
Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S naval frigate that was
returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this
lengthy voyage a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal
following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the
publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, in one level the saga of
the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of
humanity against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from
romantic adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish
Melville's popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.
