    I believe that changes to living and non -living parts of an ecosystem impact population within the habitat because if you take away or put something into an ecosystem you are affecting everything around you. Especially if you put in or take out a keystone species. Keystone species are animals that other animals rely on and need to grow. So if you take away an animal that everyone relys on you are hurting all the other animals.…

    From here the hunters had to net the babies away from their mothers to capture them. The former diver noticed the whales had more emotions than expected because he saw the other mothers and babies staying around the captured whale. Another example of this is when a baby killer whale was being taken away from its mother at SeaWorld to be shipped to another park. The mother stayed in a corner for days making a call that the trainers have never heard before. Experts were brought in to examine the whale’s call and they diagnosed it as a long ranged call that no one has ever witnessed before.…

    In my speech, I will be describing the trials and triumphs of solitude, and the bittersweetness that come after. In both The Diary of Anne Frank and Island of the Blue Dolphins, there is a time of isolation with both times of optimism, and also pessimism.

In Island of the Blue Dolphins, Karana, the main character, loses her father in a unnecessary battle over otter pelts and what is a fair share.…

    This scene made people feel sad since dolphins always seem happy and are always smiling. Another example of pathos used in the film was when O'Barry and his group decided to sneak into the cove at night, even though it was illegal which made the assumption that what they were doing was not wrong, and that the fisherman were the ones doing something wrong. Also, the use of images and footage made the feel emotional and horror of what the dolphins were experiencing in the cove. One of the scene was when Mandy-Rae a free diver was describing the scene, she said "this one dolphin, you could see it trying to get away, and it was swimming straight for us, and actually made it over a couple of nets, and every time it came up for a breath, you could see all this blood coming out behind it. You could see the last couple of breaths he took…

    In Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s film, Blackfish (2013), Cowperthwaite captures the psychological torture killer whales, specifically Tilikum and Kasatka, face at Sea World after being brutally separated from their families. The film takes us through the journey of captured killer whales becoming mentally unstable and being used for entertainment purposes. This film displays archival footage and interviews with former trainers who had close experiences with killer whales at Sea World. The attacks at Sea World stem from the whales’ separation from their families, the trainer’s demand for the whales to do tricks in solitary confinement, and the punishment done to the whales when their tricks are not properly executed. All major accounts of killer whale attacks on trainers develop through the distress of the whales outside of their natural habitat.…

    The Machine Learning on Translating Language by Information Theory Background: In 2013, Dr. Denise Herzing and her team with the Wild Dolphin project had developed a voice translating system to allow humans and dolphins to communicate. It implied that the ability to communicate with dolphins would fundamentally change the direction on the research of machine learning language. Also this ability to communicate with other species would give us the probability to learning aliens' language and even talk to them. Launched by NASA, in 1959 there were several articles discussing the potential to use wave to communicate between stars.…
