Choose a character from the novel, White Dolphin, and then write a speech keeping in mind the character's point of view about 'saving the dolphins and marine life'. The speech can be in favor or against, depending on the character you are choosing.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I am going to pick Kara, the main character of the story "The White Dolphin," to write my speech keeping in mind the character's point of view about 'saving the dolphins and marine life.

Dear people of Cornwall.

Mother nature provides us with everything we need, why is the purpose of damaging the mother nature of one of its creatures? Who gets the benefit of doing so?

It is unbelievable that we hurt nature daily and nobody cares. Do we need a time of scarcity to learn a lesson? Do we need a natural event to make us think? What about a hurricane or an earthquake? Only in those moments, we remind ourselves of taking care of nature because it is more powerful than humans.

No, we better not live a situation like that because it causes so much destruction and pain. But that is precisely what we do to the earth and its creatures when we do not pay attention to our actions when we forget to take care of the planet.

If we make our living from the sea, we need to take care of it and the sea life.

Please, I kindly invite you to reflect on these issues and change your perspective. If we still hurting mother earth, in the end, we as humans must suffer the consequences.

Please dear people form Cornwall, let's change our attitudes and make better decisions.

With love, Kara.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
