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.

Read the statement below and decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Appreciation would always be present regardless of the fact that Prospero’s treatment of Caliban changed.  Because of Prospero’s initial kindness toward Caliban, an appreciation was there.  Again, even if the treatment changed, that appreciation of initial kindness would never be changed to resentment.  Further, even if it were possible for Caliban to be more appreciative, what would really have had to change were the actions, not the feelings (which is what appreciation is—a feeling).  Perhaps if Caliban had done more to show his appreciation, Prospero’s treatment of Caliban would not have changed to harshness.
