Do you have any choices??
The reader is introduced to the marlin because Santiago sees one of the projecting sticks dip in the water (B).
In <em>The Old Man and the Sea</em>, the main character becomes aware of the presence of the marlin when he realizes something is tugging at his hundred-fathom-deep fishing line. Because of the strength of the bite, the stick to which the line is attached is pulled into the water. Santiago immediately recognizes the fish as being a large marlin.
Answer:
Hey there! The answer is metaphor.
Explanation:
Similes always use the words like or as. For example, You were AS strong AS a ox. Metaphors never use these words. Like or as were not used in this sentence, so we know that the answer is metaphor.
