In EJ Pratt's “Jaws,” the poet tends to use “he” when referring to the shark. The poet also describes the shark in a way that leads us to think that the shark is a symbol representing war. The poet suggests this by using metallic descriptions of the shark such as “sheet metal,” “triangle,” “knife-edged,” “tubular,” and “metallic gray” (4-6, 10, 19-20). So it could be that the poet is doing this to associate the shark with weapons used in war, alas the association of metal in the poem. In my version, the shark is “she” instead of “he”. This changes the meaning of the poem. The meaning I'm trying to convey to readers is the way women tend to think about each other. In the original version, the poet associates the shark with the description of metal. In my version, the metal descriptions as mentioned above are now "banner flag", "silver grey", "sharp edge", and "cannular" (4-6, 10, 19-20). Women are different from men. They do not use violence to resolve issues, but rather use their words and their intelligence. When you use these words, you can hear the change in tone from a harder tone to a softer one, similar to the difference between violence and words. In line 15, the shark bites a flatfish. In my version, even in line 15, the shark only glares because the females are not as aggressive as the males. Females tend to look down on other females just like the shark does in the poem. In "The Shark" by EJ Pratt, the poet inserts many effective dictions such as "pleasant", "agitated", "snappy", "lightning", "shearing" and "nimble" (2,7,15,17,23-25 ) These words are effective in their tone and meaning. Comparing “glowered” with “glowered” has a less dangerous tone (15), replacing all the effective diction changes the tone of the poem .In the original version, the poet describes the shark in a way that leads us to believe that the shark is an impenetrable, fearless and powerful creature, using metallic descriptions of the shark such as "sheet", "triangle", "knife". ”, “tubular” and “metallic grey” (4-6, 10, 19-20), the feeling is no longer there and now creates a feminine feeling of the shark, where the shark seems less terrifying. due to different terms such as "agile" and "slender" (24) In the original version there is the repetition of the word “leisurely” which is now “casually”.” (2, 25).
