    Summary Of James Nestor´s A Conversation With Whales

    The article “A Conversation With Whales” by James Nestor, featured in The New York Times on April 15, 2016, argues the best way to observe and study whales is by free diving. As a scientist who closely studied sperm whales by free diving on a research team, Nestor wrote this article to express the urgency surrounding learning about whales as they approach endangerment. He successfully explains the importance of free-diving for this purpose through ethos, logos, and pathos.…

    Sperm Whale Research Paper

    The species I am writing about is the Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus).[] The Sperm Whale can be found in the ocean but lives from the surface of the water to about 3200m deep.[] This means that the Sperm Whale can go to and fro between the Epipelagic Zone (0m to 200m), the Mesopelagic Zone (200m to 1000m), and the Bathypelagic Zone (1000m to 4000m).[] In the Bathypelagic Zone the Sperm Whale must adapt to many extreme conditions. These extreme conditions are low temperature (4°C), high pressure (5850 psi), no light, and no breathable oxygen.[][] These conditions make it hard to feed, reproduce, and protect against predators, which makes the deep ocean an extreme environment to live in. The Sperm Whale has adapted to these extreme conditions…

    Captain Ahab and Moby Dick

    Literary critics point to a variety of themes and juxtapositions when analyzing Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". Some see the land opposed to the sea or Fate opposed to free will. Most mention man versus nature or good versus evil. A perspective that seems overlooked though is the perspective of the self and the other. The self and other is when one discovers the other (something not us) within oneself, when one realizes that one is not a single being alien to anything that is not them. There are many such relationships throughout the book, such as that of Ishmael and Queequeg and Ahab and Starbuck. However, this paper will focus on the essential relationship, which is of Ahab and Moby-Dick.…

    Moby Dick Research Paper

    The Novel Moby Dick was written by Herman Melville and was published in 1851 during the period of the American renaissance. In order to write his book Moby Dick Melville stayed true to the tenets of the romantic era and producer Ron Howard made the movie “ In the heart of the Sea” which Hawthorne called the great American epic. Moby Dick was a story about these sailors that went out seeking whale oil. On their voyage they encountered this massive whale that was angry at them for trying to kill one of their children. They had how to survive out in the middle of nowhere with difficult decisions to make. D.H. Lawrence called it “ one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world” and “the greatest book in the sea ever written.” Herman Melville was a sailor, poet, short story writer, teacher, novelist, and a customs inspector. Melville was influenced by writers like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe. When Melville first met Hawthorne he said he had felt Hawthorne “ dropped germinous seeds into my soul.” He was so inspired by Hawthorne that he even bought a house right next to his and they became good friends. Not only did writer influence this book but also the story of the Essex did. The Essex was an American whaler from Nantucket, Massachusetts launched in 1799. While under the command of captain George Pollard, JR in 1820 a sperm whale attacked and sank her. The sinking stranded…

    Moby Dick Research Paper

    “Malice in the whale, Madness in the man”. Moby-Dick is a novel of darkness. Though Melville did not intend it, his story, I find, can only be read at night by a dim light on my patio, looking out over the starlit desert. As I read, I sense the darkness of his story. I am not moved to fright or horror by it, but I feel those shadows move in. Psyche is near but not yet touchable. Something is missing, at least if you’ve only read to Chapter 40. There is darkness, jocularity, hints of imminent catastrophe, and pleasant old English to be read. The story is only just developing. Ahab, Ishmael, Starbuck, Stub, Flask, and Moby-Dick: all of these characters…

    Whale Evolution Essay

    The Basilosaurus, the closest form of the modern day whale. These animals were almost identical to the modern day whale. They had fully deveoped features of a whale. They had two fins, no back legs, but a tail fin. At this stage, they basically did not even have a neck, their head was connected to the body, like modern day whales. One big difference was that this was when whales were at their biggest. Modern whales are very big, but only about a half or three quarters the size of the creatures. These ancestors of whales could not got on land whatsoever, they were strictly limited to swimming.…

    Dolphins

    Dolphins

    The most common misconception is that dolphins are fish, but they aren’t, they are actually mammal’s called cetaceans. Dolphins are warm-blooded and breath air into their lungs. They also give birth to live young and nurse them. “Inside their pectoral fins, dolphins have a skeletal structure similar to a human arm and hand. They have a humerus, complete with a ball and socket joint. They have a radius and ulna, as well as a complete hand structure, including five phalanges, or finger bones. This is one of the many internal physiological structures leading scientists to believe that dolphins and whales evolved from a terrestrial ancestor”. (Dolphin research center) Dolphins are possible descendants from Mesonychidsize, which is about the size of a small dog to a large bear. These creatures started to frequent shallow waters looking for food and safety from land predators. Another theory is that dolphins are descendants from the Basilosaurus, the largest known advanced Achaeocete, (family of archaic whale). Their skeleton has been found as far south as Antarctica showing its successful adaptation to…
