    Blackfish Documentary Analysis

    I have recently watched a movie called blackfish. Actually it was a documentary about orca whales written and directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. For those of you who don't know orcas are the black and white whales, they have also been referred to as Shamu, blackfish, and my favorite, the killer whale. I've always found it kind of fascinating that they are called the “Killer Whales” because they are used at water parks such as SeaWorld. Disney World wouldn't use anything dangerous in their parks. Would they? As it turns out that is a far more complicated question than a simple yes or no answer.…

    Blackfish Documentary Analysis

    The understanding of persuasion analyzed in Cicero’s oration can be seen across many contemporary artifacts, but Blackfish is an artifact where persuasion is working at its best. Blackfish is a documentary that was released in 2013 by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. This documentary tells the story of killer whales in captivity, with a large portion of the story surrounding Tilikum. Tilikum is an orca that has severely hurt or killed several trainers while in captivity. The documentary’s website states that the film aims to, “challenge us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how little we humans have learned from these highly intelligent and enormously sentient fellow animals”(Synopsis, n.p.). Blackfish works to expose the multi billion-dollar…

    Zookeeper's Wife Book Review

    To consider a story about the Holocaust to be lovely appears grotesque and ironic. However, Diane Ackerman’s non-fiction work The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story, begs to differ. Ackerman presents the true story of compassion and its polar opposite very wisely, and in an manner that manages to be both grim and exuberant. The tale to be told set Ackerman up for greatness, and she executes its telling impeccably.…

    Speech on Relationships and How We Are Shaped By Them

    a. This short story starts off as European documentarist, Yonatan, thinks of a perfect idea for a new documentary: to go door to door, asking people, “If you found a talking goldfish that granted you three wishes, what would you wish for?” Yonatan’s main purpose in making documentaries is to study how humans interact with each other and with life, as is the purpose in writing this speech.

    Birdfoot's Grampa Analysis

    Humans often believe that we rule the world, making us the only important species in existence. Because of this people often don’t think about how powerful a small life can be. They don’t think about the little creatures roaming the earth and how they impact the world, so they just kick them aside. But others actually see the importance and beauty in the wild creatures. In both “Birdfoot’s Grampa” by Joseph Bruchac, and “Traveling Through the Dark” by William Stafford, the characters confront a similar question. Is saving lives of animals worth my time? We can see that both characters value life, but the man in “Traveling Through the Dark” faces and even harder decision than the man in “Birdfoot’s Grampa” does. Through the contrasts in both characters and mood, the authors explore the same theme through two different situations.…
