Seaworld Prologue

The reading that I chose for this assignment is from Chapter Six in the required book for class “The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History”. The chapter title is “The Sea Around Us” where the primary concentration of the chapter was the consequences that humans have on the planet with the focus on ocean acidification. This happens from the carbon dioxide we pump into the air and it slowly seeps back down into the oceans and slowly increases the PH level thus causing the ocean to be more acidic. In about one hundred years do you believe that, oysters, mussels, and coral reefs survive?

In the Heart of the Sea is the name of this magnificent book where in the first chapter, Nathaniel Philbrick tries to show us a place where the principal job is being part of the whaling industry. This chapter is the beginning of history, the beginning of tragedy, the one that occurred in the whaleship, Essex.

John Longridge agrees to take care of his friend’s three pets, Luath, a young Labrador, Bodger, an old Bull Terrier, and Tao, a Siamese cat while the family is out of the country. Everything is fine until Longridge lives on a trip and the pets decide to find their way home on their own through the outback of the Canadian wilderness. Each of the pets faces an almost life ending peril during the trip. Bodger is attacked by a baby bear, Tao almost drowns in a river, and Luath suffers from severe infection from porcupine quills. Along the way the three friends encounter many different people, some are helpful and others are downright mean to them. But at the end of the story, they are reunited safe and sound with their family. The themes of

Phoenix, Arizona was their next destination. Jeanette’s original thought of living with their grandma again were cast aside as Mary reveals that she passed away during their stay at Battle mountain. Upon arrival the family stays in a fairly large house that was left in Grandma Smith’s will for Mary. Things were positive at first as the usually are, but slowly took a wrong turn as they usually do. Jeanette attends a new school where she is bullied for her intelligence, however this conflict soon ends when her brother Brian steps in and stands up for her. Rex got another job and supplied for the family as usual. Just as things were getting nice, Christmas day comes. This time the kids actually had real gifts, they each got a bike as well as small gifts they bought each other. Everything is looking up until their father got intoxicated and accidently burned their presents after opening up his, and using the lighter inside of it. Their father loses yet another job, and things tumble downwards. From people breaking into their house, touching the children, and just sleeping in the house. The big moment comes when

     One day Blake, Quinn, and their two friends Maggie and her boyfriend, Russ go to an amusement park together, called Darian Lake. They are clueless when they arrive as to how this event will change them forever. At the park, they ride on various rides. One of the rides was different from all of the others. It was the Kamikaze. It was a roller

SeaWorld is one of the most successful entertainment theme parks in the world due to the impacts they have on communities, jobs, people, and animals. The behind scene actions, court involvements, false information, and unreasonable animal care reveal the dark side of the corporation which is in conflict SeaWorld’s mission.

SeaWorld is a United States based park with live aquatic animals. SeaWorld has been under some scrutiny lately with the treatment of their Orcas as well as their living conditions. Some people believe what SeaWorld is doing is okay whereas others do not. Some think keeping animals in captivity is acceptable, and others think taking them away from their families is uncalled for. Washington Post believes what SeaWorld doing is perfectly acceptable. PBS a typically children’s network is completely for SeaWorld and keeping animals in captivity. SeaWorld is strongly debated on keeping animals in captivity, their living conditions, and taking orcas away from their families.

The proposition of SeaWorld is typically happy, fun and family orientated. At least that is how it was for me at one point in my life. I would always see the SeaWorld commercials where they were flying over land and the orcas were flying through the sky with them, over cows, farm animals and houses to SeaWorld. They made it seem as if it was so much fun, and when you are younger and a child you typically do not think about bad things, you tend to look at only the good in everything. That is the beauty of children and their minds, they simply do not know. Like most people now, they simply do not know about SeaWorld. I want to just touch on some facts and things you might not have known was happening. Southwest airlines, the airline in the commercial,

Free the Whales? SeaWorld, the place where dreams come true or is there a side to SeaWorld that isn’t bringing children around the country joy? There is a great debate going around on whether or not SeaWorld should be forced to close its doors. Lawsuits, death, and lies don’t sound like things a normal parent would want their child to take part in.

