Sharks Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
The sharks were devouring men left and right. About 100 men a day were eaten by the creatures. The water was bloody, the men were tired, all hope had been lost. There was no sign of rescue

"You were constantly in fear because you'd see 'em (sharks) all the time. Every few minutes you'd see their fins - a dozen to two dozen fins in the water,” says Michael Cox, a survivor of the attack.

The men were floating in the water for days. Stuck in a merry go round to survive. They would take turns sleeping, eating and fighting off sharks.

    Sharkwater Rhetorical Analysis Sharkwater is a 2006 documentary created by Rob Stewart, a young biologist and underwater photographer.
