For my Moby-Dick cut-up exercise, I used a passage from “The Sermon”.

The new sentence that I formed is “the pulpit leads part; all the rest come”. The pulpit is the part of the church in which a pastor gives his sermon, so it leading part could refer to religion influencing one person or party, and by extension influencing the others as well. Additionally, the pulpit could be the whale itself. It leads Ahab, the rest follow.

I think that this passage from chapter 8 represents the chapter and the book as a whole fairly well. This comes after Phoebe has met Judge Pyncheon (another cousin of Hepzibah), and she realizes where she recognizes his face from. I think this because not only does it create an eerie feeling from the judge, but it suggests that there is something haunted about their bloodline, rather than just their house. This represents the book well because it shows that the haunting goes back to their ancestors crimes and is passed down.
