Ella Aerts Period 5 Your Inner Fish Discussion Answers Chapter 1 - Finding Your Inner Fish Neil and his colleagues focused on rocks from 375 million years ago because fossils from 360 million years ago were amphibians with necks and four legs. However rocks that are 380 million years old looked more like fish we know today, with fins and scale. So, it made sense that they would find the transitioning fossils in rocks that was 375 million years old.
In her documentary, Blackfish, to the general public, filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite brings awareness to the tragedies of SeaWorld’s captivity of orca whales. In a world where the capitalization of animals is normalized, Cowperthwaite presents the horrors of this. Through the use of imagery, anaphoras, and propaganda, she transforms the audience’s thinking. One of the most used rhetorical devices in Blackfish is imagery. In describing the conditions the orcas were subjected to, a man recalls how they found Tilikum covered in rakes and blood each morning from the other animals.
his comeback, I was dispatched to George Cherry’s boxing club to watch him work out. After he had finished and showered, we adjourned to a neighbourhood greasy spoon for an amiable, two-hour chat. As we were about to leave, Lafleur asked about an old friend: “So how is Red Fisher?” “Red is Red,” I said, the only accurate description of the man I could ever manage.
The film Blackfish by Gabriela Cowperthwaite employs rhetorical strategies to convey the alarming misfortune that orca whales experience in captivity. The film follows the appalling story of the bull orca whale Tilikum and the three human fatalities he is responsible for. Ms. Cowperthwaite uses interviews with dismayed former trainers and whale experts as a vehicle to explore the gap between the conglomerate SeaWorld’s public image and its palpable reality. The wild orcas that researchers describe as highly socialized, gentle animals are juxtaposed with the creatures portrayed in footage from SeaWorld’s marine parks. The latter are abused, confined to dark cages, and live in small concrete pools that are nothing in comparison to the one

There is a common misconception about the field of paleontology. Many people believe it’s boring, that it’s irrelevant, and that it’s even a waste of time. However, as award winning paleontologist and author Neil Shubin argues in his novel, Your Inner Fish, the field of paleontology has the potential to change the way we view our bodies. Shubin rose to fame in the mid ‘00s after discovering a brand new fossil on the coast of Ellesmere Island. This fossil was of a creature that was part land animal and part fish, containing the flat head and joints of a land animal and the fins and webbing of a fish.
Throughout the piece there is a lot of evidence the author, Seita is credible and uses ethos about the information that he gives. He states things others have said and he has shown amazing Kiros through the piece. Sieta is a very credible person to speak on this topic. When he tells us about children and how things can affect them, he then goes to add things that he had to experience as a child. At the age of Eight he was taken away from his mother.
The family always had very little to nothing in the house to eat. One day Lori and Jeannette both mixed margarine with sugar and ate it. Lori described it as frosting but Jeannette thought that it didn’t taste like frosting but “was sort of crunchy” and “greasy and left a filmy coat.” But of course because she was hungry, she ate it all anyway.

This is a couple of different things I wanted to talk to you about; I could not tell you these things in person, I’ve tried multiple times. I’m worried about you, a lot. We both know you are not in the best of health, I notice when you get dizzy and don’t feel good, and you’ve changed, you arent as happy as you used to be. I know sometimes you pass out, I’ve known it’s been happening for a while. I just really want you to do something about it…
POV: SteveI never seen Sodapop look so...gloomy. He was always the happier one of the bunch, but ever since our gang has fallen...with deaths. First it was Johnny and Dally, then Darry and Ponyboy. His own brothers. Two-Bit was off somewhere with his children.
I was at the movies with Marcia today, and I met these 2 boys , Johnny and Ponyboy. They were awfully nice to me, and though’ they don’t look like it, the two of them are better than most boys I’ve met in the past. Although they claim to their fellow greasers they picked us up, Marcia and I knew better. I was surprised when they told us they were so young, and what's more astonishing was they looked opposite of age! The kid dark skinned boy named Johnny who saved me from the wild boy Dally was 16 years old.
I should have cut that in real thin slices, for the husband's disapproving face was throwing me glances at the kitchen counter while munching on bitter veggie that he had for the first time. it was almost unbearable. he got his overflowing big plate of salad after all, with extra tuna and homemade sesame dressing. I told him to just imagine as if he's drinking wine without the alcohol, since almost the same anthocyanadins are present. then, I got this purple lettuce into my midnight smoothie, too.
Final Justification -Blackfish- “We can tame and love wild animals so we should capture them, to educate and entertain humans.” The real question is, why would someone believe taking these living breathing animals away from the place God put them like it’s okay, as if it’s normal. I think it’s quite obvious i'm against orcas in captivity. “Can you imagine being in a small concrete enclosure for your life when you’re used to swimming 100 miles a day?”-Blackfish.
If you had the chance to have any three wishes granted, what would you wish for? In the stories ‘What of This Goldfish’ and ‘The Fisherman and His Wife’ two men were given a certain amount of wishes. Of course, the wishes came with consequences, and the characters had to have had a reason to wish of these wishes. The stories are similar and yet different in many interesting ways, and are both overflowing with hidden themes and morals. The characters of both stories made some good and bad choices for their wishes; wouldn't you!
