Writer's Statement
For my text production piece I chose to compose an expository piece after I was inspired by the story of Moby Dick and its description of whales as monstrous beings. My overall intention in writing my piece was to uncover the truth behind the Norwegian whaling industry, an industry readily overlooked in favour of the more brutal Japanese traders.
The form of this expository piece abides by the conventions of an informative speech. The alliterative title No-way out of Norway was implemented to grab the audience's attention and suggest the disapproving stand-point which the speech will take towards the issue of whaling. The title was a catchy way to indirectly introduce the inescapable issue of whaling in Norway. By not
