The Fish

The Fish is about a fisherman that was out on the water and caught a fish. Once he catches the fish he starts to think deeply about it and observes it thoroughly. He describes the fish as being very large and ugly. The fish apparently gave him no fight at all as he reeled it in. When he pulled the fish up out of the water as it was hanging by the hook in its mouth, he noticed that it was covered in barnacle and little white sea-lice. The fisherman also noticed the fish' pale yellow eyes that led him tk think that the fish was sick. The fish has clearly been thrkugh a lot because the fisherman notices the fish has been caught multiple times because it has 5 other lines hanging from its mouth. The fisher finds a deeper appreciation for the fish and feels sorry for it so he let it go.

  1. I usually dislike poetry, but I enjoyed this poem. I really like the story it told. I think you did a great job summarizing it.
