Well, maybe a bit of fear.
Today in Biology class, one of my fellow AP English-ers and I got into a heated debate about the phsysiology of a "landshark," a completely imaginary shark with legs that I made up as an example for a genetics problem. She and I argued about whether the shark would stand perpendicular or parallel to the ground, based on the placement of its legs. Throughout the day, I questioned many people on their personal opinion. Now, I leave it up to my fellow AP English students--at least those who bother to read these blogs. Which shark formation looks more correct?
(Yes, Ms. Serensky, this is what we spend our free time talking about. Sorry.)
Sarah, I do not know what this has to do with AP English, but I really enjoy it! I know in class today I told you that upright is the way to go, but as I analyze the picture, I see that, by the predatorial stance of the horizontal shark, you have indirectly characterized him as intimidating. The other, with fins rather than hands, you have indirectly characterized as weak and ridiculous. Due to your persuasive drawing, I believe that I would have to change my mind and say that the horizontal shark is a much better land shark. Nice job!
