Which three words or phrases in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" compare the fish to an old, experienced soldier?

A green line, frayed at the end where he broke it, two heavier lines, and a fine black thread still crimped from the strain and snap when it broke and he got away. Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw. I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow

Why dress code don’t benefit students
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Dress codes don't benefit students because they take away creativity in a school system that already doesn't have huge support for creative courses(such as art and music classes etc.). It also takes away one of the biggest ways that kids/people express themselves.
