In class today we were assigned groups to read poems and
talk about it with the class. My group picked the poem The Fish written by
Elizabeth Bishop. My group decided that it was about a fisherman who went
fishing and on his line he caught an old fish. When the fisherman caught the
fish he described how the fish didn't fight to get off the hook, and the fish
just hung on the line. The fish is described as being an older fish. I think
that since the fish has been caught so many times the fisherman had sympathy
for the fish and just let him be back in the ocean and let the fish receive
another chance at life. It's kind of related to people now a day, because
people have struggled and fought so long it's always room for that last fight.
