One nice and warm summer day my father took me to a man. He calls himself Dr. Gordon. Dr. Gordon wanted me to think that I wasn't a dolphin, and this idea was insane. So I refused. I wasnt going to give up my dream, my reality, just because some person I dont know wants me to. This went on for about three years every single week, and I hated every single second of it. So I ran, I know I was 14, and I knew this wasn't appropriate for someone my age. Who knows it could just be Dr. Gordon's lies. Well anyways I ran, I didn't look back, but I saw him again.

I had no idea what any of the stuff did or was, but I knew from that point on that this place was my new home. The man understood me, and he knew I wasnt crazy. He knew I was a dolphin. I asked him "Whats your name?" He responded with "Its Morty, by the way are you hungry." I said " Yes sir, I would love to eat something", and he threw me a can of tuna. I wonder how he knew that I loved tuna, but then he said "Eat it quickly, we have training." Finally I have a proper family. Three years later, I was 17, and the man hunt for me had lost all hope, but I was happy. Morty said "We are ready, I can turn you into a dolphin, but you have to realize that this is very dangerous, and it can't be undone." I simply said "Ok." The tech was ready, and I was hooked up. The tech was right next to the big object, Morty tears the sheet off, and it's a tank. The tank was used to keep me alive while I'm a dolphin. I was ready, and Morty pulled the giant lever. Lightning struck, and it worked! He had made an incredible invention and I was the lab

  • The Complex Issue of Whales in Captivity in Blackfish by David Kirby

    784 Words  | 2 Pages

    David Kirby’s book describes the complex issues of whales in captivity. The death of a SeaWorld trainer brought up many objective reasons of the training practices of this business were not effective at keeping trainers safe in the water. Currently this debate is still being tested in a court of law. OSHA claims that even with the precautions that SeaWorld tries to use, it still cannot guarantee the safety of trainers in the water. This cultural topic has been gaining ground, and recently prompted a movie based off this book titled, Blackfish. The audience of this book includes animal activists, followers of David Kirby, and people that are interested in the topic of killer whales in captivity. Rob Grom was contracted to create a book jacket that would visually depict the context of the David Kirby’s book. The photographer uses his work to persuade people to look into the claims of the book and see another side of the animal park. Grom’s Photograph image uses the picture, the words of the title, and the subtitle to create a twist of the logos, and uses David Kirby’s ethos to create an appeal to the book.

  • The Conservation of Whales and Dolphins

    1219 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Conservation of Whales and Dolphins: Science and Practice, edited by Mark P. Simmons and Judith D. Hutchinson, is a book I have decided to utilize as a foundation piece for my final paper. This book contains in-depth information from multiple authors, compiled in chapter format. The compilations discuss many global issues revolving around the cetacean species, such as the protection and conservation of these water mammals and the various ways that they are endangered or harmed. This book also contains information about numerous international organizations and departments that regulate and maintain whaling laws and marine-life policies. An accredited author, often holding a degree in marine or cetacean biology or the head of one of the departments or organizations mentioned, writes each section or chapter. This book is an excellent source to use as background for my researched argument paper, because it contains up-to-date historical background on whaling and the numerous, international conservation efforts put in place.
