1. This is the lat blog i will probably be ever doing so just to let you all know it's been fun.
2. I'm very sad that i will not be able to guide you all the way through this story but i will give u some of my predictions of what might happen in it.
3. I believe there will be about 4-5 more attacks on people.
4. That they will eventually kill the shark.
5. And finally that those beaches are going to be empty for years to come.
Questions.
1. How did they kill the shark?
2. Who killed it?
3. When did they kill it?
4. How many people died in total?
Vocab.
1. Man-eater. A type of animal or thing that eats man.
2. Murky. Some what cloudy or unclear.
3. bloody. Covered with extreme amounts of blood.
Literature Terms
1. direct characterization. The shark is described as a big lad with skin like sand paper.
2. Resolution. Even though i didn't get to the ending i got to the end of my posts so that's my blogs resolution.
Final thought
If you liked Jaws read this book.

Comments
1. It is just the beginning of summer when the vasuets arrive on the New Jersey Shore line.
2. The Doctor's son is on the shore playing with a dog when he decides to go into the water and the dog comes with him.
3. Researchers say that you are much more likely to get attacked by sharks if you go into the water with a dog. A young great white was near the cost when charlies the doctor's son got into the water.
4. A crowd was watching Charlie race the dog in the water when for no reason at all the dog turned back the crowd assumed that the dog just tired out so charlie decided to return himself.
5. As he was swimming in the crowd saw a large fin appear out of the water and start approaching him fast the crowd then started to yell watch out! to him but he didn't know what was happening until it was to late. he tried to escape it when only in 3 and a half feet water the shark grabbed his leg and took a huge bite it left him bleeding badly someone tried to pull him out when the shark surged fourth and grabbed him again other tried to help and got caught in a tug of war match with the shark. They eventually won out but the injury caused so much bleeding that Charlies
bleed out.
Questions.
1. How big was the shark?
2. Why do dogs effect attacks so much?
3. Why didn't people do something rather than stand around in shock for half the attack?
4. Were there life guards in this time period?
Vocab.
1. submerged. When something comes out or is on the surface of the water.
2. hoisted. To bring something up to lift something.
3. brutally. To be vicious, relentless.
Literature Terms
1. Rising action. This is hard to believe but this is just the rising action because the climax will be much more bloody.
2. Direct characterization. The shark is described as black about ten feet and 500 pounds by one of the witness's of the attack.
Final comment.
I haven't even reached the middle yet and this book is the best thriller I've ever read.
