these words rang true in my head. I like the fish in the poem‚ faced opposition that left me battered‚ scared and bleeding‚ but at the end of the day my perseverance gained me the respect that I deserved. “The Fish” was also about perseverance through pain. The fish had almost been caught five times‚ but his perseverance through pain and utter defeat gained him the respect from the fisherman who finally caught him. The figurative language of “The Fish” shows that perseverance through pain demands

Life as a Fish One of the most unique creatures are fish. As I am sitting here in my room‚ my fish are swimming about with not a care in the world. I wonder what it would feel like to be a fish. I’m swimming about and see eight other fish swim around me. The thermometer reads 72 degree Fahrenheit‚ but the cold water suits me just fine. There are white‚ black‚ and gray pebbles all over the bottom of the tank which collects the deserted food particles. I accidentally suck

She was scared of what her crush‚ Robert‚ would think of her when his family had plans to come to her house for Christmas Eve

The Fish by Elizabeth Bishop Bishop uses literary devices‚ especially similes‚ metaphors‚ tone‚ and imagery to convey her theme of admiration for survivors of life’s difficult battles‚ in this case the fish‚ although at first she failed to admire and appreciate the fish. Bishop also doesn’t realize how beautiful the fish is at first‚ but she eventually finds beauty in the fish. Bishop’s tone of aloofness in lines 5-10 shows that first she is disappointed in what she thought was a big catch.

UFO as "An unidentified flying object; a ‘flying saucer’." The word was first used in print by Donald Keyhoe in 1953.[1] The acronym "UFO" was coined by Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt‚ who headed Project Blue Book‚ then the USAF’s official investigation of UFOs. He wrote‚ "Obviously the term ’flying saucer’ is misleading when applied to objects of every conceivable shape and performance. For this reason the military prefers the more general‚ if less colorful‚ name: unidentified flying objects. UFO (pronounced

Dramatization or Skit The Northern Expedition & The Long March The period between 1926 and 1935 presented some of the most significant events in the power struggle between the Guomingdang and the Communists. No two events more appropriately depict this struggle than the Guomindang’s Northern Expedition and the Communist’s Long March.

Hayden’s Lesson of Flying The beauty of flying is often downplayed and viewed merely as a method of transportation. However‚ it is much more than that because it not only helps the local and global economy‚ but allows people to have an amazing experience. Flying is so much more than that in positive and negative ways. The poem‚ “Flying Lesson” is misleading in a way. Upon initial observation of the poem‚ some think it is talking about flight training. This “flight training” is aimed towards the reader

The similarities between the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1803 to 1806 and a manned mission to Mars are not immediately obvious. Meriwether Lewis‚ William Clark and their fellow adventurers never had to deal with the problems of cosmic radiation‚ for instance‚ or the osteoporosis and muscle atrophy caused by spending months in zero gravity. And they had a never-ending supply of air. I expected that a comparison between their trip across the West and a potential space mission wouldn’t be that useful

Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. "Amy‚ your favorite‚" he said‚ offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal my father leaned back and belched loudly‚ thanking my mother for her fine cooking. "It’s a
