Killer whales argument ...

By Anonymous -
Today I have to write about articles that I am reading about killer whales and the positives and negatives of them living in pools in marine parks. “Killer whales in Sea World parks die early. But killer whales in the wild live as long as humans.” That’s what the first article said that shows the negatives of whales living unhealthy, and also according to the Blackfish documentary about SeaWorld’s killer whale program. This program is used to “convince the audience that killer whales, orcas, suffer when forced to live in man-made pools,” according to the article. But Sea World Entertainment says killer whales in the pool have life spans similar to those of wild orcas in the ocean. The company says it provides the whales a healthy home for the 29 orcas that are kept in four marine parks. It’s captive collection is the largest on the planet! But the truth is not nearly as simple as either side claims. The fact is that scientist don’t know for sure how long killer whales live. “This is a debate, but you have to debate with facts,”added Hargrove.( He appears on screen in “Blackfish”) in other words, salmon-eating orcas in the Pacific Northeast might have different lifespans than mammal-eating orcas in the Antarctic Ocean, also called the Southern Ocean...

Happy Thanksgiving

By Anonymous -
   I am so excited for Thanksgiving Break because I love when the whole family gets together because  I have a big family. Then when everyone is at home my dad lights up the fireplace and we all sit together at the table to eat. I like thanksgiving because of my family and all the food, but the bad thing is that there is sometimes a lot of leftovers that we don’t know where to put it all.    Then when Thanksgiving is over we say good-bye to each other and clean up the table.    I think Thanksgiving is my second favorite Holiday, my  favorite  Holiday is Christmas because that is when all of my family comes, literally everyone. I think Christmas is more fun because it is fun when everyone gathers around the fire place and we pass around thepresents to each other and see what we all got. Last year I got a new computer and a printer. Then my sister got a lot of other stuff, cause the thing is she loves unicorns, her room theme is all unicorns and all pink. She has loads of stuffed an

The Willis Tower

By Anonymous -
                                          The Willis Tower                                                         The Willis Tower is a 110-story building with a sky deck (where you can see four states Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan) and was the worlds tallest building until 1998.     This building took 2,000 workers to build, has approximately 16,000, and weighs 222,500 tons. It took three years to build. In total the project cost $175 million. This was almost the tallest building in the world, and all tall buildings sway. This building will sway up to four to five feet, which is a lot for an average building. That is more than the Empire State Building and that building sways 6 inches.     This entire building sold for $840 million dollars in 2004. This building was originally named the Sears Tower, but they renamed in 2009 it the Willis Tower after the Willis Group Holdings. It opened in 1973 and is 1,730 feet tall, including the antenna.

Blackfish review

By Anonymous -
Blackfish was very bias saying that killer whales should go back to the ocean, and I agree with them. The blackfish documentary helped me understand that whales should be let go. 1) because the whales are killing trainers, 2) because SeaWorld has very small pools and whales are not used to swimming close to the surface, 3) When the fisherman are capturing the whales they take them away from their families and their home. After watching the documentary I have more reasons on why the killer whales should be let back to the ocean.
