The fish by Elizabeth Bishop:WK2

While reading the poem,there was a lots of imagery the details about the fish itself reflects into the catchers
mood and Interest on game of  being in pursuit.I believe that by putting so much attention on the fish, the
fishermen is given more credit.such references as the multiple lines that the fish has escaped from gives us the background on how much it was hunted and wanted by many fishermen.Also it's tremendous size reference makes it seem much more bigger and that much more of  thrill  to the reader.This much imagery also makes
you think about the loneliness about the fishermen who pays such attention to small details of the fish
features,make me at least wonder of it's himself who has been hunted and grown old and tired-some from his
own faith and chase.The fish has grown so tired and run downed that after all his effort he lets the fish go! I
believe that by doing so he relinquishes his own feelings and breathes fresh air and hopes for relief.
