Shark Diving Persuasive Essay
“Survival can be summed up in three words-Never Give Up-That's the heart of it really”, Bear Grylls
The day was Thursday, October 20th, 2016. Jeff and his friends, Timmy and Bob were going to go on a Boat ride In the Pacific Ocean. The boat they were in was a cabin cruiser, with a small cabin below deck.
A minute later they were packing their few belongings they brought with below deck along with the inflatable raft and a survival pack.
“Let's go,” shouted Timmy
Timmy started the engine and they were flying away. About ten minutes into the ride something went wrong. The engine sputtered then died.
Jeff and Timmy went to get the survival pack and inflatable raft. When they came up Bob was trying to fix the engine when it exploded sending everyone soaring overboard.
Jeff and Timmy were blowing up the raft when they realized that bob wasn’t there. They started to search and

It took a minute to take in what was happening. It was a shark. A giant Oceanic whitetip shark. He could recognize the shark because of its short, bluntly-rounded snout and its long body with round fins. He read somewhere in a book that it is considered one of the five most dangerous sharks in the world. He also read that it has a very powerful bite force.
Now fully aware what was happening Jeff grabbed the spear and swam up to the shark. Then he saw Timmy in its jaws.
“NO” yelled Jeff as he jabbed the spear into the shark until it stopped. He grabbed Timmy and tried everything he knew to save Timmy but is was no use, Timmy was gone.
Jeff swam back to the raft to fix everything after the attack. The tarp was ripped to shreds, one of the bottles was gone, the spear was now just a pile of mulch, and the food supply was all gone, all the fish gone. No food no shelter. Everything was lost. Then Jeff saw it, the bright light coming from a search helicopter.
“Over here,” yelled Jeff, even though he knew the pilot saw him. He was safe, finally

    Shark: Blood and Dr. Ramos

    by Herbert House Biology Department Elon University, Elon, N.C. It was 5:00 PM on a hot summer afternoon. Eight-year-old Jim Morris, wading in the warm current off Florida's Gulf Coast, swam easily toward his sister Amy and his uncle Robert. But the kids' fun in the shoulder-deep water was cut short by Jim's shouts of "Get it off me! Get it off me!" Amy's screams sliced through the peacefully rolling breakers like a knife, "Help! A shark has bitten off my brother's arm! Call 911!" Nearby swimmers heard the cries as Uncle Robert yelled, "Help us get the shark. It swallowed the arm!" The swimmers converged on the spot, grabbing the six-and-a-half-foot bull shark by the tail and holding on for dear life. The twitching shark was hauled ashore barehanded by the group of men and shot. They pried open the shark's mouth while Robert pulled Jim's right arm out from between its jaws. As the boy's blood soaked into the white sand, lifeguards began CPR and applied a tourniquet. Paramedics arrived to stabilize Jim for transport to nearby Coastal Hospital. His arm was packed in ice and taken along. In the emergency room, Dr. Elaine Rogers, the physician on duty, quickly ordered multiple transfusions to restore the boy's blood supply as the ER team began stabilizing his vital signs. Dr. Rogers began assembling the operating room team that would attempt to reattach Jim's arm. She called Ronan McBane, a microvascular surgeon, at his home. "Ronan, we have a cleanly severed arm due to a shark bite. It looks like it was just chopped off, with not much shredding of the tissue. The sharp-edged teeth of the shark bit through the boy's arm so cleanly it almost seems to have been severed by a cleaver. The boy is eight years old and, although he is still in pretty bad shape, we think that since the arm was recovered and is in reasonably good condition, we have a good chance at success." Further conversation convinced Ronan that reattachment was possible. By the time Dr.…
