Our first hour and I have already consumed about a quart of the saltiest, salt-water I have ever tasted. I finally got the hang of it when our teacher related it to gymnastics. Everyone got the hang of it by then. We were all having fun and games until we saw a silver fin braking the surface of the water. The lifeguards went insane but unfortunately Emma didn't see the shark, and I surfed by her and yelled," Emma shark!!" It was too late by the time I was on the grainy, squishy sand Emma was gone.

The shark represents man vs nature throughout the whole story up until the end. From the very beginning of both the film and novel, it starts off looking through the shark’s perspective. The novel’s intro gives some exposition about sharks, including one important definition about anoxia: “Once, if ever, it stopped, it would sink to the bottom of the ocean and die of anoxia” (Benchley 3). This definition not only acts as exposition, but also foreshadows how the shark eventually dies in the end of the novel. After the expository phase of both the movie and novel, the shark attacks its first victim--a drunk woman named Crissy.
