Compare the story of Billy Budd to that of Moby Dick's chapter 54, the "Town-Ho's Story"; find one element in the stories where the shape of the narratives are the same, and one element at which they radically depart, explain these moments by answering the question why do you think Melville retained and/or discarded the narrative elements you've chosen and finally, explain what you think so drew Melville to this tale that he found he needed to tell it twice.
