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.

RideAnS [48]

What she means is that she had made 19 trips to Maryland, helped 300 people to freedom, yet she was never captured and didn’t fail to deliver her "passengers" to safety. As Tubman herself said, "On my Underground Railroad I [never] run my train off [the] track [and] I never [lost] a passenger." During these journeys she helped rescue people that were from her own family and people who weren’t from her own family. You can check her story in the America Library.
