1) Isaac Hourwich’s purpose in writing this book is to oppose the claims of the Immigration Commission as there are also many stereotypes of Immigrants created by Native born Americans and also challenge the findings of the Immigration Commission. Hourwich uses his economic aspects to explain that Immigrants do not cause the labor market to decline, decreases wages, and increase unemployment in the United States. Most of the native-born Americans fear that as the rate of Immigration increases, it might hurt the American wage-earners. Therefore, there is an assumption that most American workers made was that “undesirable” Immigrants should be out of the country and keep the American workers busy. (82)

The last question that needs to be asked relates to what would be changing about Queequeg if he were to be reborn. As Queequeg is likened to being between a caterpillar and a butterfly, it is important to examine what Queequeg’s caterpillar and butterfly could be. An answer may be discovered in Queequeg’s arm, as Ishmael describes it, “This arm of his tattooed all over with an interminable Cretan labyrinth of a figure” (Melville 37). A labyrinth, on the surface, is something to escape – though it is not Queequeg’s arm itself that is the labyrinth, but the tattoos. While tattoos are permanently etched into skin, they are ultimately an addition to the usually unblemished skin of a newborn.

Traveling from Nantucket, Massachusetts, to South America, the Essex met its doom in the Pacific Ocean in November 1820, when a sperm whale attacked and destroyed the ship.
