Movie
The movie, The Whale Rider, shows a lot about whales. This movie is about a girl in New Zealand whose twin brother dies during childbirth. Her twin brother is suppose to be the next leader of the tribe. The people believe that one of their ancestors survived drowning by riding the back of a whale to shore. This shows that in many cultures whales are revered as gentle and kind creatures. The whale is a big symbol in this culture because it helps determine who the next leader is.
Book
The book, Fluke or I know why the wing whale sings is about a marine biologist who studies the sounds of humpback whales and tries to figure out why they sing. What happens next is the whale raises his fluke and the scientist sees that the whale has "bite me" written on his fluke. This could show another side of whales that has not been previously considered. This could show that whales have little to no regrade about humans and could care less about us.

Emily,
Thanks for posting this on your blog.
For the revision of the rhetorical analysis, I would suggest that you:
1. Focus on integrating the rhetorical appeals into your observations and analysis. How does the ethos, logos, and pathos operate in your explorations and implementations of these modes.
2. Focus on relying on you will use these four modes to teach your audience.
Nice work.
Take care,
Kat
