Also, Kahu tells the Ancient Bull whale “let us go now” (129) to save the Maori culture as she says later, “let the people live” (130). The search for the next Whale Rider, along with Koro and Kahu going to the ocean for solace, and the beaching of the whales show how important nature is in the Maori culture. Koro and Kahu going to the ocean for solace shows the Maori’s connection of nature through their culture because this shows how nature soothes them when they are frustrated, sad, angry, etc. Koro constantly fights with his wife, Nanny Flowers, and usually storms off having the last word. After that he will get into his boat and steer to the middle of the ocean where he pouts all he wants “he jumped into the row boat and made out to sea” (15).

In “Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor,” Hardin utilizes pathos, logos, and a combination of the two through metaphor, personalization, and dehumanization to persuade the reader that wealthy nations shouldn't assist impoverished nations. Hardin uses metaphor heavily throughout the essay. “Metaphorically each rich nation can be seen as a lifeboat full of comparatively rich people.
