CHALK THE WALK: MOBY-DICK EDITION

The Child and TWT wandered down to the Puyallup Public Library to participate in the 2010 Chalk the Walk event.


We decided to use Moby-Dick as a unifying theme. I had earlier decided to portray a female sperm whale and its calf (a young Moby Dick) as a further imagining of Melville's chapter 87, "The Grand Armada." The Child then decided that the climactic scene of Moby Dick ramming the Pequod from "The Chase" was in order.
