2. THE APPEAL
People have always found sharks to be
mysterious
Sharks are built for only one thing; to
kill prey
With teeth that always grow back if lost
during a fight, eyes that roll back when
going in for a kill and bodies of pure
muscle, sharks are truly deadly
The thought of a giant ,relentless
killing machine appeals to the viewers
People like to be scared, therefore the
nature of sharks fits perfectly with that
desire
