In "Fish Story" by Rick Bass, the element that I think that is an effective aspect of the story is the point of view element. The story is written from the first person point of view. The author, Rick Bass skillfully describes a fishing expedition in Texas in the 1960s when he was ten years old. Bass has a vivid imagination to describe the process of this story with such detail. One of his father's customers caught an eighty-six-pound catfish and since he was already in debt to Bass' father and didn't have the money, he gave up the fish.…

Nettie Wild’s intellectually provocative composition, titled Uninterrupted, is a stunning representation of the essentiality and effectivity of moving images.

Day performed both charity and justice as she even spent time in jail as a consequence of advocating for what she believed in. Day recognizes the poor and she can see in the poor what many of us fail to notice.…

For three days in a row, the professor assigns the students the same assignment and as the days progress, the students find new results. The first day the students notice basic physical characteristics about the fish, like its size and the color of the plate it rests on. The second day the students use a book to find out about the type of fish it is, and the third day they dig deeper and observe minuscule details; like its weight, position of the mouth and texture.…
