Fisherman

Arub Akram Due Date: Thursday 24th Journal 1 I am reading “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant” by W.D. Wetherell. The story is about a fourteen-year-old boy, with a love for fishing and a crush on the seventeen-year-old girl next door. His love for Sheila soon comes into conflict with his passion for fishing. In this Journal I will be looking at his choice between his two loves and how it turns out for him. As I go on with the story I see that the narrator has to make a choice…

Friendship: The old man and Manolin show no matter the age you can be friends and they teach each other what they know and acknowledge each other with respect. Pride: Santiago’s pride is what gets him through the difficult…

I wonder if the narrator will pick Sheila or the bass? One possible choice is the bass. One reason why I think he’s going to pick the bass is because he loves fishing. The way that I know that he loves fishing is that he knows everything about fishing. He also spends a lot of time fishing. Another, reason why I think that he will pick the bass is because it’s a big bass. The way that I know this is a big bass is because it is really strong. I know that the bass is strong because its pulling the…

Everyone has differences, which isn’t always a bad thing. Everyone in the canterbury tales, is different in their own way, appropriately or not. I have decided to compare the Miller, whom I named Jake, and the Shipman, who I named Michael. There are different from their looks, to the way that they care (or don’t). Jake, has a big mouth and is not very cautious in his decisions. He is definitely one of the strongest on the trip due to his big bones and his strength. His appearances including…

“The Old Man and the Sea” Final Paper Ernest Hemingway wrote the story “The Old Man and the Sea” in a way that does not make manifest the point of whether or not the protagonist, Santiago, is successful after returning home from the sea. When seeing the sole person he cares about, Manolin, he feels relieved after having been gone for so long. At the same time the villagers realize that the feat Santiago had achieved was unrivaled by any of the other villagers’ accomplishments. The fact that he…

The provision of the great catch is one that will be embedded within my memory for as long as I live. It is a lesson that reminds me of what God was doing in my life early in my walk with him. In this lesson, the disciples had been fishing all day and night and it was now morning. Exhaustion frustration, and hunger had set in. The lack of a catch equaled the lack of harvest and the lack of selling in the market place. Which in-turn would cause insufficient funds! Does this sound like any of…

The old man faces many difficulties in which he tries to overcome . He struggles with many things including a marlin, sharks, mother nature, and himself. Through these struggles Hemingway shows that it is key to keep trying no matter how little chance you have for success. From this comes many themes including be willing…

In “The Fish”, Elizabeth Bishop described the fish that was being caught and through the imagery readers can decipher the age of the fish. In lines 9-11 of the “The Fish”, it describes that the fishes’ “brown skin hung in strips like an ancient wallpaper”, the readers can use this information and guess that the fish must be at an old age. It would be different if Bishop said that the fish was old because then you couldn’t see why the fish was considered old. Bishop described that the fish has…
