cruelty, people have started tattooing and painting fish. People have been Tattooing/Painting fish since the 1980’s. As a quote from practicalfishkeeping’s interview on Alen Lee “sold about 20 of them in just a week.” This shows that the product is selling very well and the chances of being stopped are getting smaller with every fish sold. This practice isn’t just painful it can cause health risks and is practiced in different ways on so many fish. The question is whether or not this practice has any lasting effects in the fish or the fish around them? Methods To begin, there are many ways that people go about this practice.

Fame can be a double edged sword as the author of The Painted Bird, Jerzy Kosinski, learned. After moving to America after World War Two he used embellished and falsified stories of his time as a child on the Eastern Front to gain intrigue among those surrounding him. When the book The Painted Bird was published, this use of his story stirred controversy over the legitimacy and factualness of the story. The story did not come from nowhere and proved to be a combination of his own exaggerated…

In Moore’s and Bishop’s “The Fish,” both poems dive below the surface describing a thing or place. Elizabeth Bishop’s take on her “Fish” poem is about how she gained respect for this wounded, old creature. While Marianne Moore’s reports a whole other world below ours, and how our dismissive ways turned this once beautiful place into a damaged, polluted one. The different takes on these poems named, “The Fish,” describe the special significance for an area or being, yet are unlike in attitude…
They walls on all sides are lined floor to ceiling with small fish tanks, no larger than two square feet. In each of these tanks is a different species of fish. These are the fish that are so small they would be overlooked in a large display but are so unique and amazing that they couldn’t be left out of the displays. These tanks contain all kinds of fish, most of which are not well known. One tank contains a group of very small, and very colorful minnow-like fish, that dart back and forth in…
believe in the outdoors. It has been an escape from reality for me. I am very thankful that I was taught at such a young age about hunting and fishing. The countless memories and time spent with the people that share the same passion that I do. When I first learned to walk, my grandpa taught me about the outdoors. I can still remember my first fishing pole; it was a Pfluger painted burnt orange on a 6ft’6in’’ Berkley lightning rod. The amount of time I spent practicing casting and tying lures…

would need to count on each other, so a very good ice breaker for the first day of class. The best part of this experience was when my team saved a duck that was struggling, tangled in the aquatic plants known as milfoil. Wrapping my hands around the duck to save its life was an emotional high, I hadn’t experienced, not to mention, my entire team of people I really didn’t know worked together to make this happen, and as the duck flew away we all experience emotions that were upbeat and…
been extremely believable in the realm of film and acting, there would have been serious complications, agreements, and liabilities. Not to mention an increase in budget due to the use of having an animal (shark) on set (Fortunato). Moreover, sharks aren’t meant to be actors they are “big, mean, primitive fish; [that] don’t live in captivity” and as interesting creatures and they are yet “difficult to understand” (Gottlieb 34). While the casting process for the main role, the villain of film…
