Whale Reading

Moby Dick is an albino Sperm whale I didn't know that. Mr. Wargo kept on saying "white whale" which confused me since white whales are what Belugas are also known as, but that wouldn't really work since Belugas are considered SMALL on the "whale spectrum". now onto the reading... The reading started out talking about Sperm whales and I thought it would go on kind of like in essay format, meaning first it gives some background information (what they want to d0), then go on telling about doing it and saying the results that they find and such. The problem is is that that is not what happened, instead after the "background information" it went on to talking about "the gray rose" then the film on Sperm whales that is suppose to be a documentary but also science fiction, which by the way is not a good thing to do in my opinion. A documentary is suppose to be factual, but then combining it with science fiction then screws the facts and therefore real or false is questionable. Instead of talking about the Sperm whales, it goes on talking about the film which by now has weaved in mythology within it. Although the ending does tie in with what the author was trying to say, it makes it seem like what was supposedly a scientific paper is not and is instead the person's own thoughts and ideas of how animals are. There was never any proof given to support that animals are smarter than humans. Having a bigger brain does not equal being smarter, it is the percentage and the usage of how the brain is used.
