They end up going on a date, when he realizes he’s caught a giant fish, but can’t let Sheila know. In this journal I will be predicting and connecting. One question I had while reading this short story is whether he would choose the girl or the fish. One option he could choose was the girl. One reason he would choose the…

In “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant” by W.D. Wetherell, the boy is plagued by a girl named Sheila Mant. The author makes the boy extremely gullible and unwise which allows the readers of the story to understand his thoughts and regrets.

The Boy is plagued by Sheila. He seems…

changed now and simplicity seems to be gone now that he is an adult. On page 2 of the story, the narrator mentions, “Do you ever think that those days were different—that we had more time for such thoughts, that time had not yet been corrupted?” (Bass, 2009, p. 2). The character is thinking back to the days when he was 10-years-old. He explains life now seems to be hectic…

Xu 1 Michael Xu Prof.Adachi ENG 100F November 16, 2014 Celebrities and their Bass Now we all heard that song by Meghan Trainor “All About That Bass” and I’m pretty sure just by me mentioning the title everyone is singing it in their heads. “All About That Bass” is supposed to be a song about not worrying about your weight.

glance at the clock it said 12:00pm. My Grandma comes out (I call her mama pappy) asking “what I would like to eat” we both smile. After some time has gone by chatting and eating hot cakes, she tells me that “we are going to go to look at the new Bass Pro Shop.” She cleans up and I leave to go play with my newly bought Legos. My Brother “Noah” plays on the computer and my Granddad “Popop” is in the dining…

Throughout the story “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” the author W.D. Wetherell is able to portray Sheila Mant as an oblivious, uncaring, and narcissistic young lady using indirect characterization. By simply adding little details about Shelia such as “There was an extra paddle near the bow, but Shelia made no move to pick it.” the author is able to imple that Sheila is a self-centered person, seeing as she also leaves the narrator to do all of the work while she simply talks. The author…

They do not always need a fresh and constant supply of flowing water, but it makes for a more productive lifestyle. The catfish also needs good solid…

A Lesson in General Musky Fishing My Experience and Knowledge Concerning Musky Fishing “There you go Austin, reel it in!” my dad said. We were fishing for walleye off a dock at Clear Lake, Iowa. I was only 9 years old. I knew that whatever I had on the line was big, but I had no idea that it would be the first musky I'd ever seen or caught. The fish was mediocre size, having a length of only 31 inches. Nonetheless, I was mesmerized by the musky’s beauty and grace as it swam away from the dock. I…
