This was quite an interesting story. I pretty much enjoyed reading it. I guess I am a little confused on what Melville was trying to tell us though. Bartleby is a weird loner guy who eats nuts, lives in his place of work, dosen't listen to his boss, and says "prefer" a lot. Oh yeah, he also dies in the end. What? It is an interesting, entertaining story but why are we still reading it 150 years later? I look forword to the class discussion today because I am sure there is some meaning to all this. I am usually the last one to get a joke so I will probably be the last one to go, "oh yeah, I get it now."
