    Although there have been many animal advocates protesting against SeaWorld, there are other people who don’t mind the Orcas being at SeaWorld. “Shamu the show and the marine parks’ collection of orcas have been inextricably linked to SeaWorld since the San Diego park’s origins more than a half century ago” (San Diego Union-Tribune 1). The killer whales have been the face of SeaWorld for many years. The Orcas are one of the main reasons people go to Seaworld. Shamu is the famous name that all the Orcas are known as, because of the captive killer whale that appeared at shows in SeaWorld San Diego in the 1960’s. “She was the fourth orca ever captured, and the second female, after her death, the name Shamu continued to be used in SeaWorld…

    PRECIS for Roger Ebert

    • 279 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the biographical interview, Roger Ebert: The Essential Man, Chris Jones who writes for Esquire Magazine, asserts that although Roger Ebert has went through a lot in his life it is good to focus on the positive that comes out of every situation no matter how much emotional or physical trauma it may have on you as well as stating that life should never be underappreciated and we should always be content because we may never know when our time comes. He supports this claim by first explaining and analyzing Ebert’s medical situation from hospital visits to final diagnosis and the side effects that have come with the jaw cancer. Then, he goes on to explain how Ebert has to come to value life in a different way than most people due to his unique situation and how his wife has learned to sort of “deal” with the state at hand. Toward the end of the text he agreeably summarizes Ebert’s current life by showing us examples of how Ebert lived his life from a day to day basis including the things that are secondhand to us but difficult for him. Jones’ purpose is to convey to us that we need to value life then we do now in order to show us that no matter how difficult or problematic some things may seem, we can overcome them and fight against them. He establishes a very reassuring tone for others who may be going through a tough time in their life and to their loved ones to better understand how to asses a serious situation.…

    The cruel act of confining Orcas to bathtub sized pens is not only inhumane, but also a hazard to current and future Orcas by affecting their physical, mental, and social health.

Aside from their large and strong body structure, Orcas are highly intelligent and social animals that work together in pods when hunting while even being capable of swimming as deep as thirty feet.
