Sharkasm The year was two thousand, fifteen , Claire Spedale, Janie Spedale, and I were enjoying a leisurely day on the warm white sand of Rosemary Beach. Lathered in dermatologist recommended sunblock, we embrace the warm essence of the summer sun. The Spedale’s had obtained several chairs, boogie boards, and most importantly Tahiti Island. Tahiti Island was an extravagant inflatable island with drink holders, chairs, and a slide. The entire extended Spedale family attended the annual family beach trip, and that day were all there on the ever so coveted Tahiti Island. Claire, Janie, and I decide to snatch some boogie boards and go towards their dad and brother, Michael. They were kayaking along the second sand bar.

Regardless of my young age or naiveness, I knew more than enough to understand to never want to be anywhere near such a dangerous, powerful, frightening, yet elegant creatures. This rather strange fear was brought on once I read a book about a child that was attacked by a shark. I enjoyed the book quite a bit, but it still scared me. The beast was approximately fifteen to sixteen inches and swimming as gracefully as a princess dancing at a royal ball. Contemplating why I fear these animals so much, it’s thick and rough skin brushed against my leg. Claire analyzed the situation well enough and placed her hand over my mouth so my screaming would not cause the shark to get defensive and …show more content…
I swam back to shore like I was competing for a gold medal. The saltiness of the water splashed on my face with every stroke. A few yards behind me, Claire and Janie rushed towards that warm sand. The sun was beaming on my back as I was gliding to safety. Finally, we all reached that point were all the waves start crashing and sighed with relief. We paused for a moment reflecting on the series of events that had just occurred. I vividly remember myself still shaking in fright. The twins tried to reassure me, “Hey Piper, it is ok, you just have to relax.” I took four deep breathes and finished our trek to
I felt like Barbie, the island princess, bouncing over the gargantuan valleys to the next mound of sand. Before I knew it, Poseidon had his grip on me, I was definitely lost. Even though the towering hotel buildings all seemed the same, I continued my journey down the endless North Myrtle Beach located in South Carolina. After at least an hour of hopping around the mini islands, a middle-aged woman with long, dark hair, like Selena Golmez’s, approached me and asked, “Sweetie, are you lost?”

But it made to think more about the fate of these animals. Stewart demonstrated sharks are not mindless killing machines; they act like most big predators, who met with humans in their native environment. And these creatures suffer from humans’ actions more than people suffer from their attacks. Sharks were presented as timid, smart creatures that did not have deliberate plans to attack people. Annual tolls because of sharks are much less than deaths resulted in meetings with crocodiles, tigers or elephants.

The Great White Shark The Great White Sharks, known mostly because of their white underbellies, are one of the most powerful aquatic animals in the world. They can swim at about 25 Miles Per Hour (40 Kilometers per hour) because of their strong muscles and forceful tails. In addition to that, male Great Whites can grow around 11.5 to 13.1 feet long, while females can grow from 14.8 to 16.4 feet long. This paper will demonstrate how Great White Sharks are an important part of their ecosystem, how their diets work and will adequately describe their habitats. As predators in their ecosystem, Great White sharks help maintain the coral reefs and seagrass habitats.
Hammerhead sharks rarely attack humans. Only 17 atacked have happened in the last 450 years but none of the attacks were serious enough to be fatal. The animal i'm going to be comparing the hammerhead to is a bottlenose dolphin. The dolphin doesn't chew its food it just goes down the throat like a snakes. I think that the dolphin would be a better survival than the hammerhead because they live in a lot more places than the hammerhead.

My nerves from the first class unexpectedly came rushing back. These students grew into great swimmers, but I knew that the depth of the water could petrify them. The first few students were able to swim back up with little to no effort, but the last girl lost her footing and slipped into the pool and couldn 't resurface. I froze as I saw her struggling to swim and breathe. My mind quickly flashed back to the time I jumped out of my tube and almost drowned.
This idea is mimicked by the peripheral narrative voice which creates cerebral distancing from both the island itself and its citizens. Similarly, the juxtaposition of nature in “a huge bay protected from the winds …. the straits into the

I had a fear of water since I was a child, but somehow managed to take a risk and dive. You know the feeling of being underwater? The bone-crushing pressure of gallons of water envelops every inch of your body and sinks into your lungs, your brain, your heart. While you remain remarkably void of feeling, the fullness of defeat dominates your mind until all that is left inside you are the remnants of the sea’s terrors. Underwater, there are no sounds from the outside world - no cries from those you have wronged, no professions of love hidden inside for too long, no vicious words flung ruthlessly at your feet from the glares of passing strangers.
