As I read through Chapter 5-7 There seems to be a question asked if a culture should be solely dependant on the past or the actions of current culture.It seems much of the mermaids value tradition and history ,while yetu herself continues to wish to live in the present like many of her species.The actions of her entire community seem to bring these doubts where Yetu questions their origins by saying that “how strange we wouldve looked to the first mothers:wild screaming fish creatures,scaled and boneless”.This statement begs the question if the amount of time changes a culture entirely and if their still the same culture from the ones they started from.This draws a parallel to the blue humanity’s in which should the investment that we have on the oceans be based on previous research where lacked the methods of investigation or should one start from the beggining in order to truly understand the oceans since they are everchanging.As yetu leaves her species it seems to show a close point of similarity to wanjinru where they seem to be running towards a history to relieve it and yetu is running toward a new history to learn from it.Yetu herself seems to be a different species all together from the wajinru and seems to be yearning for a place where there could be like minded individuals like her.
