Out of All the Fish in the Sea Besides having the same name and subject, “The Fish” by Marianne Moore and “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, don’t have much else in common. Moore’s poem, more or less, is about a fish swimming through the ocean after something terrible has happened to it (the ocean). Bishop’s poem is about a fish that has survived many encounters with death, a victor. Although they bear some minor similarities, the distinctions between Moore’s “The Fish” and Bishop’s “The Fish” are very prominent. Moore’s “The Fish”, was written in 1921 while Bishop’s “The Fish” was written over twenty years later (1945). The most obvious similarity is that of their choice of subject. Additionally, each poem has elements of war and that is only
Antwone Quenton Fisher wrote Finding Fish a memoir. The book had been published in 2001 by William Morrow. “Finding Fish is about a boy raised in institutions when being born by a single mother in a prison and a father who had been shot by a girlfriend.” Later, Fisher became a security guard at Sony Pictures Studios, where his story inspired producer Todd Black, to make a film, Antwone Fisher, based on his story.”
The poems “Sea Rose” by H.D and “Vague Poem” by Elizabeth Bishop were both written by two women who took over the Victorian era. H.D’s works of writing were best known as experimental reflecting the themes of feminism and modernism from 1911-1961. While Bishop’s works possessed themes of longing to belong and grief. Both poems use imagery, which helps to make the poem more concrete for the reader. Using imagery helps to paint a picture with specific images, so we can understand it better and analyze it more. The poems “Sea Rose” and “Vague Poem” both use the metaphor of a rose to represent something that can harm you, even though it has beauty.
Both authors use figurative language to help develop sensory details. In the poem It states, “And I sunned it with my smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.” As the author explains how the character is feeling, the reader can create a specific image in there head based on the details that is given throughout the poem. Specifically this piece of evidence shows the narrator growing more angry and having more rage. In the short story ” it states, “We are below the river's bed. The drops of moisture trickle among bones.” From this piece of text evidence the reader can sense the cold dark emotion that is trying to be formed. Also this excerpt shows the conflict that is about to become and the revenge that is about to take place. By the story and the poem using sensory details, they both share many comparisons.
The poet seems to share the same pain with the fish, observing the scene and enjoying the detail just like enjoying an artwork. The poet lets the fish go because she is totally touched by the process between life and death; she loves life but, meanwhile, is deeply hurt by the life. In the poem, the fish has no fear towards her; the desire to live is in the moving and tragic details when she faces the death.
While these works by Whitman and Dickinson are different in many ways, a few similarities can be found between the two. The most obvious of these similarities involves the themes and subject matter of the pieces. Both poems present the idea that life is a continuous and constant circle and that no one is ever really dead as long as he is remembered. Each also suggests that Earth is a living thing which all humans are a piece of in both life and death. Another likeness which can be found in these two poems is the imagery used by the authors. Through Whitman's detailed and vivid description, he allows the reader to form a clear picture of the scene in his head. Likewise, Dickinson use of personification causes the poem to come alive in the reader's mind. Indeed, by observing the themes and imagery found in these two poems, one can see that they do contain some similarities.
When considering the structure of the poems, they are similar in that they are both written loosely in iambic pentameter. Also, they both have a notable structured rhyme scheme.
One similarity between the two poems is that they both have titles which express positive feelings about war. However, the titles are both used in different ways; 'Who's for the game?' is an extended metaphor, as it is repeated again during the poem, ‘Who’s for the game, the biggest that’s played…’
Humans and fish are not closely related on the outside appearance. Most people would not see how we can share the same features with fish, but scientists do know that these two species share homologous features. Homologous is being in similar structures, and having similar genes indicate species are from a common ancestor, but does not have indicated that these features will work exactly the same. Humans and fish are related in the lineage of chordate because human shared homologous features to fish. Homologous features shared by human and fish enlighten the evolutionary pathway from the earliest vertebrate by sharing similar structures of the hands and fins, the development of teeth that diversified into features that showed up from the skin, and down to the instruction that made us who we are. The similarity of the bone structures and genetic instruction are modification we have from the original of fish’s bone and gene.
Fairy tales and fictional stories are full of mystical and exciting adventures, but most of these children stories have important lessons tied into them.The stories of "The Golden Fish" and "The Greedy Dog" both share similar themes about greed but are not exactly alike. Both the characters and the plot have similarities and differences, making them their own lesson learning stories about greed.
There are no differences in the poems themselves as they are both set in the same scene but different centuries one has a negative point on the poem whereas the other has a positive however they tell the same story but in different words.
It started out with this guy and his friend, but then the friend has to go so he decides to give his friend this Carp as a gift to remember him by. At first the fish didn't mean much to him, he just threw the fish in a bucket with water, then later on put the fish into a pond of a close friend. He then eventually went back for the fish because it gained sentimental value once he realized his friend has died. So even in Japanese literature they would use fish and other animals to show the signs of how the people of the culture genuinely react to situations that may occur. In this case because of his friend’s death the author used the fish as a pawn in the story to show how even the smallest gifts in Japanese culture may imprint a greater value to them (Ibuse
The two authors use similar techniques to produce homogeneous tones. Each author utilizes a profusion of imagery to create their tone. For example, imagery such as “the heron lifts his long wings leisurely and rows forward” from the poem and “the immense wings soared just a...
Aside from the conditions, which lead to the creation of these works, they share a number of other common threads. Symbolism aside these works are very similar on the surface. Both are a collection of seemingly disjointed images, which when put together by the reader or observer serve up a strong social message. That messages being that the wars and conflicts of the times have twisted the world. This is reinforced by the contorted and misshapen images in both works.
“If you hate difference, you'll be bored to death.” (Beta, 2010). All three poets, Wallace Stevens, Archibald MacLeish, and Marianne Moore are more different than similar. However, as Toba Beta says, it is much more interesting to be different than all the same. It is very interesting that all three of these poets were alive during the same time, but came up with such different works of art and each were considered successful. Here and there, you can find similarities within their writing, but these authors are all very different which is why their poems all have a different opinion of what right.
In the Fisherman story, plus the movie they both share similar concepts and views if you truly think about it. Then you have things that are total opposite if you compare the both of them, depending on the issue. In the both of them they both have some evil souls, and they both have some sort of lamp in the story line, but found it in a different way. Then we have where in the story he gets to choose they way he dies and in the movie he has three wishes to whatever he wants, but can’t use love. So we can compare and contrast quite a bit comparing the both together to see what they have in common and what not.
