Answer:

The writer used the image of a "fish" in describing how the prisoner was being held by the guards.

The guards were holding him in a grip, making sure that he doesn't escape. This situation is similar to that of a fisherman who catches a slippery fish and tries to hold it for fear that it slips back into the water.

Explanation:

"A Hanging" is an essay written by George Orwell. It portrays how a criminal is being executed under the "British Police" in Burma. Burma was conquered by Britain for more than 62 years.

The writer uses mostly "visual images" in describing and explaining how the guards held the prisoner. For example, he described how tall the Indians who guarded the man were. He also described two of them carrying bayonets and rifles and mentioned the detailed process of taking him to the execution area.

This excerpt clearly shows that the scar that character attained in the past still has an influence on his life. The character feels the presence of the scar as if it was freshly got, and all this descriptive language stands as a metaphor of symbolic meaning of people's scars in their life and fate.
