To what effect does ‘Jaws’ manipulate the conventions of the ‘Overcoming the Monster’ plot? The Anticipation Stage is when Jaws first attacks the drunken women going for a swim but is not eaten by the shark as he spits it out and lands ashore giving a warning to the tourists of Amity Island.

In the movie Jaws they got a new sheriff Martin Brody‚ he was sheriff that watched over the beach. He noticed that one day there washed remains of a shark victim.

"JAWS" This being my first time watching this movie‚ I was skeptical of whether or not I would like this particular film. For some unknown reason feature films that are shot on water I don’t particularly car for. With the knowledge of Speilberg being the director I was eager.
