Secondly, (transformation of the men) In Kesey’s original fishing boat scene, the men reel in the fish without the aid of McMurphy.

Prior to McMurphys presence the men lacked to ability to do things themselves as they relied and abided by the strict ruled of nurse Ratched.

The two continue to have a conversation until Jack stares at his reflection displeasingly.

On page 17 Barry Hines describes in great detail the bird trying to eat the worm through the perspective of Billy.

Elizabeth Bishop use of imagery really employs the reader’s five senses to understand and appreciate her poem The Fish. The author first uses imagery to help readers see the fish. She describes the fish as, battered and venerable and homely. Here and there his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wall-paper (8-11). Through the image of the wallpaper you can clearly imagine the decay the fish has experienced.
The narrator of this poem goes through a series of stages in which she is at first detached from the fish, then intrigued by him, and then finally sympathetic towards him. In the very first lines of Bishop's poem, the narrator catches the fish and treats him as such. "I caught a tremendous fish / and held him beside the boat / half out of water, with my hook / fast in a corner of his mouth" (Bishop 665). She has just caught a fish and is in the process of bringing him onto the boat. She seems very disconnected from this fish, who is just the target of a sport--fishing.
