What Is Colleen Coble's Distant Echoes?

She employs an effective range of visual techniques to create compassion for the miserable creatures. Contrasting real footage of captive whale with bent fin; with wild whale’s perpendicular fin. It allows the audience to question the differences and makes us realise that SeaWorld is doing something severely wrong that causes physical damage. This makes the audiences feel outraged by its treatment as it is unfair, inhuman and cruel; furthermore, audiences are invited to feel compassion for the unfortunate creature because they could not defend themselves.

The documentary starts off with a violent attack in 2010 on the parks most experienced trainer Dawn Brancheau, Dawn was dragged into the water, mauled by the 5000-kilogram orca Tilikum. Dawn’s story was the called ‘premise’ of the documentary, that is the scenario and question that drives the action of the documentary. The question is, why would a highly intelligent animal bite the hand that feeds it? The rest of the documentary explores different situations of Orca attacks in the sea park industry as it attempts to determine why these attacks are more frequently becoming a regular occurrence throughout today’s day and age. They explore this through researching on what the orca’s life was like before

When they pulled up to Mia's house Erik walked her the door and kissed her goodbye. Mia walked into a dark as the house not being able to see anything. As she turned around she saw her mother turn on the lamp. "Mom you frightened me, Mia said." "Where have you been young lady, Sheila asked?" "I was out with dad and the others, she responded. Right then and there Mia saw something different in her mom that she never saw before. She knew that her mom was a different person than who she was

The rhetorical situation of the documentary is presented by director and writer Gabriela Cowperthwaite when she brings to light the history of Seaworld and it’s famous orca, Tilikum by recruiting former trainers and whale experts. The context of the film is explained when it dives into the orca attacks, the most recent victim being Dawn Brancheau who was killed by Tilikum in 2010. The principle aim to this documentary is that orcas should not be held in captivity because it is detrimental to their mind citing past incidents throughout Tilikum’s life. I found this “text” to be effective because it highlights the developed brain of an orca, former incidents with Tilikum, and consistent concealment of blame from

The waves in the beginning of the book represent the challenges that Young Ju will face in life, Apa says “you must learn to be brave” (Na 1) and Young Ju does just that. However, she shows reluctance at first to follow Apa’s advice, for standing up for herself is a problem for Young Ju. She aimlessly followed whatever her abusive Apa said, whether it be to wash the car, go to school, or anything to avoid a beating, but Young Ju becomes confident in herself, for she has friends, is first in her class, and eventually says no to her father for the first time. While being interrogated about her being seen with Amanda, Young’s forbidden-to-see American friend, Apa asks “Give me her number,” (Na 131) but Young Ju bravely covers her head and says no, knowing what will come next: a beating. Because of this exchange, the reader can see that Ju transforms from a girl who is fearful of her Apa, and follows every command he orders, to a woman who speaks up for herself and jumps the waves, even when she knows there will be consequences.

Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s compelling documentary, Blackfish, tells the story of former SeaWorld trainer, Dawn Brancheau, and her tragic death. The film focuses on exposing the truths about working at SeaWorld, and the inhumane treatment of the Orca’s that live there. It successfully appeals to logos by conducting interviews with former SeaWorld trainers while they explain firsthand the working conditions, training requirements and living conditions of the whales. Interviews, catastrophic death stories, court cases and eyewitness accounts are all used as persuasive devices and logical support. Moreover, pathos heavily influences almost every aspect of the film due to the filmmakers’ music choice and strategically placed footage clips. Blackfish also sheds light on the sequence of events that led up to the

While exploring the intriguing domain, I stared wide-eyed in the dim rooms, my face was illuminated by the glowing tanks while fish and other marine life gawked at me. It was as if they wanted me to join them or aid them to escape their aquatic prison. It was depressing to be so close to them, to be only separated by glass, but unable to save them. Many animals could have been violently captured from their homes with no hope of ever being reunited with their true families. The stress of hearing to kids crying, people clapping, loud music,
