This precious book of love, this unbound lover, To beautify him only lacks a cover. The fish lives in the sea, and ’tis much pride For fair without the fair within to hide. That book in many’s eyes doth share the glory That in gold clasps locks in the golden story. So shall you share all that he doth possess By having him, making yourself no less. LADY CAPULET (to JULIET) What do you say?
The word choice and stylistic devices used in the poem allows the reader to see his attitude toward the shark and forming the tone. The poet immediately describes the shark to be a rock and how s/he was shocked that it was a large shark when saying, “Is a thing that happened once (too often) to me. /But not too often- though enough.”. The unclearness of these lines can show how when first seeing the shark s/he was so shocked and full of fear that they were unable to express themselves clearly of how s/he was feeling. Although it was a fearful experience was still a positive and a once in a life time experience when saying, “I count as gain”.
I continued to cast at the bank making long cast for a deeper run of the crank bait. “Get the net” as I set the hook on a nice fish that seemed was going to be a problem since this was my first time actually catching a fish out of a boat. As the fish jumped a couple times out of the water trying to throw the crank bait my partner says “Nice fish” as he nets the fish and lets me know it is about the same size he caught. I was so excited I couldn`t wait to catch another
Many people often read magazines and articles and rush out to try their hand at fishing, and only to become discouraged and frustrated with their unsuccessful outings. Studying and surveying the natural food sources of the lakes and rivers is a must to be successful. You can look at reports and studies of what type of fish may inhabit your lake of interest. The more familiar you become with the body of water the better your experience will be. The weather plays a major part in the feeding habit of fish.
How is the fish characterized? Is it simply a weak victim because it “didn’t fight”? Comment on lines 65-76. In what sense has “victory filled up” the boat, given the fact the speaker finally let the fish go? In this poem called “The Fish”, Elizabeth Bishop describes the experience of a man who caught a “tremendous fish” (1).
Therefore, most of the readers have a profound impression, feel guilty and momentarily oppose the idea of cooking a live creature. The next argument that lobster cannot feel pain convinces readers as well. Wallace represents both sided arguments between animal rights activists and gourmet food lovers to be effective in making audiences to see double sides. In addition, Wallace never diverges from non-bias opinion to maintain a balanced flow to the ideas presented throughout the article: I believe animals are less morally important than human beings; and when
The underlying reasons a character carries out an action are often hidden deep in the words of the poem. The speaker in Elizabeth Bishop's “The Fish” ultimately releases the fish due to her newfound respect towards him. This newfound respect is highlighted by the use of diction and descriptive detail. The use of diction is a key element to reveal the speaker's respect for the fish. The us of the word “tremendous” not only allows the speaker to show the size of the fish, but also help the reader grasp the effect the fish has on the speaker.
Jesus borrows Peter’s boat so that he can teach from the lake then he asks him to get his nets after a long unsuccessful fishing day, to throw his nets out to the water and try to catch some fish again. At this moment Peter’s immediate reply is more like, “Yeah, whatever Jesus. I’m the fishermen and you are the carpenter.” but then the line that was the catalyst to Peter’s new life, “But at your word I will let down the nets.” 17 This decision was the first step into the greatest journey of his life. Peter has been known to make declarations of Jesus but this declaration, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”18 moved Peter to phase two of Jesus’ master plan of getting the gospel out to the world. Then Jesus does not ask a question but tells Peter what he will be doing for the rest of his life, “... from now on you will be catching men.”19 At this point, Peter finally realized that this carpenter from Galilee was more than just a carpenter but that the miracle He just produced revealed the presence of God, and that was what Peter needed to start the journey into becoming one of the most famous people in
Therefore, choosing this piece was a great delight for me. I decided that the first thing I wanted the viewer to see was fishes as well (just like Massons piece). I believe I met my goal since the central images of the piece are two huge fish. Not only that, but I gave them grimaces that stand out to the public. From my past personal experiences, I have learnt that in order to capture someones attention through a piece of work, not only must you make your object of choice big; but it should stand out or surprise the viewer.
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.
