Personal Narrative: Little Fishy
Ho… Yo… Little fishy don’t cry, don’t cry, Ho… Yo… Little fishy… Be a whale by and by…
So yes, I'd be a fishmonger and if my wish were granted … I would be a Little fishy…..
Life would be enchanted or so the stories say…..Of course I'd be a hero to all fishy…..
Again as I sit in my living room 3 year later, the journey we started at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in April 2014 seems too short yet incredibly long. What did I learned this season and the other 2 years, One you are never too old or young to get a fishy from the fish monger, continue to fight the good fight no matter how hard life is, and gratefully tell your wee tiny fish to go on a quest to give thanks to a Hero of your choice …Thanks for all they have done for thee. .

    Analysis of Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish"

    In Elisabeth Bishop’s “The Fish,” the narrator is the fisher woman. Upon catching a tremendous fish and analyzing it carefully, she is reminded of her life. She notices the fish is not fighting to stay alive. He just hung there, still, and ready to die. This reminds her of her own life. She is now faced with the memory of the many scars that life has brought her. She’s not willing to fight as she once did. Age has really taken a toll on her, demanding her once youthful strength. The author speaks of the fish saying, “He hung a grunting weight, battered and vulnerable and homely” (7-9). The fisher woman found a similarity with her life and the fish’s life. She made a distinct connection between her life and this small creature.…

    Whale Talk is a book of many themes. Some of those themes are “Don’t Give Up”, “Independence”, “Abuse”, “Love”, “Happiness”, and “Teamwork”. “Don’t Give Up” is an example of the theme because even though TJ’s dad turns to suicide and drugs in order to cope with the accident, he still decides to take that experience to help out children in need. Another theme is “Independence” because in chapter 15, Kristin Sweetwater finally breaks up with Mike Barbour and actually sticks with the breakup.…

    Finding Nemo the Movie

    The story is about a small clown fish with an injured fin, Nemo, who rebels against his father, Marlin, and gets captured by a human scuba diver. Marlin goes on an exciting, action-packed hunt for his only child and ends up being surprisingly brave. Initially, Marlin was afraid to let Nemo go to his first day of school. You could say he suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. This would be the first time Nemo would be out on his own since the loss or Marlin's wife and future children to a barracuda. On the other hand, Nemo doesn't necessarily seem to have a specific disorder, he is just sick of his father. He shows this by going out past the "cut-off" and touching a boat. This is when Nemo is captured. Marlin chases after him and meets a seemingly normal fish who claims to know where the boat went. After leading Marlin, she turns around and acts as if she'd never met him. It turns out that this fish, Dory, suffers from Amnesia and can only remember things to a certain point. As Dory and Marlin become friends, they encounter other types of fish. They meet sharks that take the fish to a group therapy meeting where they talk about their recovery from being addicted to eating fish. In Nemo's tank where he is staying, he meets a fish who is obsessed with bubbles and doesn't like them to come out and be shared. This could be considered OCD, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Another fish with "OCD" is the fish who has a major problem with germs. Nemo also meets a fish who thinks that her reflection is her sister. The fish seems to be delusional at times and is severely confused.…

    Analysis of the Fish, Elizabeth Bishop

    When first engaging with a caught fish, the speaker describes the fish as having a “grunting weight, / battered and venerable” (8). This description depicts a specific tone of respect for the longevity of the fish along with the metaphorical weight the fish holds on the speaker’s reality. While the description soon hints at a repulsive nature mentioning barnacles, and infestations of sea-lice, these too aid in the start of a description of a respect directly related to endurance. Hints of a deeper meaning become clearer as the speaker describes the trials of mortality using the fish’s struggle in breathing the “terrible oxygen” (23). The bloody gills breathing in this almost torturous substance of life ironically represent the dangers and suffered pains of existence.…

    Victoria Braithwaite Article

    In the article, Victoria Braithwaite, wrote about whether fish feel pain or not. Victoria explained how fishes are mistreated every day. She questioned whether fish have emotions also, but gave an insight on how it would feel to have a hook pierce through your mouth. The article also questions if all nonhuman animals have feelings. Fish are usually seen as dumb creatures, but they are actually intelligent in their own ways. The significance about the article informs the readers about the emotions and feelings a fish goes through. Some insight I gained from the text is the way we treat fish. The article helped me open my eyes to way I treat fish when I go fishing. Fishes have a brain and emotions like a human does. Some still see fish as just…

    Tale Of Betrayed Brotherhood In Hemingway's The Old Man And The Sea

    In Ernest Hemingway’s novella “The Old Man and the Sea,” an old fisherman named Santiago faces the challenge of catching the largest fish of his life, an act he hopes will bring immortal greatness to his name. The accomplishment of this goal, however, hinges on the act of killing a creature Santiago often deems his equal, as exemplified by his recurring reference to the fish as a brother. The old man’s longing for greatness negates any moral considerations he may have, though, until he realizes his own mortality, extends that into a feeling of equality with the fish, and the fish’s body is destroyed by sharks. Then he understands what he has done: stripped the noble fish, his equal,…

    The above line states that everyone in this world wants to live a luxurious life but when he got that he wants more enough than that. His wishes never comes to an end and he wants to be a whale means that he wants to be big enough that no one could reach him. Here, big means not a healthy body but desirable and a luxurious life and here eel means a person who is a poor personality who cannot even fulfil his basic needs.

In these lines, eel is being expressed as a person who cannot fulfil his basic needs and whale is being expressed as a person who leads a happy and a luxurious life. One should be like that but to choose a reasonable way not a devilish way if he chooses those ways he might be escaped in this world but in the next world he will be punished harshly by ALLAH…
