Ch. 1 and 4 By Hilary Elizabeth MacDonald (04/07/10 19:12:00)
Chapter one:
The first chapter in The Man Who Talks to Whales by Jim Nollman. We learn about his love for animals. It starts at a young age with snakes and deer etc. The opening story introduces the audience to Jim’s musical encounters with a neighboring turkey. This story was interesting because almost every human has a funny endearing story that involves a curious animal. Jim is easy to relate to in this sense. Also, it was good to hear that Jim’s first love is music and his second animals so easily collaborate. It gives hope to us artists that an animal will work with us in the same way. Its all abut experimenting and trying new things that keep the artists happy and the animals intrigued. This book is a easy read because Jim is charming in his delivery of the information.
Chapter four:
The second Chapter is more species specific starting with the lions and the bushman. It was recorded that lions would be close to the camp fires and some nights the bushman would have enough of the lions roaring and had techniques of convincing the lions to quiet down. Next there were the clownfish and anemone symbiotic relationship. The clownfish use the anemone as protection and the anemones eat the predators that chase the clownfish. This chapter is introducing more of the science behind some animal behaviors. Collaborations in animals and in humans take a lot of mutual respect and mutual trust.
