In the poem "The Fish‚" Elizabeth Bishop uses a fish as a symbol to express the theme of life and experience. The poem by itself has little structure to it. There are no apparent rhyme schemes‚ nor any clear meters.

Behavior in Cichlid Fish (A. burtoni) Social animals (including humans) live in physically unique and social environments requiring them to observe and rapidly respond to the social and environmental context (cues) of their surroundings. An observed method that some species use in order to adjust to their social setting is altering their behavior based on “who” or “what” is present at any given time. A key social influence for many species‚ including the experimentally studied Cichlid Fish‚ is social rank

I was going to graduate in six days. I had another job already lined up and had decided this was going to be my last day working in a restaurant. Waiting tables defiantly should not become your career. I see people all the time that do it for a living and cannot fathom how they are able to put up with people seven days a week. I serve at a Mexican restaurant‚ and it has been one terrible experience after another. It was constant forced smiles at rude patrons‚ cleaning up after messy eaters‚ and poor
