Short Summary : ' The Shark '

In our daily lives, we face various pressures that can ultimately result in bad decision-making, and poor judgement. However, it is not these pressures that prevent us from becoming a better version of ourselves, but our denial to acknowledge and learn from the trial that prevents our change. In “The Seafarer”, Conor McPherson illustrates this idea through the character of Sharky. The Irish play, set in a coastal town in northern Dublin, revolves around the main character, "Sharky" who moves back to Dublin in order to help his blind brother, Richard. Through characterization, McPherson shows that salvation is possible for people like Sharky because the main character has the potential to change and to become a better version of himself. It is shown through acceptance of responsibility, change and bettering his relationship with Nicky.

The movie Blackfish is a documentary of the story of Tilikum, a captive killer whale that has taken several lives, exploits the issues amongst the sea-park industry, and illustrates how little is known about these intelligent mammals. The experiences and treatment of the Orcas in Blackfish share commonalities with that of Blacks in America. The film touches on commonalities that can be generalized in comparison with slavery: family, captivity, sound and language, natural and captured behavior, separation. Through genes, captivity and the psychological and physical abuse of the whales in the movie Blackfish, one can determine and acknowledge that there is a correlation between the situation of African Americans today and the enslavement

So Fernanda jumped and “pencil dived” to grab Roene, and it worked! But when Fernanda was grabbing Roene, she dropped the rope and hatchet. When Nathan and I were landing in the water, we had to loosen the chest strap before we landed. Once we landed we had to take it off carefully and let the parachute sink. Roene and Fernanda wanted to save the parachute, for supplies. So before they hit the water, Fernanda dropped Roene into the water, Roene swam away a little. While Fernanda was still in the air she loosened the chest strap and when she landed she took it off. Meanwhile, Roene quickly grabbed the parachute and successfully saved it. We swam towards each other while Nathan inflated the dinghy. We were about a three-minute swim away from each other, but there were some pretty big waves. When we noticed that there were sharks! While the rest of us were panicking, Fernanda discovered that they were whale sharks! She told us that whale sharks don’t eat humans! We were so relieved. While we were paddling to shore, Roene hit Nathan in the head with her oar! Nathan got a concussion, but he was okay since he just lay on the bottom of the dinghy. We were a six-hour paddle

According to the story, a giant monster was eating and drinking the blood of the village people. They held a meeting wondering how to solve this problem. One of the man traveled to the giant’s cave with a plan to kill the monster. He laid down in the middle of the path and pretended to play dead. Giant found him and eagerly carried the man home. When he left for a while and his son entered, the brave man grabbed the knife and threatened the boy. He told the boy to tell him where his father’s heart was or he would kill him. The boy said that it was in his left heel. The man waited for the giant to come home and when he finally did, the brave man plunged the knife into giant’s heel and killed him. Giant’s story is very similar to Achilles myth from Greek mythologies whose weak spot was also placed on his heel. Despite the great strength he had, an arrow that stabbed his heel killed

Strategy is not easily defined and furthermore the term is not exclusively related to just the business world. We can confidently say strategy is key to survival, not only in business but also in the animal kingdom. All animals under go a process of constant change in their physical appearance and in their behaviour. These changes take place over millions of years and the species that survive, do so because throughout their evolution they have perfected certain strategies that have enabled them to develop more successfully in the environment they inhabit. One such case of this successful development is the great hammerhead shark.

Beginning with the simplest one-celled organism, an extraordinary animal rose in the murky waters entitled to a non-comparable killing-eating machine. This organism has become nature’s most genuine and most successful creature that it has remained unchanged for over 250 million years. Nature finally invented the perfect king of the sea. This animal has given the sea it’s “living” adjective; in turn, it was entitled—the “great white shark.”

Over the past few months, I’ve contracted the unavoidable case of the common college prompt, characterized by frequent headbanging-laden writer's block, esoteric-thesaurus searching (in the attempt to appear tremendously perspicacious), and elaborate philosophical rambling.
