THE FIRST DRAFT
Marlin and Coral are two clownfish, admiring their new home while waiting for the eggs to hatch. A barracuda suddenly attacks them, Marlin tries to save his family but got unconscious. All his family was eaten by the barracuda except one the eggs naming him Nemo.Nemohada tiny right fin from the attack on his egg by the barracuda making slower than the other fish in school. Marlin is a cautious father as Nemo was his only child and while trying to help him he embarrasses Nemo in front of his classmates. This led to Nemo disobeying his father and swimming to the reef, where he was captured by a scuba divers. One of the divers knocked his mask into the water. Marlin was determined on saving his only son and on this journey he met Dory the blue tang with a short term memory disorder. Marlin and Dory met three fish free diet sharks, Bruce, Anchor and Chum who try to read the address written on the divers mask. Marlin and Dory while arguing about the address, Dory gave Marlin a accidental nosebleed which roused one of the sharks Bruce. Bruce lost his control and tried to eat Marlin and Dory, but they somehow escape the shark. In this chase they lost the mask in a trench in the deep sea. They struggled there way to the mask and Dory manages to read the address which was in Sydney. While their journey to Sydney they got into a bloom of jellyfish that could sting them to death. While hustling their way between the jellyfish and the sharks they got tired and saw green sea turtle Crush who took them on th East Australian Current or EAC (Sakowicz and et.al.,2017). Meanwhile Nemo was help captivated in a fish tank at a dental clinic. Nemo meets other aquarium fishes called the tank gang, which was led by an ambitious fish called Gill. The word was spread that the dentist is going to give Nemo to his niece, who was known for killing a goldfish by repeatedly shaking the bag. Gill starts to plan an escape for Nemo, The plan included jamming the filter of the tank forcing the dentist to clean the tank and putting them in water bags besides the window. This plan of Gill was null and void as the dentist installed a new high tech filter. While Marlin and Dory parted their ways from the EAC, troubles did not seem to leave their side as they got stuck in the blooms of plankton and krills and get caught by a blue whale. Dory tried communicating with the whale which worked and the blue whale took them to the Sydney harbour and blows them out. They meet Nigel who saves them from the seagulls by holding them in his beak and escorting them to the dentist's office (Hutapea, 2020).As they arrive at the dentist's office they saw Nemo playing dead in front of the dentist and his niece, this took Marlin by shock misunderstanding the death of his son. After hustling a lot Nemo escapes
through the sink into a drain. Marlin upset from all this leaves dory and started swimming back home. Dory on the other hand met Nemo but had forgotten who, Nemo was but after a long thought she remembered Nemo and decided to take him back to Marlin. On there way Dory got accidentally trapped in a fisher's net but Nemo bravely saves her by biting the net off. Marlin and Nemo met again and this time Marlin was so happy to see Nemo alive. Marlin and Nemo both and learned lessons from this adventure. Marlin learnt to trust his son and the art of letting go. They both then lived happily as Nemo again joined his class and Marlin was there to see him off but without being hesitated, overprotective and proudly watches his sons swim into the deep water.
