I have chosen the scene when Nicola is in the water and she is seeing a boat and when it comes closer she sees that it is Stratos that is i th boat and he start to throw spears at her but he miss and Nicola gets out of there alive.
I have chosen to connect it with a whale where the toss spears against the whales and capture them when there dead and sell it.
The differenses are that in a whale chase it´s on deep water and not so close to land and the scene from the book happens on not so deep water and near land. Another differens is that offen the whales don´t get away and Nicola gets away and lives, The last differens is that Nicola is human and not a whale.
The similaritys is that both the whale chasers and Stratos is tossing spears and their on a boat and got the purpose to kill and both Stratos and the whale chaser is a human.
I like the connection you have made between the book and real life.
