Explanation:

Elizabeth Bishop's free verse poem "The Fish" is most probably about one of her many fishing encounters where she had caught a fish. The whole poem, written in a short- lined, slim shaped seventy six lines describes the actual action of hooking in the fish and even the detailed depiction of the short- duration fishing.

During the whole fishing action, the poet mentions the lines

He didn't fight.

He hadn't fought at all.

battered and venerable.

These three lines particularly shows that the fish had all given up on fighting against being captured. The specific use of the word "venerable" also seems to suggest that the poet feels sorry for the fish. The word itself means to have some respect for someone, or to feel some sort of warmth towards someone or something. So, with this word being used as early as in the eighth line may be suggestive of the poet feeling sorry for the fish she had captured. Thus, the three lines "he didn't fight./ He hadn't fought at all./ battered and venerable" shows that the fish had given up struggling for survival after living a hard life, maybe constantly living life evading capture or getting killed.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."

i believe being nice to m family is the right thing to do. they are people too and the deserve the same respect i have. they are there for me when i need them. i believe i should always put my family first because that is just how life is suppose to be. i love each and every member of my family and i should respect and act like i do. i believe that being nice to your family makes it easier for them to be nice to you. thats why i believe what i do.
