Using Bishop's poem"Fish" as our source, we parsed and studied how the poet uses imagery, simile and metaphor to create meaning . We first examined the final lines wherein the speaker reaches an epiphany and then addressed how with the repetition of the words "rainbow" the speaker's reverent perspective of the fish's courage and perseverance is illustrated in the images and figurative language of the poem..We then reviewed Joshua's homework essay on the poem and worked on creating a stronger interpretative thesis based on class discussion.
