SNAP! .... You're dead. Blood everywhere in the water, Guts and intestines floating at the top, everyone is crying poor Johnny, Poor Johnny. This was not me.
Hannah Ton Mrs. Braun Honors American Literature 1 November 2015 SeaWorld Orca Breeding Should Not Be Continued When Dr. Heather Rally, a veterinarian who specializes with marine mammals, visited SeaWorld, she witnessed an orca with a severely collapsed fin and asked an “educational” guide why its fin was bent. The guide replied that it was a genetic trait just like curly or straight hair. However, Rally knows the truth, scientific evidence suggests that the high rate of dorsal fin collapse in captive orcas is due to conditions of captivity. These include spending an abnormally long time at the surface in direct sunlight and continuously swimming in tight circles.

Rain was falling and so were bullets, people were shooting at the people trying to cross the river. A boy next to Salva helped him and forced Salva underwater so he wouldn’t get shot. Salva was kicking and clawing rambunctious trying to get back to the surface but in the process, the boy who helped Salva was floating, with blood pouring out of a bullet hole in his neck. The water brought bad luck to Salva’s group and Salva would have died if it wasn’t for the boy who pushed him underwater to save Salva. Thankfully, Salva lived even with a very high chance of dying to the soldiers who were shooting bullets into the water.
Immanuel Kant - "Look closely. The beautiful may be small". Growing up, I never really had a lot of what people my age would have because of my family's financial struggle. Despite this, I feel like it has taught me to appreciate the little things in our life since one day, they will most likely disappear. When we did have money to spare, my parents made sure that I and my sister were happy and because of this, I discovered that I enjoyed playing video games.
As water rushed into his lungs, his body became less buoyant. Because panic set in, the friends didn’t know what to do; therefore, were able to keep him afloat. All of a sudden he stops shaking, and everyone calms down. Everyone stared at each other in disbelief before reality sets in. “He’s dead”, one friend says softly while the others remain silent.
Killer whales were initially captured in the 1960s, when a female orca was captured and put into a tank. Two days into the female orca's stay she repeatedly bashed her head against her tank wall and perished the following day. Unfortunately, people did not heed or take any precautions from this traumatic incident and since then killer whales all over the world have been captured for entertainment purposes and have been stored in facilities such as SeaWorld. From these types of facilities incidents continue to happen such as killer whales killing their trainers, killing themselves, dying due to medical conditions, and more. Continuous accidents such as these have caused suspicion among the public of whether killer whales live healthy and prosperous lives in captivity and brings up the concern of ethicality.
A large bubble forms on the surface and pops, sending a sprinkling of blood over the whole party. Something shifts beneath the surface. A large emaciated hand emerges from the pool. A head emerges after it gurggling and bubbling “Kill me please, ma-”. He is ripped under the surface of the blood with terrifying force.
They cry for a reason, either – • They are hungry. • They are in pain or poorly. • They are tired. • They are wet or dirty.
Marine organisms are animals, plants, and other living things that live in the ocean. A Marine biologist is a scientist who studies marine organisms and studies the bodies, behavior, and the history of marine organisms. They also study how marine organisms interact with each other and their environment. I have chosen to research about Marine biology because I would like to learn about sea life, the ocean, and its surrounding environment. To start off, a Marine biologist might study coral, crabs, fish, microscopic marine organisms, sea stars, seaweed, squid, or whales.
Then I remembered that I was no longer that little girl who couldn 't swim. I was the adult in charge of saving people 's lives. I quickly dove down to rescue the helpless body. We resurfaced and she was coughing, but still alive and breathing. Until that moment, I never fully understood how much pressure lifeguards are under.
Imagine the change they have to go through! That is heart breaking! In conclusion, those are multiple reasons why I believe that Marine Animals should not be held captive! First, captivity causes many health problems for the innocent marine mammals. Second, changing the underwater creature’s natural habitat is very unhealthy for them.
I had a fear of water since I was a child, but somehow managed to take a risk and dive. You know the feeling of being underwater? The bone-crushing pressure of gallons of water envelops every inch of your body and sinks into your lungs, your brain, your heart. While you remain remarkably void of feeling, the fullness of defeat dominates your mind until all that is left inside you are the remnants of the sea’s terrors. Underwater, there are no sounds from the outside world - no cries from those you have wronged, no professions of love hidden inside for too long, no vicious words flung ruthlessly at your feet from the glares of passing strangers.
