“We would like to inform you that this particular animal is in fact an harbor porpoise. It is not a baby dolphin! We would like you to go home to spend time with your families and get some sleep, the wildlife specialists will watch the porpoise. We will watch him throughout the night until rehabilitation agency gets here in the morning.” “How did the dolphin get here,” A old lady asked. “It was most likely swimming with it's pod from the bay and got stuck here when the tide went down.

Later in the night we headed to Dunkin Donuts and got them a few boxes of coffee and donuts. They all seemed to enjoy it so that was a good thing.

Psihoyos uses music as an extremely influential technique with a scene of dolphins shown swimming free in the wild. “You have to see them in the wild to understand why captivity doesn’t work” Wondrous music (harp, piano) plays in the background. Psihoyos uses this technique to try to showcase that dolphins belong in the wild. Another example is when Ric the protagonist of the documentary takes on the IWC triumphant music is played in the background which makes you want to side with Ric and fight the bad guy. Cowperthwaite uses music throughout the documentary is suspenseful, portraying the whales in captivity as “ticking time bombs”. Anything could happen, at anytime. It keeps you on edge. These examples show how documentary filmmakers can use music to manipulate their audience to feel a certain way about the content and therefore persuade the opinion of
An English naturalist Charles Darwin (1802-1882) developed a theory of biological evolution. He studied variation in plants and animals during his five years’ voyage around the world in the 19th century. Darwin studied hundreds of species, which he researches variations between locations. His theory states that all species of organism arise and develop through natural selection. Natural selection is the process of organisms that adapt to their surrounding environment, which tend to survive and produce more offspring. Killer whales are remarked to have evolutionary links from land dwelling organisms, millions of years ago. This paper will display the evolution and natural selection of the killer whale.

...held him in the sea that swirled him out and safely over the boat to water in which he could touch. The surviving men were thankful to have survived, but learned that they really had no control over their lives. One of the most important lessons the correspondent took from the experience was, “… that “in the ignorance of the grave-edge” every man is in the same boat, which is not much more substantial than the ten-foot open dinghy on a rough sea” (Buitenhuis, web). Having survived the experience the cook, the correspondent, and the captain each believed that they could be interpreters for the sea. Crane gave each man a voice in “The Open Boat” that is uniquely theirs, but at the same time shared a common bond and struggle with nature for survival. It is up to each man (mankind) to find our own place in the universe and be open to the lessons that life can teach us.

We got into our lines, behind groups of excited families and happy little old men and women. As the line ascended up the ramp onto this enormous water vessel, pictures were taken of every group of passengers. Smile, laugh and look happy! Riiight. As a matter of fact, I was pretty anxious. I'd never been on a boat like this, and especially not for a whole week.
I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there.
