During today’s class, we watched the movie Sharknado. Being a completely unrealistic sci-fi movie, I hope I never have to watch something like this again. The movie began on a ship out in the middle of the ocean, battling against harsh waves. There was a feud between the captain and a business man over a sale of one million dollars that resulted unexpectedly with death by a flying shark. This introduction had nothing to do with the plotline other than the flying shark and if I could change anything about this movie and make it my way, I would completely erase the ship-scene; the terrible entrance forewarned me that this would be a long one and a half hours with the already terrible acting and animation.
Paine has been arrested twice before and she's getting fed up with it. Paine believes Dusty Muleman has been dumping sewage from the boat's holding tank into the ocean at night.

Japan’s heavy involvement in whaling throughout the twentieth century has caused quite an uproar over the years due to the fact that over 1.5 million whales have been slaughtered and are being inhumanely treated. An ABC News 24 opinion piece entitled “Saving whales: a cause worth fighting war” was written by Reese Halter in response to the ongoing debate about Japanese whaling. Using an informative and authoritative tone, Halter urges that whaling needs to be stopped in order to end the “War against Nature” and thus provide whales the ability to swim freely in the ocean without threat of extinction. The article is categorically targeted towards those with an immense interest in the concept of conservation and particularly the whales in addition to the stakeholders who comprise of politicians, environmentalists, pro and anti whaling organisations and the general public. Halter commences his article with an accusing tone that provides a background on the “war against nature” and the Sea Shepherd organisation, whilst highlighting the fact that the Institute of Cetacean Research in Japan has provided little to no credible research over the past century, despite this being their agenda for whaling.
Young Fortinbras did this through asserting himself and his military to action, and invading the then troubled Denmark. Despite Hamlet’s passive contemplation, he too avenged his father’s murder by stabbing Claudius and forcing him to gulp down a glass of poisoned wine. Both Young Hamlet and Young Fortinbras sought vengeance for their fathers’ untimely deaths, but had contrasting motives and completely opposite plans of action. Fortinbras' father, King of Norway, was killed during battle for control of “a little patch of ground”(4.4, 19). Fortinbras’ uncle claims the throne of Norway just as Claudius took the throne in Denmark, and linked the common destiny between Young Fortinbras and Hamlet in their attempt for vengeance of their fathers’ deaths.

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).
End Captivity To End Suffering In recent years, the issue of the encagement of killer whales inside of SeaWorld Parks has been brought to light within society. Inside miniature tanks, these Orcas are eating an unnatural diet, fighting with each other and breaking their teeth in efforts to escape. Organizations such as Sea World of Hurt, a PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) campaign, Keep Whales Wild and The Orca Project work daily to educate the general public on the effects of captivity as well as fight for the rights of these killer whales. While these groups are expressing their passion through education and protest, they are in great need of a larger backing. It is as simple as educating yourself, spreading the
