    Shark: Blood and Dr. Ramos

    • 1042 Words
    • 5 Pages

    by Herbert House Biology Department Elon University, Elon, N.C. It was 5:00 PM on a hot summer afternoon. Eight-year-old Jim Morris, wading in the warm current off Florida's Gulf Coast, swam easily toward his sister Amy and his uncle Robert. But the kids' fun in the shoulder-deep water was cut short by Jim's shouts of "Get it off me! Get it off me!" Amy's screams sliced through the peacefully rolling breakers like a knife, "Help! A shark has bitten off my brother's arm! Call 911!" Nearby swimmers heard the cries as Uncle Robert yelled, "Help us get the shark. It swallowed the arm!" The swimmers converged on the spot, grabbing the six-and-a-half-foot bull shark by the tail and holding on for dear life. The twitching shark was hauled ashore barehanded by the group of men and shot. They pried open the shark's mouth while Robert pulled Jim's right arm out from between its jaws. As the boy's blood soaked into the white sand, lifeguards began CPR and applied a tourniquet. Paramedics arrived to stabilize Jim for transport to nearby Coastal Hospital. His arm was packed in ice and taken along. In the emergency room, Dr. Elaine Rogers, the physician on duty, quickly ordered multiple transfusions to restore the boy's blood supply as the ER team began stabilizing his vital signs. Dr. Rogers began assembling the operating room team that would attempt to reattach Jim's arm. She called Ronan McBane, a microvascular surgeon, at his home. "Ronan, we have a cleanly severed arm due to a shark bite. It looks like it was just chopped off, with not much shredding of the tissue. The sharp-edged teeth of the shark bit through the boy's arm so cleanly it almost seems to have been severed by a cleaver. The boy is eight years old and, although he is still in pretty bad shape, we think that since the arm was recovered and is in reasonably good condition, we have a good chance at success." Further conversation convinced Ronan that reattachment was possible. By the time Dr.…

    Blackfish criticizes SeaWorld for lying to the general public and denying the animal's aggression when the attacks took place, supporting the image of a "cuddly toy." The film utilizes the same emotional manipulation it accuses SeaWorld of to make the viewer perceive the animals as normally friendly and inquisitive in order to enhance the horror and shock value of their killing humans while in captivity.…

    Jaws

    Steven Spielberg created a film based off the thriller novel, Jaws, by Peter Benchley. Both the movie and the book tell the story of a giant man-eating great white shark and focus on the terror brought to the people of Amity Island. The movie does follow the novel’s main story line closely, however, when a producer turns a book into a film, it’s practical for one to thicken its plot line, and for two, tell the original story. The horror brought by the shark’s attacks are illustrated vividly throughout the text, as the film on the other hand , does not express the genre as the way the text does.…

    The Great White Shark

    Both of these types of teeth are used for different purposes. The long sharp teeth are great for catching fish because they pierce the fish; the wide serrated teeth are specifically made for tearing into flesh. It is said that great white sharks do not have the strongest force behind their bite but their teeth make up for the strength with their sharpness; in essence, the teeth do all the work for the shark. With the basics of the great white shark easily understood there is so much more information about the great white to delve into. In order to understand great white sharks, we must look further into the mind of the shark and interpret their body language, their hunting patterns, and their advanced eight…

    Jaws Film Review

    Also I like the way Spielberg has created the movie so that the shark is not shown for a long period of time, even though it is the “Main Character”. This creates tension because it creates an effect on the audience; the shark is portrayed as an unearthly, invincible, being that no one seems to be able to capture. For the first part the image of the shark is left for the audience’s imagination. In this way Spielberg plays on the fear of the unknown. He doesn’t keep the audience in suspense for a very long time because he knew that that would just be extremely…
