I thought "Skunk Hour"
by Robert Lowell would be a very interesting poem, but I chose instead to write
about "The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop.
This poem reminds me of what I feel a lot of people have forgotten in
this age and that is to respect ones elders!!
It is also sad because the fish was caught this time without no fight at
all. The fish had given up on escaping
its fate, a fate it had escaped at least five other times. Why did the fish choose to give up this
time. The other fish lines and hooks
were strong and big, but it gave up for this particular fisherman. The fisherman realized though, that simply
catching this fish was a feat in itself and that the fish should be returned so
that some other fisherman may feel the rush of victory that this fisherman
did. Around line twenty-five I did get a
little confused as to what the writer was describing, was in the fish or the
blood and entrails or the scene of the boat.
It is all kind of mixed up in the whole mess together, but I realized when the fish was released it
was just describing how the fish appeared in that moment.
