    Diana Lachhman Prof. L. Reesman Eng-102 3 June 2013 The Fish Marianne Moore’s “The Fish” uses imagery to present the animated picture of sea life using colors and shapes to grasp the reader’s attention of the ocean. The poem relates to interactions between the animals and their environment. The poem reminded me of the movie‚ “Shark Tale”‚ where all the creatures and colors formed the big picture of the movie.

    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.
