Imagine this, you’ve lost your focus, you start to get bored, you begin playing with your fingers, you don’t know what to do. Suddenly, you see a beautiful Goldfish swimming around in the water peacefully. It calms you down and gets you focused again. Or maybe in free time you and your friends don’t know what to do, well a Fantail Goldfish is colorful, bright, and keeps you entertained. Our school pet should be a Fantail Goldfish because they typically live about 10 years in an aquarium, so they don’t die quickly. Goldfish have no eyelids so they can’t close their eyes like we do when we're asleep. Despite that, goldfish do rest sometimes during the day and throughout most of the night. Also, make sure to feed your fish in small amounts. Do
The main idea of this story Fish Cheeks was understanding and appreciation and having pride in one own unique culture. Tan mother invites the minsters family who happens to be her crush at the time who is Robert the minister’s son. Tan felt despaired during the entire evening, feeling ashamed of her family and non- American ways at dinner. At the end of the evening Tan’s mother tells her that she understands that she wants to like all the other American girls and handed a gift. Tan’s mother points out to her that she must not be ashamed of her difference, however, embrace these differences that she has found shame in. Overall the main idea was the differences that we are often ashamed of are the differences we should take pride in, because
of images and details about the fish, making it into not only a poem with a purpose, but
Effect on others: Throughout the first three quarters of the story, three different illustrations portray the fish scowling at the cat (11, 25, and 37) immediately after each of the cat’s activities. When the cat returns to clean up his mess at the end of the story the fish is shown with a smile on his face (57). Explaining the scowls on the fish’s face support the argument that the cat’s behavior at the beginning of the story is not acceptable to the fish. The fish’s smile at the end of the story reveals that the cat is engaging in behavior that is now acceptance to the
Understanding other people’s perspective is vital when it comes to making someone a more informed and a more sympathetic person. For example, in politics, there are two main sides; the democrats and the republicans. These two sides almost never see eye to eye, but when they see from the other’s point of view, an agreement can be made.
The short story explains the sustainability of life, how a negativity of a relationship can help one relate to the smallest symbolic things. The lesson of sustainability of life is more than just the life of the Fish. It was more upon the relationship between the parents. The owner of the fish was small and would not care for the fish, making the mother take care of it Reminiscing of her childhood fish; the mother also remembers how her father dumped her childhood fish in a Michigan river. The mother of the little boy still kept her act together even after the infidelity of her husband. She would compare it to her parent’s relationship. In a way, the negativity of both relationships made her compare her life to the fish in the tank. The mother “… felt awe at the fact that life was sustainable even under the most abhorrent conditions.” She felt that the fish was most likely going through the same stuff she was going through with her husband. After seeing Fish’s tank dirty, the little boy told his mother and assumed the fish was dead, little did he know the fish was not dead and that mother had cleaned the tank and moved it to the living room after signing the last papers of her divorce and saying farewell to her ex husband. At the end they all carried the fish “… where with a soft patter of congratulatory applause they’ll present Fish with a new home, right next to the television set.” She in a way explained Fish’s new life in a positive way ad for her life shall be the same. Overall the story compares to the human’s life and a fish’s life both very different, but in a way more similar than one can imagine. The topic of adultery is harsh, and the way individuals take it can either be calm or crazy. In my opinion she took her divorce calm and made her have a certain type of love back into her life. It is bazar to think that a fish’s situation gave the
The poet seems to share the same pain with the fish, observing the scene and enjoying the detail just like enjoying an artwork. The poet lets the fish go because she is totally touched by the process between life and death; she loves life but, meanwhile, is deeply hurt by the life. In the poem, the fish has no fear towards her; the desire to live is in the moving and tragic details when she faces the death.
In The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister tells how a beautiful, extraordinary, yet, self-centered blue fish learns that being beautiful isn’t the key to happiness. The blue fish came to find this lesson when he lost his friends. Pfister takes a simple ocean setting and explores the consequences of an individual’s arrogance toward their peers, the process of humbling of oneself, and the tremendous reward one feels when they learn to share. The story achieves these morals by the author’s use of detailed imager and also, the influence of minor characters on the antihero in order to reveal to the audience the true thematic message; selfish actions bring true happiness.

When people think of parrots, they think of the rainforest and when they picture fish, they think of the ocean. No fish could survive out of the water and no parrot would survive in the ocean. Everyone would think they would be completely different animals and there wouldn’t be an animal with both bird and fish features. Despite this thought, the blue parrotfish makes its home in the tropic oceans. Most people haven’t heard of a blue parrotfish, but it has many unique features that are interesting and help it stand out.
The null hypothesis at the inception of this lab stated that the breathing rate of a gold fish would not be effected with decreased water temperature around it. The alternate and working hypothesis however stated that decreasing the water’s temperature will decrease the goldfish’s breaths per minute. After preforming the experiment, my results support my original hypothesis as the fish’s breaths per minute did drop when the water temperature lowered. In my group’s experiment, the fish’s breathing rate stayed constant after only decreasing the temperature by 5 ◦C, the breathing rate then plummeted once the water temperature was at 10 ◦C. As a total class, the experiment further supported the hypothesis with the breathing rate per minute dropping
One of the most unique creatures are fish. As I am sitting here in my room, my fish are swimming about with not a care in the world. I wonder what it would feel like to be a fish.
