This article about sharks sighted in the Cape Cod area interests me because it is a topic that many Americans would take notice to due to the common and widespread fear of sharks within many American people. I like how this article not only uses quotes to support the facts, but also uses examples from experts from other places in the country other than the Cape area, such as George H. Burgess from Florida. I enjoyed how the opening sentence caught my attention by bringing up immediately what the article was about: shark attacks. The closing sentence also was also very well written because it puts the reader at ease about the topic, stating facts about how rare shark attacks are, ending the article on a more positive note. What I did not like, however, was the quote about how a sighting was "most likely" a great white shark. I did not like the use of this quote because I believe that it makes the article sound a little less intelligent due to the lack of legitimate evidence. This section of the article would be much more intriguing and reliable if this statement were to be removed.
