The fish

I'm the farthest thing from a fan of poetry, but I must say I do have a new found respect for the genre. After reading "The Fish" multiple times I found myself enjoying the challenge of trying to figure out the authors message. I wrote essay #2 based on this poem and I thought I was going to have a nightmare trying to find the literary techniques used by the author. When I begun my search by analyzing the essay it became very clear that the poem was full of different literary elements. I must admit it actually was much more simple than I thought. I think I  will spend a little more recreational time reading and analyzing poetry. I think it may help with cognitive development by forcing me to think in new ways.
