Bethany Hamilton: Tiger Shark

Many things about the film remake of Bethany's story are the same as the real-life event. Bethany and her family helped as much as they could with the film- making process, and met with each of the cast members before, as well as throughout, the filming process. Some of the similarities to the real- life event include Bethany's excitement to return to the water and her old surfing life, as well as the timeline in which she did. Bethany began surfing again within one month of her attack. Other similarities were that of: her cutting fruit by holding it between her feet, her taking the arm off of one of her Barbie dolls to match hers, and her overall hard work to go on to having a pro- surfer career. Also, Bethany's family dog, Hana, was the actual dog that played "Ginger" in the movie.

A girl named Bethany Hamilton defeats all odds when she loses her arm in a shark attack. Through her faith and family she never loses her determination to get back on her board and return to competitive surfing. She has touched the lives of so many people with her charitable efforts, message, and her overall strength. She has become an inspiration for everyone around the world. Bethany shares her life story in the movie Soul Surfer, directed by Sean McNamara with performances by AnnaSophia Robb, Helen Hunt, and Carrie Underwood. The movie follows the life of Bethany Hamilton, a thirteen-year-old competitive surfer in Kauai, Hawaii. Even though Soul Surfer is based on a true story, the movie itself is only semi-accurate, as demonstrated by character, plot, and special effects.

Her family, friends, and faith helped her train for the competition. She learned how to pull up on her board with a handle special made to help her stay on the board while paddling out to the wave. After training so long, she enters the competition. With minutes left she was in third place, when the water became calm. Everyone was waiting on a wave, and all of a sudden Bethany Hamilton paddles out. Right before the buzzer sounds she catches the big wave. Bethany didn’t make the buzzer in time and looses the competition, but that didn’t stop her. Instead gave her joy about getting back out there and proving

Even though Bethany lost her arm, she was still audacious, courageous and especially spirited. After getting attacked by a fierce creature, Bethany still wanted to keep doing what she loved, which was surfing.

Joni Eareckson Tada once said, “Sometimes God permits what he hates to accomplish what he loves” (Goodreads). Since she was born on October 15th, 1949, Joni had always been an athletic, horse-loving young lady (“Sweet Surrender” 39). That changed one hot summer day in 1967 when seventeen-year-old Joni went to the Chesapeake Bay with her sister and her boyfriend. While swimming, she dove into the water not knowing that it was shallow. As a result of the shallow water, Joni hit her head on a rock and broke her neck. Luckily, her sister found her and got her safely to a hospital. Due to the break in her neck, Joni has had to deal with the life-threatening condition of quadriplegia, or paralysis from the shoulders down without the use of her

Trying to adapt to the chores she had to relearn was a difficult process, but
