Yesterday, and the day before, our ELA class watched the documentary movie Blackfish. Lots of it was really sad. There were also bloody/violent scenes, I’m surprised that there wasn’t a permission slip... But, of course, it’s too late now! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I believe most of the things said in the movie, but I do think it’s possible that lots of the orca attacks to the trainers, were actually just them trying to play. Humans are a LOT smaller than orcas, and they aren’t used to making relationships with us. Maybe they just don’t realize their own strength. Lots of those attacks would be just like play with other orcas, and would only cause maybe some little scratches to the other orca.
But I wish that SeaWorld never kept orcas in captivity. I wish that they only brought orcas in if they were very badly hurt in the wild. Then they could care for them until they got better, and release them to the ocean again. Or maybe if they found a lost calf, they could care for that calf until it’s grown up, then they find a pod, and release it there.
Just don’t risk lives for performances! Even if everything they’ve said is true, SeaWorld still knows that the orcas are unpredictable and it’s hard to give them the kind of life they have in the wild. They live longer in the wild than in captivity, and trainers would live longer without the orca performances.
Dolphins and seals definitely enjoy it more than the orcas, and they’re also closer to our size. So they wouldn’t need really big meals! They also wouldn’t be able to hurt people very badly.
Those are my thoughts on SeaWorld and orcas. 🌊🌎

Heheh, they’re in love.

Incentive Day/Slice Of Life #4
WOW, this is soooooooooooo late. I don’t remember Incentive Day very much. But, I left early and didn’t get to go to the “fun rooms” or whatever. I don’t have much to say about it, hmm, let me think.
Oh, yeah. I left early because me, my parents, my brother Eamonn were all going to Fullerton in Orange County California. On a road trip. It took about four days, and it had times where it got a LITTLE boring, but it was all worth it.
Here’s our path: Berwyn Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Fullerton California.
On our road trip, we saw (we SAW them, we looked out our windows, we didn’t go outside the car and explore) mountains, desserts, prairies, cities, farms, an actual good view of sunsets and the sky, palm trees, tumble weeds, mocking birds, and I think maybe even prairie dogs. Was I bragging there? Not exactly. I really don’t know.
On Incentive Day, I left during around the start of my Block 3 Social Studies class. Even though I left early, I still got to do Bingo in ELA Block 1, Christmas Songs in Math Block 2, and a LITTLE Kahoot in Block 3. It was prrrrrrrty (yeah, prrrrrrrty) fun.
I chose the technology room for the fun rooms, but it didn’t really matter. At first I wasn’t sure if I’d be skipping the whole school day, going for the whole day, or staying somewhere around half the day. But it was around half.
I improved on my Language and Reading test, and stayed exactly the same for my overall Math test. I’m not going to say my scores, so you can imagine something if you want to. Or just ignore this part. Go on, now, stranger or not stranger. Hmm, I guess I just put that last sentence to fill in some space. Maybe that last one too. Oh well, I’ll stop now, it’s gone far enough.
I really don’t remember that much, so if you want me to include something you think I might’ve done, tell me. I got the basics out. Thanks for reading my belated blog post!
