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.

What was probably one of the “crucial flaws” in voting system before 1845
jonny [76]

A crucial flaw was that the Constitution gave autonomy to each State to determine the requirements to vote. In this way the states limited the participation of people in the elections and generally gave the right to vote to those men who prove to own some land or pay taxes. Women were excluded from the elections, for which the voting population was reduced to 6% approximately.
