The Whale Rider Chapter Questions Chapters 1-6 1. Chapter 1 begins in myth‚ and myths explain what was once unexplainable to a people. What does the myth of the whale rider explain to the Maori people? 2. Chapter 2 gives us the point of view of the whales. The bull whale remembers his master‚ the "golden man." Do you think that the whale is as old as the myth‚ or do you think that the whale draws on the collective memory of his culture? Or‚ do you have another idea? Give your

One bullet. One life. The end starts here. The book I will be presenting and exploring a theme of is Scorpia Rising‚ the last book in the Alex Rider series. This book and the series by Anthony Horowitz are for young teens. In Scorpia Rising‚ Scorpia is trying to turn Alex Rider‚ the main character into a traitor against M16‚ Britain’s top-secret intelligence agency. I think the main theme is with every bad thing there is a good side‚ but with every good thing there is a bad side. So let’s break

scientific research to support their beliefs about wolves. Overall both texts support their claims on wolves. However “Wolf Family Values” by Sharon Levy‚ provides a stronger case as to the desperate need to protect the wolf population. In comparison to Ed Yong’s “Scared to Death.” The article “Scared to Death” by Ed Yong‚ had several excellent arguments as to why we need the wolf population; the overall article focused on the effect of wolves rather than the wolves themselves.

These differing opinions have caused significant controversy and years of court-room battling. In each article‚ the main viewpoints are the people that oppose protecting the gray wolf and the people that want to protect the gray wolf. In the first article written in 2009‚ the first viewpoints are from the Obama administration and supporters of taking the gray wolf off the endangered species

The Chosen Wolf‚ Adonis‚ stood overlooking the city as the brisk wind struck him in the face. The snow was so freezing that it felt like there were needles puncturing him with every step. He could see his breath in the chilly air around him. This was very outlandish to him‚ as he had come from a different world. He was from the planet of Takondwa. On this planet‚ the sun’s rays felt like hot coals scorching his fur coat. As the wolf was thinking about this‚ he realized he was getting too caught up

Case study 1 examines the current debate on wolf hunting taking place in Michigan. Wolves impact the ecosystems in which they live by keeping the role of predator and prey in balance. There must be enough wolves (supply) to fulfil this role (demand). The legalization of wolf hunting may not directly relate to economics but can be used to compare balancing an ecosystem versus balancing the market. The economic problem presented in the video is how to go about maintaining this balance. When natural

In the intriguing story of “Never Cry Wolf‚” Farley Mowat shares his experience studying Arctic wolves and caribou on an investigation in the Barren Lands of central Keewatin. What I presumed to be a dull memoir on wolves‚ turned out to be an emotional and nearly humorous text about a naturalist becoming fond of Arctic wolves. Mowat has an elaborate use of diction as well as syntax‚ imagery‚ pathos and anthropomorphism. From a personal experience‚ I find it hard reading out of my comfort zone and

Red wolves are on average‚ five feet long from nose to tail. They’re larger than the coyotes‚ only averaging three feet from nose to tail. The red wolves‚ coyotes‚ and eastern wolf are all from the original “Ancient Wolf”. Since the beginning of wolves‚ they have been cross breeding to create hybrids. Over time‚ the ancient wolf evolved into three separate species of wolves. The coyotes have taken over in population and management for controlling the offspring has been bad for years now. In 2012 is

There is a great deal of controversy concerning wolf dogs. While one group advocates the cross-breeding of dogs and wolves‚ another large portion of the population continues to be concerned over the breeding of wild‚ undomesticated animals for the purpose of producing pets suitable for close relationships with people. I readily admit that I have great temptation of the ownership of a wolf dog but am concerned of people not fully educated and experienced in wild animal behaviour‚ and the complicated
