Answer: Sea turtles, sometimes called marine turtles, are reptiles of the order Testudines and of the suborder Cryptodira.
Scientific name: Chelonioidea Rank: Superfamily, Higher classification: Cryptodira Mass: Green sea turtle: 350 lbs, Loggerhead sea turtle: 350 lbs, Kemp's ridley sea turtle: 89 lbs
Lifespan: So it is hard to accurately measure their life span over this long period of time. The most consistent estimate is about 80 years. There are seven species of sea turtles.
1) based on “grove” and “nature” i would assume a variety animal calls
2) “sad thoughts” seem to refer to the “what man has made of man” as it seems the poet is upset that the link of nature and soul is mended in some way. this could be reference towards deforestation or other acts we have caused to destroy nature
This poem demonstrates that rivers exist in dry places such as deserts. Indeed, it is stated that these rivers are likely to be "mightier than the Voltas." The only difference between them and regular rivers is that they are hidden from human eyes. Because they are underground, they do not dry out because they are protected from the sun and wind.
In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:
its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:
still crimped from the strain and snap
She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:
frayed and wavering,
a five-haired beard of wisdom
trailing from his aching jaw.
I stared and stared
