Answer:

The writer used the image of a "fish" in describing how the prisoner was being held by the guards.

The guards were holding him in a grip, making sure that he doesn't escape. This situation is similar to that of a fisherman who catches a slippery fish and tries to hold it for fear that it slips back into the water.

Explanation:

"A Hanging" is an essay written by George Orwell. It portrays <u>how a criminal is being executed</u> under the "British Police" in Burma. Burma was conquered by Britain for more than 62 years.

The writer uses mostly "visual images" in describing and explaining how the guards held the prisoner. For example, he described <em>how tall the Indians who guarded the man were. </em>He also described <em>two of them carrying bayonets and rifles</em> and mentioned the detailed process of taking him to the execution area.
