I have found some similarities and differences in “Fish Cheeks” and “Champion of the World”. One similarity between the two stories is that they are stories of different cultures living in the Anglo-American society. Both Tan and Angelou tell their stories of trying to overcome the
Then there are the odd ways we humans go about “enjoying the ocean”. Boaters and water sports that need a motor and anchors disturb the reefs. The outboard motors carve up reefs, and when a boat hull scrapes against a reef due to negligence on behalf of the boats navigator, the affected area dies off. Boat anchors from fishing vessels drag along the bottom tearing up corals. Fishing nets can rip corals from their anchor points and kill the more delicate softer
Shark Cull POV Shark Cull POV Good afternoon everybody I’m here to talk about how shark culling is effecting the environment and how it is affecting other species in the marine life. Shark culling not only endangers other marine species, but it also targets endangered shark species and the number of sharks are continuously reducing. Netting for example is an unreliable source of culling sharks as it not only affects sharks, but also affects other species which is not healthy for the marine economy. By culling sharks they are preventing sharks from producing in numbers and increase endangered species. Not only does culling affect the sharks it also strikes the eco system of coral and reefs.
The producer used the semantic field of not only boats but danger. The producer uses words such as ‘dark’ and ‘buoyancy aids’ in order for the receiver to be shocked and aware of how dangerous taking a boat out into the sea can be. By making them aware of this they’ll be more likely to understand that they need to follow the terms and conditions to ensure their safety. By signing the terms and conditions due to this the producer will have exerted its power. The producer of this text has used imperative lexis.
The by-catch and pollution must also be monitored. There have been positive results from this new management overall, though many salmon populations as well as other marine populations continue to be in decline. It is important that we as consumers choose fish products from sustainable fisheries and understand what this means for marine environments. If salmon continue to be fished and farmed in ways that are damaging to the environment, collapse of the entire industry may occur. This can cause unforeseen economic and ecologic problems that may be irreversible.
T.S. Eliot portrays Prufrock’s alienation and depression by using metaphors. The use of metaphors enhances the readers’ thoughts about Prufrock’s character. The reader begins to understand Prufrock as sad and lonely. In the poem Eliot writes, “I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas.” This metaphor is a depiction of Prufrock and how he wished he was a crab who lived on the bottom of the ocean.
This is a technique where a detainee is strapped to a board, their feet are slightly higher then their heart, there is a black mask covering there face, and a towel is placed over the mask and their face with pressure being applied. The torturer begins dumping water on their face. In some cases they play extremely loud music. Waterboarding causes a sensation of being drowned. Christopher Hitchens, a British American journalist and literary critic, decided to put himself to the test and underwent waterboarding.
As youth we need to help as best we can in creating our ocean more sustainable. Many people are unaware of what is happening on our oil rigs, we need to make sure everyone is educated on what is going on and make sure that everyone is trying to make the ocean more sustainable. Oil spills are very dangerous to marine life; we need to make sure we do everything to protect it. Many people rely on Newfoundland waters for fish to eat, and to make a living. Contaminating these waters will not only harm the wildlife, but it will kill a source of food that is so dominant in Newfoundland, and also will harm hundreds of people’s jobs.
This documentary explores how the harmful living conditions may be causing orcas to lash out violently toward their trainers. It is much believed that the captive environment has to do with these uncomfortable, devastating consequences of many Sea World trainers faced. (blackfishmovie.com) A main focus of this film has lead towards an explanation for what actually happened, and hopefully a negative response from the
Beach closures have also been more frequent being something many families, and residents have once enjoyed. These toxic chemicals have been found in fish and wildlife, which have been deposited into the lake by manufacturing sites and other industrial companies. (Glutting, 2003)Runoff pollution, pollution that comes from a single location has also added to the lake’s devastation. Storm water, irrigation runoffs, sediments, fertilizers, and fecal matter deposits, are some of the discharges contributed by sewage treatment plants. These runoffs have contributed to the beach closures, and the unsustainable condition of biological life in the lake.
