“The Misunderstood Shark” was written by Gregory Skomal, a biologist at the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and shark fanatic. His article was published by The Wall Street Journal on August 7, 2015. The engaging title, itself grabs the reader’s attention, making the reader feel sympathetic towards the shark.

He supports his argument with strong appeals to logos, pathos, and ethos throughout the article.

People still swim in the ocean so it is good to know tips for swimming safely. The most important tip is to always swim with a buddy, never swim alone. Also things that may attract sharks are blood, swimming in a zig-zag pattern, hunched backs, shiny jewelry, bright colors or diving down deep.

This leather was used for making shoes, belts and handbags. Each year thousands of sharks are killed unintentionally due to nets used to catch different types of fish, and sometimes humans kill sharks because they fear them (Springer and Gold, 1989). All of these activities have resulted in many shark species being in danger of extinction.

Let’s get one thing straight, the ocean and myself don’t get along. I can think of better ways to die than getting shredded apart by a shark the size of my car. My fear of sharks stemmed from the time my parents thought it would be a fun thing to show a 5 year old the 1975 movie Jaws, the movie may have been fake but I can assure you my fear has been very genuine ever since.

Now, with the increase in human population, the demand for shark meat, fins, and cartilage are at an all time high; therefore, the existence of the shark is becoming a concern (Budker 1971). Individuals are conditioned to think of sharks as a negative aspect to the environment, which is prolonging the effort to save shark species from becoming extinct.

For example, shark oil can be used for makeup and cosmetics, shark cartilage pills supposedly benefits our health and is old in health food stores, and shark steaks are sold all over the world. Although there are many economic benefits from shark finning, it can also threaten recreational fisheries, and other traditional ways of fishing.

When people think of sharks often time they think of dangerous, man eating monsters that are just waiting to take a bite out of the next person they see.
