Fistfights erupt between the Maori and the New Zealanders who were mutilating beached whales. I'm going to paraphrase a bit, but here goes....K-Gr 2-"Giant Whale or Giant Hoax?" declares The Cape Chronicle, a local newspaper that contextualizes this otherwise wordless story. Fifty years ago, two children claimed they saw a monstrous whale, but many didn't believe them. So now, a challenge to prove or disprove its existence has been issued. What ensues, is the story of a young woman and man who set out individually, crash, and then team up to achieve their goal. Every illustration showcases the capabilities of pencil; the artist uses a variety of techniques to create different types of textures, shadows and highlights, and dramatic effects. All together, these elements form a series of stunning, photorealistic snapshots. Minute details, such as those found on the young man's tattered coat, make it worth our while to examine each illustration closely. For its finale, The Whale comes full circle. A new edition of The Cape Chronicle reveals the connection between the past and present, and leaves us with a sense of vindication. VERDICT A whale of a tale, beautifully portrayed in nothing but pencil. Description: A half hour animated film for all the family based on the much-loved book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The pair endured thunderstorms and zigzag lightning and the snail was amazed by everything she encountered and everything she saw and when she gazed at the sky, the sea, the land and the waves she was often heard to say, 'I feel so small.'

Was living together and discarding their families ever really an option for these two guys? It would have been a fatal scandal amounting to career and social suicide. Also straight men, the literate ones, were gushy and emotional in their letters so it is hard for me to know how much can be read into their loving and effusive language. I think I would recommend this for historical fiction fans who are open to broader interpretations of the characters and don't mind an awkward romance at the heart of the story.I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs.

Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair wrote that the film is "meant to be a poignant consideration of guilt, sexuality, religion, remorse" but "we really only know that because the movie shouts it at us". He also criticized Fraser's performance as "lost". [47] Mark Hanson of Slant Magazine felt that Aronofsky reins in his "typically ostentatious style", but that "considering how Libatique's camera leeringly treats Charlie as an unsightly object of pity throughout, it's difficult to deny the film's fatphobia, though its mawkishness is no less oppressive". [48] Katie Rife of Polygon wrote: "If you look at The Whale as a fable, its moral is that it's the responsibility of the abused to love and forgive their abusers. The movie thinks it's saying 'You don't understand; he's fat because he's suffering.' But it ends up saying 'You don't understand; we have to be cruel to fat people because we are suffering.' Aronofsky and Hunter's biblical metaphor aside, fat people didn't volunteer to serve as repositories for society's rage and contempt." [49]Partridge, Jon (January 10, 2023).

there's alot of the story that feels generational - the experiences of three generations of a Māori family and community, the experiences of the whale community over time.Lindert, Hattie (September 12, 2022).

First, there were unfamiliar names in the legends. (This is excusable.) But, there were also lots of unfamiliar words in the opening scenes. Nuff said on that. I'm still struggling to decide if this book is a children's book or a YA book. At times it seemed to be written for grade schoolers and at others for young adults. Then there were things written over the heads of all of us. The narrator is sixteen years older than the subject, a young girl gifted to be the savior of her people. At times a scene would feel "childish" and at others more worldly. And only upon reflection did I understand how an "uncle" could have been killed in the car accident in New Guinea when all the Maori relatives live in New Zealand. Perhaps a very short (1-2 paragraphs) preface on terminology would have been helpful. And, when it comes right down to it, was that part of the story necessary? Would a young reader understand why it was included? Coates, Tyler (March 9, 2023).
