Writer’s Statement For my text production I chose to compose an expository piece (informative speech) called ‘No-way out of Norway’ after I was inspired by the novel‚ Moby Dick and its negative description of whales as ‘monstrous beings’. My overall intention in writing my piece for Australian conservationists was to uncover the truth behind the Norwegian whaling industry‚ an industry readily overlooked in favour of the more brutal Japanese traders.
