Who Swims with Tuna
From reading David Quammen’s, Who Swims with the Tuna, I’ve learned that the main point of the story was that dolphins are the ones who swim with tuna but the fact is, is that dolphins also get caught in nets that are meant for the tuna. Unfortunately, the title of the story is not as strong as it should be. I would change it to something a little more general because the story is general. I like how Quammen points out specifics when he said “Canned tunafish is the giver, dolphin-safe or dolphin-unsafe.” This quote shows the reader that there are ways to obtain accurate information about the products people buy. It was good that Quammen gave examples like the LaBudde ship videotape as evidence to his claim that dolphins do get abused. Also, the subject is tasteful because many people do not know that a lot of dolphins do get harmed when making tuna. Furthermore I would like to say that nothing in this piece should be interchangeable because Quammen started off with a question “Who Swims with Tuna?” and he ended it with the last sentence, “The answer is that dolphins do.”

Gypsies
From Roger Welsch’s story, Gypsies, I have learned that gypsies are tricksters. The title was perfect because that was the main point, that gypsies are tricksters and that they are individuals of color. Welsch’s logic about “Anyone who has lots of money is obviously to be trusted” is not guarunteed a fact in general. It is like saying women would not kill anyone because they are kind and gentle. I also noticed that Welsch gave a good example on gypsies when he incorporated a story within a story. The transition he made from gypsies to their reputation was nicely written because it was consistent to chronological order. Also the transition from the first person believe that gypsies aren’t as bad as they seem to the gypsies actually tricked him was a good way of adding a “catch” to the short story. When the Welsch kept mentioning that they gypsies were coming to town or that the characters see gypsies sometimes make the reader wonder, do gypsies really exist? Furthermore, the title, the subject, the beginning, to the end should not be changed because this was the first story I had to read once and totally get it. The subject itself is very interesting because not too many people know about gypsies and people tend to stereotype them as “authentic bums” of the past. | | |