“Oh I see where we took a wrong turn,” Kelley sighed with relief, “We have to take a right and then go straight all the way to that bridge.” They began walking, all relieved that they found a way out of the sticky situation that they were in. “I see our mom,” Will announced as they walked up towards their mom. Finally they reached Kelley and Will’s mom, “Why do you all look so nervous and sweaty?” Their mom questioned. All four of them laughed, “Just a bit nervous from the rides,” Makayla stuttered with an uneasy look on her face. Kelley and Will’s mom just looked at them and replied with, “Alright well it’s about 3 o’clock now, we have about four to five hours left before we need to leave so when it is 6:30 come and meet me back here and then we can leave.” Kelley nodded in agreement and laughed, “Yes ma'am.” Several hours passed by and it was now time for these four crazy teens to get going, “I’m so glad we found that map,” Kristin stated as her and Will walked out the exit gate. “Me too, I don’t know what we would of done without that map,” he whispered

The Sea of Monsters received almost positive reviews of every reader because its appropriate phasing of the storyline, the creative of the themes, and the author's style of writing. At first, the story is set in the realistic world with the characters at the teenagers ages, and the readers possess a character at their ages that they can relate to is a smart way to get them interested. Not only for the children, but also the adults can be rejuvenated with a young person’s feeling of humor in the book. Also the novel is based on the realistic history, the hero in present days fights with the persons in historic literature attracts the attentions of the readers in now day. I am highly recommend to others about the series of Percy Jackson & the

During the midst of SeaWorld’s backlash from the documentary tilted Black Fish, the company’s reputation has plummeted. This has prompted SeaWorld’s newly appointed CEO Joel Manby to develop a change management plan to focus on the orca’s health and gain back the trust of the investors and customers. For example, the stock and attendance at SeaWorld has plummeted drastically. According to the Times, “SeaWorld Entertainment has faced an 84% drop in net second-quarter income, from $37.4 million in 2014 to $5.8 million in 2015, in the second quarter. Revenue fell from $405.1 million to $391.6 million, a drop of 3%, in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to 2014. The park saw 100,000 fewer visitors than it did at the same time in

One of her most worrisome issues, the rotaries, was obliterated in a good, but also at an unfortunate time, “I looked back at the road, easing myself closer to the rotary traffic,” and that was it she was starting to accomplish her goal, successfully navigating the rotary, “I turned the wheel, leaning into the first turn,”(15) she did it, she finally did it, even though it wasn’t a completely joyus accomplishment. This event had just followed the breakup of the persona and Anthony, she had done this after exciting the ferris wheel abruptly , she drove off and “felt [herself] fall into the rhythm of the cars around [her]”(15). Another person that caused the narrator to fulfill her goals of going through the rotary was the young girl with her father at the carnival. When the girl solidly says, “I want to [ride the ferris wheel],”(12) that drastically changes the narrator for the better, to try and get around the large circle of traffic. The girl’s persistence was a moment of realization for the narrator, she became conscious of the fact that if the little girl could succeed in going on the ferris wheel then she, herself could succeed in the rotary. She even used the young child as mental motivation until the end of the story. On the other hand, the persona of the story didn’t overcome all of her troubles. The most major issue left dangling like the last leaf on a tree at the end of fall was her relationship problems with Anthony. When she ignored the issue and flighted from the situation, that only made it worse. She had “pushed him away, [she] hadn’t known exactly why” she just knew that “it hadn’t felt right”(13). This choice was now a good one for the girl, instead of breaking up with Anthony sooner and just ripping the band-aid off, she left it alone until they had both had it and ended the relationship with no if, ands, or buts. Although

“Splish! Splash!” The sound of bottlenose dolphins jumping and swimming around their tank excites a family at SeaWorld as they wait to experience their first encounter with the dolphins. Every year, bottlenose dolphins bring joy to hundreds of people in both captivity and the wild, but what do people truly know about them? Bottlenose dolphins are actually unique and interesting creatures.
