You have read about Bethany and how she survived a shark attack while surfing in Hawaii Watch the video clip of Bethany and write a blog about how you would have reacted and dealt with such a crisis. Would you have reacted the same way? Would you have done something differently? Explain...

First Comment!!!!!!!!!!
whoop whoop!

anyway...
back to the topic of Bethany Hamilton. If I ever got struck by a shark and lost my arm, Im pretty positive about the fact that it would most likely be my last time in the water, but then again, I have been playing football for 11 years and I have gotten hurt dozens of times and have always had the passion to just keep going. You never accomplish anything if you just dwell over the past. It's just like this quote I heard,

" I rather die as a tiger than live like a p***y"

I would do the samething.But i'm not going to let the shark take my arm.I would punch the shark at the eye so it would let go of my arm.After the shark bit me i'm not going to give up my career.

I would probably do the same becuase if you love something very much then I would keep doing it. I would not do anything different and I should not stop my dream.

I would probably be scared if my arm was missing and there was blood everywhere. I don't think i would be able to think straight because i would be so scared. I would probably panic and be unsure what to do.

I would have probably screamed and tried to get out of the water right away. I wouldn't have really done anything defferently. Just probably tried to get to the hospital faster.

I would have reacted in a different way I probably would have not just sit there I would not scream but I might hit it in the nose for it to come off and I would probably go back in the water and surf after I was out of the hospital. I would not be able to get show I would call for help. I think that she must have strong will.

I would hope to never be attacked by a shark. If I was ever attacked by one than i would scream and yell and pass out there in the sea. Also I would never go back in the water.

if i ever got bitten by a shark and lost my arm i would probably never go back in the water.

Chenoa said...

I think that if lost my arm surfing that i would never go back ing that water. So to me Bethany is really brave.

Mary said...

I would have been very scared. I wouldn't know what to do or think and it would be very scary. I would probably be in such a state of shock and I'd be scared that the shark would come back for more or that another shark would come and eat me, since they are attracted to blood.

i think it was amasing that bethny went surfing after the atack.

Devin Hems said...

I would have probably reacted differently because i hate sharks and I probably would i have died unlike her i would have freaked she was calm and faught her way through it.

Nick Sghiatti said...

I would hate for my arm to be taken off because it would disable me from the things i do now. She is a role model for people with disabilities or even with not. She got back on her board after her attack and learned how to get up with one hand. thats a good inspiration, never give up on what you love to do.

If was attack by a shark i would punch in the noise and say " bad no treat for you.

will said...

I would like it if my arm got bit off because every one else has said they wouldn't.
I like to be diffrent!
