Bull Whale's Suicide Research Paper

193 Words1 Page

The bull whale’s suicide was a sign for us to remember our culture. I felt worried about the future of my people since, the ancient whale meant everything to us. If he dies, we die and if he lived we live. He is our strength. If we are able to return it back it will proof that the oneness is still with us and if not, it means we became weak. So, my role was as a leader to remind my tribe, to value the sea and nature and their gods: Tangorora (King of the Ocean), Lord Tane (Father of Men and the Forest) and mainly the relationship between them because man and nature were waiting to grow together with the help of the men, but instead they demolished this connection and became conceited. This is possibly why only few people can speak in the language

    They lived by the Himdagĭ way of life; the essence of the river and its people (Fontana 1981). It encompasses the Pima because it intertwines religion, morals, values, philosophy, and general world view which are all interconnected. This could be classified as a religion, but it goes deeper to the base of the Pima’s view of themselves and their livelihood. Using the river and having it fill their fields with water provided a source of confidence for the whole tribe; many members saw it as a connection their ancestors (Kim 2014) and the link grew stronger with the season’s crops. The importance of the water from the Gila River to the Pima cannot be measured as simply as crops and sustenance, but with every crop that was produced, the Pima contributed its success to the Gila

  • Analyzing The Inhumane Practice Of Keeping Killer Whales In Blackfish

    491 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Blackfish, one of the most critically acclaimed documentaries of 2013, director Gabriela Cowperthwaite asserts that the inhumane practice of keeping killer whales in captivity is not the right thing to do.

Keeping killer whales in captivity is dangerous to the animals themselves, it makes them more aggressive, and also has the potential to harm and even kill the humans who work with them. Orcas are simply not meant for confinement. They are very calm and happy when they are in the ocean.

Also entails about the dangers that these marine animals as they’re trapped and trained can do to trainers. Another imagery described in the film was the incident involving Keltie. Keltie was performing with the whales when suddenly she tripped.

    The “Belly of the Whale” situation, an allusion to the biblical story of Jonah and the whale, is the hero’s near death experience and his symbolical rebirth. “The hero, instead of conquering or conciliating the power of the threshold, is swallowed into the unknown, and would appear to have died.

But here, instead of passing outward, beyond the confines of the visible world, the hero goes inward, to be born again” (Campbell 83-84). As soon as the hero “crosses the first threshold” and escapes the “belly of the whale” he is a changed man and his previous life is no more.
