    Killing Time by Ricky Swallow Essay

    Swallow thought about the circumstance that the sculpture was in, someone putting down his fishing utensils and throwing the basket of fish on the table and it spilling on to the cloth, ready to be sliced up by the cook.

    Shark and the Goldfish

    The story begins with Gordy the goldfish playing at the beach with his owner. It explains how Gordy lived a great life and didn’t have any worries. “He ate, slept, swam, and did twirls in the water any time his humans approached to feed him. He never wanted for anything, especially food. Food was abundant and he was prosperous. Life was good.” Everything changed when a big wave came onto the beach and carried Gordy out to sea. He was frightened and panicked, wondering who would feed him now. Not knowing how to gather food for himself, Gordy was nearly starved when he met Sammy the shark who decided he would teach Gordy how to act like a shark and get food for himself. Sammy explained to Gordy what he needed to change in order to survive in the ocean by saying, “Your problem is that you are a goldfish. You are waiting to be fed. That’s fine during the fat times when all sorts of people are feeding you. But you’re in the ocean now. Times are a changin’. Things are a little tougher here. You have to work a little harder. You need to be a little smarter. You need to change your thinking. You need to become a shark. Goldfish wait to be fed.…

    Symbolism In 'Good Brother'

    In the story “Good, Brother”, the fish heads symbolize the lives of both brothers and serve as a representation of the life they love so much in the dirty river town. When faced with the reality of having to move to another town, the reader gets a glimpse of the importance the fish play in the story. At first, it seems like a childlike game when hammering fish heads to the pole, but later a deeper meaning emerges. We see how important the fish are to the boy when the storyteller remarks, “we didn’t know what we were going to or how we were going to stay, until we looked outside and saw our fish” (Markus 266). Later, one brother anchors the other brother’s hands to the pole in an act that seems like one of defiance but is actually one of helplessness. Totem poles are popular in some countries as a representation of life and death and personal accomplishments. In this story, the pole the brothers seems to be in parallel with a Native American totem pole.…

    Unusual Animal Friendships

    Many animals, despite being from different species, create mutual bonds like no other. The same could be said about a dog that just gave birth, may take in a litter of kittens. In the passage, “Animal Roles and Relationships,” we read about different animal relationships. While they are from different species, they can come together for the benefit of both species, and themselves as well. An example of this is the hermit crab and the sea anemone. “Hermit crabs use their pincers to tap sea anemones. Once bother, the same anemones attach themselves to their hermit crabs’ shells. The crabs then give the anemones rides along the bottom of the ocean. In exchange for the free ride, the anemones protect the crabs from octopuses and other predators.…

    the blue head

    From the day, perhaps a hundred years ago, when the sun had hatched him in a sandbank, and he had broken his shell, and got his head out and looked around, ready to snap at anything before he was even fully hatched—from that day, when he had at once made for the water, ready to fend for himself immediately, he had lived by his brainless craft and ferocity. Escaping the birds of prey and the great carnivorous fishes…

    Something This School Really Needs

    Wherever the water was shallow, we got down into the streams and searched for holes where fish usually like to shelter. When we found one, we put our hands in and often caught some fish. Fishing in this way had its moments of excitement, for at times we also caught some water-snakes, which we found to be harmless. Then, one day, I came so close to death that I made up my mind never to catch fish again in that way.…
