A kraken is an enormous mythical sea monster said to appear off the coast of Norway. However, in a more exaggerated definition, a kraken is an island sized sea monster that not only rules the ocean, but terrorizes it. For years krakens have been a popular topic in the mythical fantasy of people’s minds, from legends of the appearance to stories of attacks. All in all, krakens are known to be humongous sea creatures feared by all sailors from their history in killing and their disastrous behavior. For centuries some of mankind has pondered the existence of krakens. Some believe them to be a myth while others believe them to be real. What is it about them that intrigue people? To begin with, krakens are massive. In source one; it says that …show more content…
When sailors saw the kraken, they knew that death was staring them dead in the face. It was known that Krakens could demolish anything in their path. In source five, it states “when the kraken attacked a ship, it wrapped its arms around the hull and capsized it. The crew would drown or be eaten by the monster.” Along with drowning or being eaten, a person could be punctured by a piece of the destroyed ship. In source two, Pontoppidan says “that the most danger the kraken represented to ships came from the disturbance it made as it came to the surface or whirlpool as created as it descended below.” The kraken was so large that a large portion of the ocean would be affected and anything in that area would fall into the depth of the ocean and become damaged. This also makes sense as to the majority of the sailors on the ships would die when the kraken emerges from the ocean and the other sailors that survived would die when the kraken goes back under the …show more content…
In the movie, the kraken is summoned by black beard with three words; “release the kraken!” these words then lead up to damaging events. In matters of seconds, several slimy tentacles emerge from the water up from under the boat. One by one, men are yanked from the ship to their death. The tentacles envelop around the waist of the men. They were either thrown into the mouth of the beast or drowned in the ocean. The arms then rose up over the main mast and crashed down on the ship, breaking the boat into two. Bodies’ flying everywhere, the kraken demolishes the vessel. In one scene, the kraken’s mouth opens up and one of the arms throws a man into the razor sharp teeth opening. This scene in the movie portrays what many people imagine an encounter with a kraken would
All of life, from parties to movie nights, there has been bad ones and there has been good ones. Of course, I am talking about pizza, what other food would be worth mentioning. Pizza has been universal to all types of people, from the die- hard meat lovers filled up savory sausage or to the vegan, with clusters of crunchy baked vegetables. Nevertheless, when people come in the room and see a tasty, mouthwatering pizza, everyone will be drooling buckets for a bite. Pizza has become my favorite food due to authentic feeling it gives, the endless combinations and the way it brings people together.
...k cant nearly provide the same fear as actually seeing the water and waiting for the shark to jump out and decapitate someone. Steven Spielberg also left us guessing because as the movie went on we got to see more and more of what the shark looked like until WHAM! The shark jumps out of the water and leaves at our seats to enjoy a blood-splattering finale. While reading the book I kept going and going waiting to get to a spin tingling conclusion and then all I read was how the shark suddenly floated away. I felt teased as if a girlfriend kissed you all over and left you there to stay with no action for the night! Part of it was the fact that I saw the movie before I read the book so my expectations were very high for the book seeing that Jaws is a classic. Overall I think Jaws is one of the few times that the movie actually beat the book by a very long shot.

The director continuously uses extreme close ups of the tiny, transparent organism in contrast to the victims being rescued to illustrate the image that coming in contact with this small animal can have such severe repercussions. They have also used footage of one of the Irukandji’s in captivity to more clearly show how skinny, long and transparent the tentacles are and that coming into contact with one of the tiny dots on one of its nearly invisible tentacles can lead to serious repercussions. The director also uses microscopic footage of a tentacle. This footage shows epic surges of matter exploding off of these small areas of the tentacle. This continues to embellish on the idea that the Irukandji jellyfish is a monster and a major threat to people in Southern

The crew threw harpoons at the creature, but those would not stay in the flesh for long. When the crew got close enough to put a noose around the creature, the rope tightened and cut through the animal, causing most of it to sink to the bottom of the sea. The crew, however, managed to pull the tail of the creature on board, and bring it back to the French Consul. From there, the tail and a report about the creature made its way to the French Academy of Sciences. Giant squid, of which there are many different species, have been spotted less than fifty times in the last century, but none have been seen in their natural habitat, the depths of the sea, or caught on tape.

...mazingly) and we watched the engines start up, with water whirling everywhere below the surface. I ran to the front of the boat to look down into the water and I kept noticing all these little white puffs everywhere. From where I was, they kind of looked like plastic bags floating through the water. I called Kristi and my dad over to see them. As we were watching, these poofy little balls kept appearing out of nowhere, there must have been hundreds. Finally, a really big one floated its way into our line of vision and from the eighth deck we were able to see what they were. Jellyfish! Cute little iridescent balls of cotton.
In addition, the. creature lives in a big wondrous grot and secret cell buried within the ground. Down where the sun lights flee, the kraken is battening up huge sea-worms in his sleep. It's huge. sponges of width and height blend in with the shadowy light. The enormous green giant’s giant arms would lie on the ocean bed and would have its ageless rest.
