The fish

In “The Fish”, I personally was caught up in all the excitement because I don’t know how it feels to be a fish catch on a hook. This poem, to me, shows an outlook on nature that I have always been accustomed to me. I see nature as a source of life and energy and when you being to see the beauty of it you began to grow an emotional beyond with it. In this poem, to me imagery plays a very big role. When you read the poem the imagery lets you not only think about what you are reading but also it lets you actually see it in your head. She is however well known for her use of imagery and her ability to convey the narrator’s emotions to the reader.
The use of imagery in this poem had to be used in just the right way. If it was not used properly then the poem could have lost all meaning and understanding, making the poem pretty much useless. When describing the fish, she starts to image the colors on the fish and the beauty of the fish eyes. How the fish have no motion of life in his eyes. She compares the fish skin to the ancient wallpaper in her house. She describes the pieces of broken fishing line hanging from the fish’s mouth as medals with their ribbons that are frayed and wavering in the wind. She use many a similar ways ex press how she have pride and honor for the fish. She decided to let the fish go because she began to grow a connection to the fish.
