- Literary
- Line 35-36: “each wife knew her husband
instinctively and watched their progress
intently.” She is romanticising with the
people like they are in tune as they are with
nature.
- Line 33: “the
women
clustered on
the knoll.”
Like religious,
it’s
gathered-up.
- Line 39-40: “every Hunter was on the water. It was like watching a
vast, water bone game with the hunters spread like net around the
sound.” Begins significant, event within the community all the women
are there and children and all the men and older children are out
hunting. “Spread like a net” indicates how many men there are.
- Line 45-47: “he gently picked up his harpoon and aimed- in that split second my heart leapt for both
hunter and narwhal.” “He gently picked up his harpoon and aimed” juxtaposition, it says he is gently
picking it up but in reality it is a weapon to kill he is picking it up to kill. She is trying to make the
Gunter seem not as vicious killer but as someone that hunts with respect, he isn’t doing it because he
wants to, or for a spot he is doing out of necessity. Not in violence or anger. “In that split second my
heart leapt for both hunter and narwhal” having while watching, because they are small, and burner
able. They want them to succeed in their hunt because if they fail they will suffer. But she also
appreciates the majestic and the beauty of the narwhal. So she is torn and she is expressing it in
lyrical terms.
- Line 35-36: “each wife knew her husband
instinctively and watched their progress
intently.” She is romanticising with the
people like they are in tune as they are with
nature.
- Non-fiction no-emotive language
- Line 19 then 21-23: “the climate prohibits the growth of
vegetables or fruit.” “Whales was also the only source of
light and heat, and the dark rich meal is still a valuable
part of the diet for both man and dogs a single narwhal
can feed a team of dogs for an entire month.” They rely
on the vitamins the narwhals gives them as they can’t
produce fruits or vegetables. They aren’t only used for
fuel, they are essential to survive.
- Line 27-29: “strangely the tusk seems to
have little use for the narwhal itself; they do
not use the tusk to break through ice as
breathing hole, nor will they use it to catch
or attack prey.” She goes on to talk about,
and justify how their tusk isn’t of much use
to them.

fuel, they are essential to survive.
- Non-fiction
- Line 41-42: “are intelligent creatures, they talk to one another.”
Documentary, focuses on the natural they are intelligent they
have developed senses. She almost personified them. She
compares the hunters as having the same developed senses as
the narwhal has. The need of both are equal she is making an
under stand this, that we shouldn’t prioritise one above the
other. Equal consideration for both.

- Literary emotive language
- Line 3-4: “plumes of spray
from the narwhal catching
the light in a spectral play of
colours.” Suggests they are
mystical creatures.
- Line 4-5: “often looking as if they were going to
merge, but always slowly methodically passing each
other.” Dream like dance. “Methodically passing”
suggests they have a way of thinking, to know their
way around and how to not bash into each other.
- Line 6-7: “the glittering kingdom in front of
me and took a sharp intake of breath.”
Dream land, she is stunned by her
surroundings and that this literally takes
her breath away.
- Line 7-8: “the evening light was turning
butter-gold, glinting off man and whale and
catching the soft bullies of smoke .” Traditional
way of life, romantic imagery man and nature
being in harmony. A sense of equality because
“light was glinting off man and whale.@
- Line 11-12: “I fell to wondering if the
narwhal existed at all or were instead
mischievous tricks of the shifting
light..” dreamlike world, because the
narwhals are so mystical and magical
creatures to her they don’t seem real.
- Line 3-4: “plumes of spray
from the narwhal catching
the light in a spectral play of
colours.” Suggests they are
mystical creatures.
