  these waters for generations. If you spend any amount of time here, you

  will see that the people in this area have a very special relationship with the

  dolphins that live in this bay. We respect each other and live in harmony. It

  came to my attention that one of the young dolphins—the daughter of a

  dolphin that lives right here—was unlawfully captured and held in captivity

  at Puerto Marino.” José took a deep breath and looked squarely into the

  lens of the camera. He was not squirming or fidgeting under the immense

  pressure, but faced the issue directly and continued his speech in a self-

  assured tone. He was a natural orator,33 Alexa thought.

  “Nobody has the right, either legal or ethical, to take a dolphin from

  these waters. It broke my heart to see this travesty34 of justice and freedom.

  I did what any other compassionate person would do.” José paused for dra-

  matic effect, like a master elocutionist.35 “I set the young dolphin free.”

  A spontaneous cheer arose from the boisterous36 crowd that was

  undeniably in support of José and the inspiring ethos37 he evoked with

  his words. The camera briefly panned the throng38 of people and then cut

  back to the reporter, who explained that José was being held by the local

  authorities. He was charged with multiple crimes and would face prison

  time if convicted. Finally, the news piece ended.

  Alexa was bursting with emotions. Watching the broadcast was a

  surreal39 experience. It was hard to believe that last night she and José

  had freed a dolphin, and today it was turning into a sensationalized40

  story on international television.
