Shark Wars Book Report

The relationship of African-American slaves to their owners have been portrayed with a sense of dependency. In John Singleton Copley’s “Watson and the Shark” (c. 1778) and William Sidney Mount’s “Eel Spearing at Setauket” (c. 1845), each artist depicts a dependent relationship between master and slave. Copley’s “Watson and the Shark” is a painting that was commissioned to tell the story of a shark attack that happened to Brook Watson. The painting includes nine different people trying to help the tenth person, Watson, who was attacked by the shark.

Some killer whales were even born into parks. Yes,

There is one moment in the story where all his developed instincts were challenged. He was met with a school of flying fish that would jump out of the water and into the lifeboat. He had wrapped one fish in a blanket and intended to kill it with a hatchet. He could not bring himself to kill this fish with a hatchet but ultimately can not go through with it. Pi ends up

When a shark is turned upside down they tend to go into a paralyzed state and can do nothing to fight back. Killer whales have learned that doing this move has shown

The events that follow involves the hyena killing the zebra and orangutan and then being killed itself by the tiger who spends 227 days at sea with Pi Patel. One of the strongest themes in the movie is that of resilience. Surviving a shipwreck that killed his entire family was traumatic enough. To add to that, not only did he see a hyena viciously kill the orangutan he was immensely fond of, but he was also now stuck on a boat in the middle of the Pacific ocean with a tiger that had already tried to attack him.

There has been various occasions where trainers have died or been near to death. On one occasion a trainer was grabbed by the foot and dragged down into the water for up to a 1:30 repeatedly, eventually the killer whale let go and the trainer was free but he was close to death. Nevertheless the trainers work alongside these mammals everyday and make connections to them like someone would a pet: “Those are not your whales, Ya know, you love them, and you think, I'm the one that touches them, feeds them, keeps them alive, gives them the care that they need. They're NOT your whales. They own them!”

Mick Fanning and Julian Wilson were competing in the J-Bay Open in Jeffrey’s Bay in South Africa. As the men were swimming out into the bay on their surf boards Fanning’s board was attacked by the great white shark. The shark grabbed the cord by Fanning’s ankle. Fanning was dragged off the board and into the water, but he kicked, punched and screamed at the shark and took his ankle cord off.

The Final Journey Dr. Seuss once wrote “I've heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I've brought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” In the novella The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago, the old man, became acquainted with a multitude of troubles while at sea. During his journey he met a Marlin, and struggled many days and nights with this fish, eventually ending the battle with a spear through its heart.

Rory McAuley, a shark expert with the Department of Fisheries, “asserts that the film Jaws is a seminal point for most media responses and the histrionic reporting reinforces popular images of great whites as man-eating predators” (Francis, 44) McAuley also states that “shark attacks do not need this form of hype because people are interested in[shark attacks] anyway.” (Francis, 44) Before the turn of the twentieth century, anything known about sharks was mostly based on “myths and sea lore.” (Francis, 45) Previous to more recent times, people believed sea monsters and serpents were skulking in the unknown depths of the ocean.

Andy Dehart, Discovery Channel Shark Advisor, spoke about the North Carolina shark over fishing problem. The shark populations on the East Coast were extremely over-fished which lead to the over population of sting rays, a main food-stock for sharks. The stingrays in turn decimated the shellfish populations on the East Coast, leading to calm and shellfish shortages. This shows that sharks are necessary for every eco-system and their destruction affects us in more ways then we can imagine. Sharks are very at-risk for over-fishing because they take a long time to reach the stage where they can reproduce and in general only have a few pups when they give birth.

Everything about placing orcas in captivity is wrong, and it all starts at the capturing of the whales. Its not just the fact that people are taking them from their natural environment, but it 's how the people do it. Pods are located and then hunted down in a quite aggressive manner. Pods are chased into coves with bombs, aircraft, and boats until captured in a corral made of net. One by one, the babies, who are supposed to stay with their mother their entire life, are picked out and kidnaped from the pod.

Before Herman the UPD had to call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission but they don’t take alligator calls anymore so then UPD had to settle to trapping them and then calling a Trappers. Trappers kill the alligators (Krebs). So much trouble goes into dealing with an alligator that’s why I strongly believe that we shouldn’t have gators living in the SoVi lake. What’s the point of constantly having to deal with this issue.

Odysseus then went to the beach and began to swim out into the ocean. After an hour or two of swimming in the ocean Odysseus decided to cut himself to lure a shark. After he did this he only had to wait a couple minutes until a shark appeared. The shark began to circle Odysseus waiting for a moment to attack, and Odysseus was following the shark waiting to attack as well. Suddenly the shark made its move at Odysseus, but Odysseus was one step ahead and he flailed to the side and jabbed his spear into the heart of the shark killing it.

Only why the trainers have close relationships with the whales because they are feeding them fish. All whales in captivity are traumatized. (Blackfish) The campaign is called “Meet the Animals” that involves introducing their
