https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf Based on your reading of pages 26-33 in World Without Fish by Mark Kurlansky, what message is the author trying to convey to the reader? Explain your reasoning. Support your response with evidence from the text. en-us 2018-05-09 13:09:37 UTC 2026-01-17 18:06:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259621396 I think the message that the author is trying to convey is that there was a lot of machinery that improved fishing. On page 27 the text states “Thomas Savery, an English military engineer and inventor, patented the first steam engine in 1698.” This can shows that the author was trying to explain about how people had made many different inventions that had improved throughout years of innovating. Therefore, this is the message that I think that the author was trying to convey throughout the text.]]> 2018-05-10 13:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259621396 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623496 I think the author is trying to tell us that fishing doesn’t really change unless they need to. I also think he is trying to tell us that maybe that’s how all fish depletion started.]]> 2018-05-10 14:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623496 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623541 The message of the reading of pages 23-33 is how we negatively affect the ocean because of our actions. The text claims, that because of the steam powered engine the ocean was under the pressure of the engine. We use the engine to move our boats faster to get where fish are but we also use this to destroy the ocean.]]> 2018-05-10 14:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623541 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623694 I think the message the author is trying to convey the reader is that there are new technologies to solve overfishing. In the text it states “fishermen tend to be problem solvers by nature, and until there is a problem to solve, they are not particularly intrested in new technology.” This shows that there are technologies being made but the only problem to overfishing is that fishermen do not want to use these even though that may be a way to prevent overfishing.]]> 2018-05-10 14:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623694 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623991 The author is trying to tell us that as we make our lives easier we are harming other living things. It explains in the text that as w humans became more evolved and made life easier for ourselves we were actually harming our planet and especially our oceans. That is the message the author is trying to convey to us.]]> 2018-05-10 14:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259623991 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624003 I think the message that the author is trying to convey to the reader is that many fish we eat could no longer be in stock in some point because of overfishing. In the text it states, “The fishing was so good that fisherman didn’t worry too much about the decline in the old fishing grounds: they simply moved on to new ones.” This shows that many fisherman aren’t thinking about the effects that could happen in the ocean.]]> 2018-05-10 14:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624003 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624025 2018-05-10 14:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624025 jhenny2468 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624081 Based on my reading of pages 26-33 what I think the author is trying to convey the reader is the evolution of Fisher men being able to catch more fish is bad because every time we invent something more advanced to catch fish it ends up destroying the ecosystem even more. For example the text states, “ For centuries, North Sea nations kept bringing in larger and larger catches, with little sign of any decline in the supply of fish”. Also the text states is that, “ In 1376, they petitioned the British parliament to pass the law banning their use because the nets swept up fish indiscriminately, taking many immature young fish.]]> 2018-05-10 14:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624081 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624095 The author is trying to convey the message to the reader that fish depletion]]> 2018-05-10 14:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624095 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624146 Based on my reading of pages 26-33 the message the author is trying to convey is there were many advances in technology that made it easier to fish and improved the way fishermen fished.The text says on page 32 “Dragging nets from engine-powered ships was a huge technological boon for the fishermen,especially because they could use the rail line at Grimsby to get fish to London.”]]> 2018-05-10 14:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624146 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259624301 I think the author is trying to tell us how it all started with the past and how people used to make machines for the fish. And it some parts it helped the fish and some actually damaged them.

For instance, the text states, “until there is a problem to solve, they are not particularly interested in new technology”. ]]> 2018-05-10 14:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259625634 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/a9xjovjxwgbf/wish/259626542 The author is trying to tell us how fishing became in industry. For instance, he is talking about how at the beginning of the fishing industry, people did not care about fish population and did not realize how it would negatively affect our future. That is what the author is trying to convey to us.
