“GOOD THINGS COME TO

THOSE WHO BAIT”

TYPE OF LITERARY PIECE
THE POEM FISHERMEN IS EPIC BECAUSE, I
CONSIDERED ALL FISHERMEN AS HERO.

SUMMARY
IN the dark waveless sea,
Deep blue under deep blue,
The fisher drifts by on the tide
In his small pole-balanced canoe.
Above him the cloud-capped hills
Crown the dense jungly sweeps;
The cocoa-nut groves hedge round
The hut where the beach-wave sleeps.
Is it not better so
To be as this Savage is,
Than to live the Wage-slave's life
Of hopeless agonies?
MESSAGE/LESSON
THE LESSON OR MESSAGE THAT WE CAN
GET FROM THE POEM “THE FISHERMAN” IS THAT
WHATEVER YOUR PROFESSION NOR JOB, AS LONG
AS YOU ARE DOING WELL , IT IS A RESPECTABLE JOB.
LIKE THE FISHERMAN ,IT IS A RESPECTABLE AND
DESCENT JOB , IN FACT; FOR ME FISHERMAN ARE
HEROES BECAUSE THEY ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES
JUST TO PROVIDE AS SOME FISH AND ALSO TO
PROVIDE THEIR FAMILIES FINANCIAL NEEDS.

CULTURE/TRADITION
IN THE POEM FISHERMAN, FISHING IS
DEMONSTRATED AS A TRADITION AND
CULTURE.
SIMILARITIES & DIFFERENCES
CERTAIN FISHERMAN STILL USE THE
CULTURAL MATERIALS RELATED TO
FISHING, SUCH AS BOATS, FISH HOUSES,
SHIP YARDS, CRAFTS, AND TRADITIONS .
ADDITIONALLY WE CAN OBSERVE
DIFFERENCES AND THAT SOME
FISHING TECHNOLOGIES ARE BEING
INTRODUCED TODAY AS A RESULT OF HIGH
TECHNOLOGY.

REALIZATION
 I CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT PEOPLE
HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE YOU REGARDLESS
OF YOUR PROFESSION, WHETHER YOU ARE
SUCCEEDING OR FAILING, OR BOTH. I ALSO
REALIZED THAT OUR FISHERMEN IS TRULY
A HERO, WE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE
FACT THAT WITHOUT FISHERMEN, WE
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY
OUR FAVORITE FISH.
