4 0

Elizabeth, in her poem, describes her feelings when catching the fish. She gives a very detailed description of the fish while showing an imagist style while doing so.

For example, she uses the following phrases:

"its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age".

She did not use a rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality like many poets used to do. Instead, she uses 'alliteration' to create rhythm. Such quality consists of repeating the same sound or letter at the beginning of each or most of the words in a sentence.

"still crimped from the strain and snap".

Hello. You have not shown the advertisement to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to create an answer with accuracy.

Nazi propaganda was created to convince people to support the Nazi regime, to help the Nazi government achieve its goals and to publicize Nazi concepts regarding race and sovereignty. These advertisements were very effective during the Holocaust, when the Nazis were able to convince people about the problem of allowing Jews to live freely and how they should be exterminated.
