They’re fighting against temptation

As a part of the secret merfolk community of Jaffrey’s Cove, Chelsea’s been trying to get the sexy Sheriff Braden Marley to notice her for a long time. Not only does the stubborn man hold her at a maddening arm’s length, he’s chased away every other man in town leaving her frustrated—dolphin shifters crave sex, and he’s driving her mad with desire.

He’s enticing them to break all the rules

Enter Jamie Powell, a human marine archeologist who’s in town for a cataloging project. The instant chemistry between him Chelsea inspires Jamie to suggest a sensual new tactic: use him to make Braden jealous enough to stop dragging his feet. Jamie has no idea what kind of trouble he’s just waded into, or how deep the mystery goes.

Warning: this book is intended for mature audiences as it contains sexual adventures in and out of the water including ménage a trois with boy touching (men touching? Oh, yeah!) If that’s not your thing, don’t read this book. And yes, dolphins are sexy. Really.

    The documentary entitled Blackfish directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite uses a few rhetorical approaches to reveal the disturbing hardship that orca whales experience in captivity. The film follows the shocking story of a killer whale named Tilikum and the three human deaths that he is responsible for. Cowperthwaite uses interviews with concerned former trainers and whale experts as a device to explore the difference between SeaWorld’s public image and its intense reality. Researchers find that the wild orcas can be described as highly socialized and intelligent creatures; these gentle animals are then compared to the whales pictured in footage from SeaWorld’s marine parks. Whales kept at SeaWorld are mistreated, restrained to dark cages, and live in small concrete pools that cannot be compared to the hundreds of miles that they would routinely swim on a daily basis. To this day, many admire SeaWorld for its broad assortment of marine animals. As a documentary, Blackfish takes on the immense task of trying to alter the audiences’ perceptions of SeaWorld. While Blackfish employs all three forms of rhetoric to accomplish this mission, it predominantly attracts the emotion of its audience using a combination of stock footage and interviews.…

    Introduction: Every species on this earth has the ability to sense and to survive; and in their own unique way, they communicate with the world around them. Mammals, overall, are able to communicate using vocal signals, body gestures, and chemical signals; more precisely, within the great depths of the seas, there are mammals that are able to use other ways to communicate such as sonar and song.

This range can reach distances over miles and miles away, and can also be influenced by the distance at which these different species are from…

    Blackfish, the 2013 documentary about the attacks of killer whales provides a profound look on the miserable lives of orcas that are being held against their will. However, the film focuses on more than the “Free Willy” longings. This film is extremely emotional and somewhat graphic as it visually shows why killer whales, at numerous SeaWorld and marine parks, attack the trainers and why these whales should not be held in captivity.…

    At the beginning, the narrator is a character of much innocence and naïveté, but as the story develops, he becomes more mature and sophisticated. His love for fishing and Sheila Mant is that of one who has never had to worry about the problems love can cause. His first step towards the transformation comes through his asking out of the older Sheila Mant. In doing so, he is opening himself to the troubles that come along with involving himself in love. Opening himself to the pain he knows this may cause is a sign that he will no longer have the ignorance that allows him to avoid pain. As the story progresses, these love problems begin to identify themselves. During the ride on the canoe, Sheila states that, “[fishing] is boring and…

    Sheila and her family rented out the lake cottage next to that of the narrator’s, the summer the narrator was 14. Prior to their arrival, his primary goal was to catch the large mouth bass, but this came as a distraction from his goal as “… the only creature that seemed lovelier to me than a largemouth bass was Sheila Mant”(41). Of course, in the life of most young boys, this temptation does not come as a disappointment but yet an opportunity. Her families multiple parties, though bothersome to his family, because they were “’Too noisy by half’ [his] mother quickly decided” (41). He longed to be apart of the parties over the hedge, so he would sneak through the hedge to stare at “the candlelit swirl of white dress and bright, paisley skirts” (41). This reaction is generally the reaction one might see from a person who suddenly has the potential opportunity of being a part of something larger than ever offered up to.…

    Imagine you are gliding through the still blue ocean, surrounded by your family and friends. Suddenly, a loud booming sound breaks through the peaceful underworld. Before you know it, you have been herded into a bay and sealed off from the free world. You watch and wait as others are picked and plucked from the water; they are the “lucky” ones. Next thing you know, a metal rod has pierced your spine, instantly paralysing you but not yet killing you. You are then tied to a boat by your feet and dragged through, struggling for breath and slowing drowning.
