“The Simple Struggle of Survival” Aishah Ali “March of the Penguins” Star Rating: Luc Jacquet Wildlife Documentary Labelled as a love story in "the harshest place on earth," March of the Penguins is a documentary about the extraordinary yet excruciating voyage of Antarctica's oldest inhabitants, the emperor penguins, during their winter mating season. Director Luc Jacquet tracks a deadly course of life at the edge of the world, with exquisite footage of a hostile yet beautiful, environment that most of us will never visit. Birth, death, romance, danger: All play a role in Jacquet's admiration and respect to the remarkably endearing creatures.

How does the writer show the conflict in her thoughts and feeling about hunting? The writer uses her personal experience to describe the feeling and thoughts in a harsh environment vividly. In the third paragraph, the writer writes a few sentences to show that ‘an essential contributor to the survival of the hunters in High Arctic’. It can be obviously seen that catching the narwhals to eat is necessary, as the people need to survive on them.
