Cousteau's Great White Shark

Comments
1. After the failure with the model great white shark the crew set out again by the dangerous reef.
2. At 5:00 am one of the crew noticed one of the tuna bait lines missing instead of waking the crew he waited until he saw a dorsal fin and then woke everyone up.
3. They tagged him then used the tracking boat they named the titanic for the small leak in the boat.
4. They soon soon lost track bot ran into another shark they named Antoinette the next morning she was fourteen feet long female and had the largest girth of any shark they had come by. she was soon joined by Rosy and anew eleven foot female they named Amy.
5. The crew decided to tag and track Antoinette it proved to be a extremely long track that lasted twenty one and a half hours.
Questions
1. How do they get the tag to stay on the shark?
2. How many pups do great whites usually have?
3. Why would the DNA vary in sharks just because of where they live?
4. How does the tracking system actually work.
Vocab.
1. Girth. Size or bulk.
2. Anchorage. The act of anchoring or the state of being anchored.
3. Biopsy. The removal for diagnostic study of a piece of tissue from a living body.
Literature Terms
1. Ambiguity. the word tissue means in the story a part of somethings body but it also can mean a piece of cloth we blow our noise in.
2. Litotes. the size of Antoinette is really underrated in this book because a fourteen foot great white actually is pretty rare.
Final Comment
It surprises me how hard these people are trying to track these sharks in order to save them when they would do the exact opposite to us by eating us . It very inspiring.
