    This idea is supported by the frequented use of self-address implemented in the second half. The speaker becomes more involved. “I thought,” “I looked,” “I admired,” all produce a more active role on the part of the speaker. The turning point in the poem that triggers this alteration seems to be when the reader realizes that the fish is in fact still alive. “While his gills were breathing” (line 22) is the first action given to the fish and the first time he is addressed as a living thing.…

    In the short story “Simple Recipes” by Madeleine Thien, the author uses juxtaposition and repetition to shape the meaning of the narrative as a story about unity and its dissolution. Thien uses these elements of design in the juxtaposition of the narrator’s past harmony with her family being played out side by side with her more distant present. Thien also uses the repetition of certain elements such as the fish in order to accurately portray the breaking up of a once unified family. To begin, Thien first uses juxtaposition in her placement of the past alongside the present in order to emphasize the interrelationship of these contrasting times while also revealing details about the family’s past that strongly ties in with the overall story…
