The Truth About Sharks
Yes, the dialogue was realistic which presented the realistic view of family relationships. For examples, Beth’s mum asked her to go shopping and wash the dog.
Also, Beth must go to her uncle’s party that she really didn’t want to go but her mum required to go.
It’s a typical view of family relationships as the son and daughter always need to listen to their parents, they don’t even have any freedoms. For me, my mum is the typical mother too. She always force me to do the thing she wants, like she asked me to study in Canada despite I truly wanted to stay in Hong Kong. What a ridiculous! Also, she is annoying too. I’m seventeen now so I’m not a kid anymore, I know what I should do or shouldn’t, but she would still ask me to sleep when it is 11p.m. only or tell me this vegetables and that vegetables are healthy but she never know I don’t like vegetables.

I think she did a good job. She complained about Madge not because of the $650 gift certificate only, was because Madge offended her self-esteem. For example, she was humiliated by Madge since Madge asked her to take off the pants.
I think she was a typical young adult because she had strong self-esteem, for the typical young adults, they regard money as a very important thing, just like Beth, she would try to up the price of gift certificate. BUT IT’S NOT A BAD THING.

Firstly, since Beth didn’t take off her pants and then walked toward other section of pants, so Madge Groton misconstrued that she wanted to steal the pants.
Secondly, she had seen many kids doing this before, hence she didn’t believe what Beth’s explanation.
Lastly, she wanted to do her job and she enjoyed her power of ordering the people she caught.
If I were Madge Groton, I would definitely listen to Beth’s explanation since I wouldn’t know she was innocent or not.

You weren’t willing to attack by the shark, you didn’t want that happen. Similarly, Beth didn’t want to accuse falsely by Madge.
I think it was not a bad analogy,

    This could show that she was nervous and may also show that she is unsure about the case. Beth made it difficult for the members of the jury to hear and understand what she said, due to the fact that she speaks quietly. As well as the way she uses her voice when presenting, something else she does which may make it difficult for the jury to understand her is when she used the term reflux. This is a complex scientific term that certain members of the jury, if not all, may not know the meaning of. Due to this, jurors may miss out on vital evidence in this case as they are unclear of the meaning and therefore how significant it is to the…

    Except behind his back she relied on her instincts and pure courage. An example of this was when Clover left all four girls alone, she then told all the girls about her escape plan . Even though, for all she could know the girls could tell what she had said to Clover and she could be punished severely. Summer definitely relied on her gut instincts by talking to three girls, but for me I may have had a gut feeling like that, but I would have not gone by it. If I were put in the shoes of Summer, I would not trust anyone in that basement, because for all I could know one of them was put down there to inform everything that happened. The gamble Summer took, could have been life threatening, for me I would have only been plotting in my head, and would not have trusted anyone, and I would have been…

    1. In the story the truth about sharks the antagonists is Beth. She is a typical 17 year old girl that isn’t a morning person; however she seems welcoming and considerate.

Hanna is a flat character, although she is important to the story she isn’t described with a lot of detail. Madge P Groton is the security guard, she is the protagonist. From the introduction of Madge you could tell she was stern and not overly friendly. Another important character would be the officer that eventually listened to Beth’s story.…
