766 Words4 Pages

This is the last vacation of the year, class," explained Mrs. Spivey. It is the last year of middle school, so they take us on a ginormous field trip, Hawaii. The trip has a pricey cost of about two thousand four hundred dollars. "Beep Beep, Beep Beep." It is three thirty in the morning, and we have to grab our luggage and sleepily headed for the airport. Our flight leaves at five a.m. We have to pick up a couple friends on the way, so we have to leave extra early. After we pick up my friend we are going to Chick-fill-a. The crispy chicken melts in my mouth, the sprite just sparkles in the moonlight, and the saltiness of the waffle fries makes my mouth water.

"Welcome Powerdsville Middle School, we are pleased you are flying American today. We hope you have an excellent ride!" Politely spoke the flight attendant.

    My question for Mrs. Hillenbrand would be, these sharks only attacked during the day when they were awake, and usually when they were doing something that could already were in danger. Would the sharks just attack during hard times, or would the sharks be attacking whenever? If the sharks did attack all the time, then would that mean you wrote it that way, or did Louie tell you the exagerated one. I am questioning this because in your book it seems like the sharks only attacked when they were in danger. I just wonder why the sharks would act so generous by saving them so much energy.

    The shark represents man vs nature throughout the whole story up until the end. From the very beginning of both the film and novel, it starts off looking through the shark’s perspective. The novel’s intro gives some exposition about sharks, including one important definition about anoxia: “Once, if ever, it stopped, it would sink to the bottom of the ocean and die of anoxia” (Benchley 3). This definition not only acts as exposition, but also foreshadows how the shark eventually dies in the end of the novel. After the expository phase of both the movie and novel, the shark attacks its first victim--a drunk woman named Crissy.
