In the painting “Jamestown Lifescape” Keith Rocco uses precise details to convey the theme that cooperation and unity are indispensable to the survival of a thriving community. For instance, citizens are rolling the barrels of goods to the ships in order to send the supplies to other lands. The people of Jamestown are using teamwork by rolling the barrels to sell/distribute stock to other countries in order to sustain an economy by trading goods. To keep a strong economy, countries must maintain healthy relationships with other countries. To demonstrate, residents are working as a whole to finish construction, and keep the town growing.

“The Fish” written by Elizabeth Bishop has characteristics that could be compared to the Holocaust. The narrator of “The Fish” describes the fish as possessing human characteristics such as being beautiful and having a “life story”. During the Holocaust the Nazis’ mostly thought of the prisoners of concentration camps as only prisoners, however a few saw the prisoners as people with backgrounds, families, and souls. The overall opinion that the Nazis’ had towards the prisoners and the way the narrator views the fish are easily comparable.
“A big fish in a little” means ‘an important person in a relatively unimportant place’.

However, the first battle taught him what is the real war and the life. “The youth ~ made weird and satanic effects.”
Throughout history groups have worked together to profit and develop relations. In Asia the countries and groups of people developed the Silk Road, in Rome, the districts owned by the lords that governed them worked with the roman emperor to create a road system. But, these countries who have worked together have sometimes manipulated each other and took advantage of each other. Therefore, when groups work together they can create positive ideas, but in the end have negative outcomes.
Through the use of several stylistic devices including imagery, simile, metaphor, and personification, she emphasizes her concern for the new government. Starting her paragraph with a phrase that describes men as dangerous creatures, she establishes the idea of male hostility using zoomorphism, a technique where humans are assigned animalistic characteristics. By writing “dangerous creature” (Adams 229), she represents men as barbaric and perhaps irrationally or inhumanly destructive forces the way animals present a danger to humans. In the next sentence, Adams writes how “great fish swallow up the small” (Adams 229), illustrating male ruthlessness with this metaphor. Comparing the only members of society with power during her time - white men - to hungry fish with an insatiable want for more, she represents how this weakness could ultimately prove detrimental to their new system of government.

Amy Tan uses imagery in the short story “Fish Cheeks” in order to let the reader feel the way Amy felt at the table on Christmas Eve. For example, in the story it states, “ My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food.” This explains that Amy felt embarrassed that her family wasn’t realizing the fact that they had no manners at the table. Amy was completely embarrassed with the fact that, that was the way her family had acted while they ate. Everyone is put into a situation where they wished their parents or family members had not acted the way they did in front of them, and Amy Tan writing this story makes you remember those times.
And those above, seeing that those people are following the order, have to provide the workers with a “shield” of protection in return. Such slogans “form part of the panorama of everyday life.

Reynolds compares the fish struggling to survive outside of its habitat to “those of us from raging waters and crashing waves, beached, but trying desperately to breathe.” He is comparing humans to sea life essentially, using symbolism in order to evoke empathy from the graduates in order for them to understand what life might feel like for people who are less privileged. Overall, he is teaching the lesson that whether humans see it or not, there are often people who struggle with poverty, inequality, or a variety of issues, but are commonly neglected. This is why Reynolds is using his speech to spread awareness that humans need to step up and help those in need, using their privilege that others may not have. Continuing with this message, Reynolds uses the analogy of a bird to describe those who are less fortunate, saying, “There are those of us whose wings have been clipped.”
Although the old man suffers in pain and exhaustion due to the great size of the fish, the overwhelming sun, and his injured hands, he does not quit but keeps persisting. He does not let go of the fish. He maintained his strong desire to conquer the
