There being brush and a steep bank with boulders for the bass to hide and feed. We started by casting crank baits that would swim right pass the cover to trigger that hunger strike from a bass. It wasn’t long before I heard my partner yell “Get the net this is a salty headed dog” for some reason they called their big bass salty headed dogs. I grabbed the net and scooped up a nice 4 lb bass “Way to go partner” as I replied when I seen the size of the fish. I continued to cast at the bank making long cast for a deeper run of the crank bait.

The ocean shows consistent hunt and people are the constant prey. First, one example of symbolism is “Shhhhhh, Shhhhhh says the sea.” (123). This example shows how the sea is wearing a mask of innocence. This makes the sea looks like it is very innocent, even though it is the main source of death in the book. Another reason why the sea is wearing a mask of innocence is because it lures people in with its beauty and scenery.
In the sestet the speaker questions what brought these things together when it’s pondered, “what brought the kindred spider to that height” (Frost 11) and “steered the white moth” (Frost 12). The couplet poses the question of an evil influence on natural design leaving the reader with a problem of having to decide what controlled or caused this event. In the poem by Pratt, nature and influence are viewed very differently by the speaker. The speaker is watching a shark swim about leisurely in the harbour. Various similes are used comparing the shark to hard metallic, industrial type items such as, “sheet – iron” (Pratt 4).
In the essay "A View from a Bridge," the author, Cherokee Paul McDonald attempts to describe the world through words to a boy with no sight. McDonald uses very detailed descriptions of this account and in turn realizes that beauty is too often overlooked in everyday life. In McDonald's essay, he uses his experience fishing with a blind boy that he discovers as he is coming up over the Rio Vista neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. In first person he uses dialogue to describe what the scenario of this fiction novel is. Throughout this lesson defying story one can seemingly depict the differentiation of spoken words between the blind boy and the jogger.
The weather plays a major part in the feeding habit of fish. For example, during a storm the fish become very inactive, almost sluggish. Right before, or during a thunderstorm, the fish hide in underwater shelter. Although on the other hand, just before a storm can be some of the most productive times for fishing. The fish can sense or if you will, predict the length of the severe weather.
Once the war was over, Sandburg returned to his hometown where a veteran status gave him free admission to Lombard College. He became chief editor of the college newspaper. He attended for four years, but he never received a degree. A professor Philip Green Wright, not only encouraged his writing, but paid for the publication of his first volume of poetry, a pamphlet called Reckless Ectasy (1904). Sandburg became a nationally known as a poet around the age of thirtysix when a magazine (Poetry) published his shorter poems, including "Chicago".
The conch, Jack’s knife and Piggy’s glasses are such symbols representing Golding’s perception of the Second World War through metaphoric figures. Golding emphasizes through the symbols in this novel the clash of good and evil and his point of view that every person as part of the nature of being human has a bad side that thrives to take over that of the good. Symbolism in “Lord of the Flies” is better applied to reality through Golding’s use of characterization. On the island the conch represents the law and order of the British society the boy’s had come from. The conch is governing authority, keeping those desperate for power under law and giving one the opportunity to speak ones mind as only the person holding the conch is permitted to speak, “Let him have the conch!” shouts Piggy.
Compare and Contrast Essay The short stories, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge(OCB) and A White Heron, have many differences and few similarities. For instance, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is set in the middle of the civil war and A White Heron is set in an unknown time. Firstly, a similarity is that they are both very descriptive. In OCB, “A rising sheet of water curved over him, fell down upon him, blinded him, strangled him,” is a very descriptive sentence with very good imagery. In A White Heron: “with her bare feet and fingers, that pinched and held like bird's claws to the monstrous ladder reaching up, up, almost to the sky itself” is a very good descriptive sentence with vivid imagery.
The poet also uses techniques like similes, personification and anthropomorphism to compare the two and stresses these comparisons throughout the whole poem, as an extended metaphor. In the fourth stanza we can find an example of this: “His heart sinks like a fish. He drinks like a stone.”. This simile, strengthened by enjambement, is a play on words, a pun that refers to the saying “sink like a stone” and “drink like a fish”, that don’t make sense anymore once swapped around. This nonsensical simile is used to create in the readers minds the idea that this fish really is a man, and his actions show it too.
