Sharks are a reoccurring topic as Lauren stated in a previous post and I found it interesting how on page 90 it says that the men were very afraid of sharks. I realize that they are constantly flying their planes over shark infested waters and its dangerous and quite scary but out of all the things to be afraid of in war I found sharks an odd thing for them to be scared of. Did anyone else think the same thing or is it just me?
I mean, I would be pretty scared to be floating around in shark infested waters. I find sharks to be one of the more dangerous things in the waters. I agree, there are other things to be worried or scared about but when you are stranded on a float surrounded by them in the middle of the ocean, I highly doubt you are worrying or scared about other things in the war. You are probably just trying to figure out how to survive until rescue comes. If you think about it, those sharks could potentially attack and kill them. I think the scared factor depends on the moment and situation. If they weren't stranded, I doubt sharks would be very high on their concerns list.
