Simile: "his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper"

The comparison between the fish and the wallpaper serves two purposes. The literal one is to inform readers of the appearance of the fish and to contribute to the poem's vivid imagery. The second purpose is to present the fish as a majestic creature, which increases the excitement over her victory.

Metaphor: "until everything was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!"

This metaphor refers to the marks that oil leaves on water as a "rainbow." The author says that the oil spread over everything in the boat. However, the phrase is also a reference to her happiness over the victory of catching a fish, and it gives the end of the poem a joyous tone.

(Fake but if your using it for a essay just use it) I was waiting for my uncle to get home, from the army we haven’t seen him in forever. Well I thought to myself he will be proud of me 11 next week. As next week approached we got ready finally the day I thought to myself. As my mom picked me up from school I was kind of sad I won’t be able to see him for the next 3 years. I walked into the door everyone screamed surprise... even my uncle was there that day.
