Shark Vs Sword Fish
This quote gives the reader a sense of impending doom. You know the shark is going to attack and kill the old man. The precise description of the shark makes it feel as if you are face to face with it. Also, the long paragraph makes it seem like the story is going in slow motion. Even so, the sentences don’t run on making the paragraph easy to read. The comparison between the shark and swordfish was well thought out. It is common knowledge that sword fishes are a blue-silver color, and look aerodynamic, much like a mako shark. Even though this essay was great overall, the sentence fluency was merely average. From what I read, his essay was a collection of sentences with similar length sentences. The sentence group,”The shark swung over and

    The Samurai’s bushido and the European Knights chivalry were both codes of honor which consisted of fighting for their earthly lord, but when it came down to committing ritual suicide for their god only Samurais were up for the challenge; setting them aside from the Knights. These two different types of people clash swords when it comes to how they view women and what they wear going into battle.…

    Before critiquing the overall ineffectiveness of the essay, there are individual effective elements that should be highlighted. One such element is the abundance of vivid imagery utilized in the beginning of the essay by the author to invoke emotion and empathy in the reader as well as to entice them to read further. The image of the ice “steaming from the remains of gutted carcasses” and stained blood red is gruesome and paints a negative picture of seal hunting that serves to help persuade the audience that the hunting is horrific and…

    The details of the quote show how frightened and cold and lonely these men were. The author included the sharks to represent the constant and very real threat of death and the problem of survival against these unlikely odds. The description of the ocean as calm relates to the situation like the calm before a storm in the sense that these men’s time on those rafts was likely the lesser of all evils that they had to endure from the day of the crash to the day they were liberated. Overall, the author chose to detail this setting because it gives depth and adds slight drama to the situation rather than just telling the reader that it was cold and there were sharks.…

    Shark and the Goldfish

    • 2079 Words

    I chose “The Shark And The Goldfish” by Jon Gordon for my book report. This book is about positive ways to thrive during waves of change and follows a goldfish named Gordy who washes out into the ocean. Gordy has always been taken care of and fed daily, but doesn’t know how to act or get food when he is in the ocean. He meets a nice shark named Sammy who teaches him how to find food and take care of himself. The story is a lesson for how you never know what life is going to throw at you and when a new challenge or change comes your way, it is up to you to embrace the change and learn to grow instead of viewing the change as a negative. The lingering question in the beginning of the story is are you a shark or a goldfish and how you can learn to become a shark if you tend to have more goldfish like tendencies.…

    The Great White Shark

    • 2101 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Great white sharks are known as the most dangerous of the shark species because of their sheer size and their quick mind that make them the ultimate predator. A comparison can be seen in Figure 1, where the great white shark is seen next to a human, this image is showing the sizing difference between the two species. The shark is so captivating that there is an entire week each year dedicated to these creatures to learn more about them and the world they live, in an area that is vastly undiscovered. There is enough evidence through fossils that can date the shark back four-hundred million years ago, which was a time before dinosaurs were roaming the Earth (“Shark Basics”).…

    “The Shark” shows how powerful nature can be by showing how easy it can kill and what an efficient predator it is. The people in this poem are quite angry with the shark once they realise what the shark has done. The people hack into the shark to get the child’s remains once they discover what the giant beast has done.…

    “Take This Fish and Look at it*” by Samuel H. Scudder is the most compelling essay for this week’s reading assignment because the author wrote in an organized, laughable tone; therefore, allowing its audience to perceive the lesson as the professor intended it to be learned. Likewise, Scudder used three different apparent modes in his essay, these include: comparison / contrast, narrative, and description. I particularly liked this essay because it relates to the great significance that in every scenario, even writing, that things can be overlooked and need to be re-examined to find better, more sufficient details. Scudder also uses humor throughout his narrative, which compared to some essays, is quite enjoyable. Overall, every individual…

    Jaws Analysis

    • 1340 Words

    All of a sudden the man’s boat is tipped over, as well as Michaels, and the shark comes up slowly and grabs him and pulls him under. There is a close-up shot of Michaels face with the expression of fear and shock. The sound of the man’s screaming is heard and then we see Jaws head coming out of the water to grab the man and his leg fall to the bottom of the pond. Already an hour into the two hour film; this is the first time that the director has given us a view of what Jaws looks like. Such suspense has been placed on what this creature looks like and Spielberg delivers it in this shocking scene by not using the non-diegetic sound that we have so far associated with the shark attacks.…

    One may believe that this story is very beneficial because it shows you that you need to take every experience and really appreciate the moment because there might not ever be another one like this. While reading through the essay the first time, trying to find his main points were difficult. His stories and his examples made it much easier to understand where exactly he was going. His essay was structured very well, although being frustrated due to not finding his main ideas the first time reading this essay, confusion about where he was headed never occurred. Agreement with his statements were constantly occurring while reading. Every point or example that he provided was backed up with evidence. Something that stood out to this reader was his example of the dogfish. This example talked about how there is a relationship that is between a dogfish and Shakespeare sonnet. A student that is desired to have either of these will have difficulty retrieving the creature itself from an educational package. This stood out because one may have never thought of putting these two subjects in the same sentence. This essay was one that stood out because it made one think logically throughout the whole…
