Anaylsing of Ishmael

Ishmael

Bravo!
I´m really suprised how close you came. But in some cases you missed the aim. I´m nor a teenager nor an old man with young spirit. In fact I´m right between these two states of life. The other mistake was the outdoor hobby. Sorry, but the only thing near to it is a little acting that I do.
I didn´t know the connection to John Wayne but the wired thing is, Ilike Westerns.

I conclude with high respect for your proffesion
Ishmael

In fact Ishmael is out of "Moby Dick" "Call me Ishmael." Remember?
And Signor Mountanto was stolen from William Shakespeares "Much ado about nothing"

Till next time

I guess I remembered better than I thought... when I thought of the name Ishmael, I thought of the line "Call me Ishmael," which I associated with Moby Dick. I just wasn't too sure of the association, as you could tell.

As for the "precocious youngster with a penchant for classics or an old man with a youthful spirit" thing, I was implying a wide range of possibilities. You fell in the middle, but that's no surprise, since I pretty much covered everything there. It was a huge cop-out.

Anyway, I'm glad to see I wasn't too far off, and that you enjoyed the exercise. I'd probably do more of this sort of thing, but the forum seems to have been taken over by people who aren't too interested in the craft.
