How does the writer show the conflict in her thoughts and feeling about hunting? The writer uses her personal experience to describe the feeling and thoughts in a harsh environment vividly. In the third paragraph, the writer writes a few sentences to show that ‘an essential contributor to the survival of the hunters in High Arctic’. It can be obviously seen that catching the narwhals to eat is necessary, as the people need to survive on them. The author uses some technical language such as ‘vitaminC’ and ‘scurvy’ to implie that this is the only source of food, energy, tools and money in the High Arctic, which shows her sympathy to the hunters as hunting for Narwale is the only job they can do. The area in the High Arctic is not suitable for growing other vegetables. Narwhals has a rich source of useful nutrition, so Inuit people catch the narwhal as a main source of food. Also, the Narwhal’s ivory can be used for many things such as ‘harpoon tips’, ‘hunting implements’ and ‘central beam for their small ancient dwellings’. These fully describe that Inuit people can’t live without the Narwale, as it can help the Inuit people to survive. The writer’ feelings are explicit in the sixth paragraph, the hyperbole, such as ‘my heart leapt’ is used when the hunter was about to harpoon the narwhal. It shows how narwhal’s intriguing action is. The hunter has much courage to catpure the Narwale, which it is not a easy job at all and should not be looked down. Even though this action was done by the hunter, the writer feels as anxious and concerned due to her sympathy towards the potential danger and hurt the hunter may have in hunting a Narwale. The writer feels that she should respect and admire the hunter at this point for his courageous and gallant actions. on the other hand, the writer thinks that hunting is cruel and should be avoided by providing positive accounts of the narwhals. She uses the technique of personification to describe them as ‘intelligent creatures’, and engages a fact that we should not hunt them. This shows an inner conflict whether to support the hunter catching the narwhal or not. In this passage, we can read that the writer seems to take the side of the hunter ultimately. She uses short sentence, such as ‘hunting is still an absolute necessity in Thule’, which acknowledges the guilt she may fell for victimizing a narwhal. She recognizes the fact that this is also crucial for the survival of hunters.
