The Comparison of JAWS And Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home Some films often have themes and messages in them that are only relevant to the time the film was made. One such example is the movie Jaws, which depicts a shark as the main antagonist. For its time the movie was incredibly successful playing upon the fears people had of sharks while swimming. However with awareness of the planet increasing and people understanding that sharks are endangered species which humans are invading their habitat in the first place, movies like Jaws are less acceptable. This is the reason why most rip off movies of Jaws are these terrible B grade movies.
You must have observed in experiments related to diffusion that if you drop ink in water it takes quite a while to dissipate , so how can the individual particles of smell travel so far and quickly? Apparently a shark can smell the blood of their prey up to a quarter of a mile away.There is two ways that sharks receive the scent of blood, diffusion and water currents. Diffusion is an extremely slow process as you have observed in the ink experiment. The molecules that carry the odour of the blood gradually disperse from its starting point, from where the concentration gradient is highest, moving randomly and slowly across the water until the shark catches its scent. The other way is when the water currents carry the blood molecules by the movement of water.
But to the average human, sharks are demonized into vicious monsters. (Kimly, 4) The reasons for the demonization of the great whites are humans’ superficial anthropomorphism attitudes that sharks choose to eat humans as their prey. These beliefs are enforced by the media and society seeking to over-spectacularize the species. The fear that the media forces upon humans to feel about sharks has been transformed into fascination and obsession with the animals. Hunters are now encouraged to kill the great whites to support the widely popular shark-fin industry in Asia as well as to report back to the American beaches that they will be free from shark attacks.

The film reveals SeaWorld’s behind the scenes of what actual goes on at everyone’s favorite amusement park. As the documentary goes on, more is revealed about the emotional and physical pain the orcas endure.

Sharks play a very important role in the ocean’s ecosystem. They are the ocean’s top predator, and without them, the balance between predator and prey will become very unstable. The rapid reduction of sharks is disrupting the ocean’s equilibrium. Healthy oceans require sharks, and without healthy oceans, healthy fisheries are impossible. But currently are up to 73 million sharks are finned alive every year.
Also when the divers catch Nemo and bring him to their boat, Nemo’s dad Marlin wouldn’t go and chase the boat. When Marlin is trying to find Nemo, he came upon a group of sharks. You would think that the sharks would eat him, but they don’t. The shark’s motto is “Fish are Friends not Food.” So that is a meager unrealistic part in this movie. When Dorie joins the adventure with Marlin they come upon swimming goggles that the divers used to see to catch Nemo.
Drewe uses reoccurring symbols to reinforce the themes of impending danger and creates a sinister atmosphere. It can be seen throughout the memoir of Drewes life; he has always had a fascination with sharks, and writes how as a child he even captured a carpet shark as a sign of strength in an attempt to impress his love interest, Roberta. The title of the novel ‘The Shark Net’ suggests the literal idea of a shark net that in theory are used to keep sharks at bay but in reality is a poor response to the dangers of sharks themselves as they don't help much and can only provide a false sense of security. The shark can also be seen as a metaphor of Cooke, an unseen killer, who is ever present searching and waiting for its next prey, instilling fear by his reputation and his perceptible vagueness, being like a shark. He is a friendly/familiar face to everyone, but then when he murders his victims he becomes unfamiliar to most.
Brevetoxin (also known as red tide) is a problem for not only marine life, but us humans as well. As stated in the first altered oceans video, one of the major problems with the ocean is that it has turned into a bartering field where we deposit our trash and “shop” for food by pulling fish out of their habitat. What if even our fish and trash weren’t the only problem? Well they aren’t. Researchers and even residents around Florida’s sunny coast have been discovering the red tide’s harmful effects on marine life.
While in the ocean, he finds a shark that was willing to take him under his wing. At the, the goldfish wasn’t aware that the shark named Sammy was going to teaching him lesson about life. In the lesson, the author points out a very important lesson such as goldfish wait to be fed and sharks go find their food. I think this lesson relates to the differences in faith and fear, the effects of each, and how to leave fear behind and replace it with faith; you shouldn’t be scared to get out there and get what you want out of life. As counselors we can’t be afraid to step out on faith by believing in ourselves and leave the fear behind us, don’t be scare to take control; the world can sometimes be a difficult place to live.
They are also the prey for top predators such as sharks and rays, and with the absence of the Bluefin Tuna in the water, the sharks and other predators will have a massive food shortage. The Bluefin population has decreased by a devastating
