There once was a young boy named Jayden and his father who lived in a small shed. They were very poor and had barely anything to eat, especially on cold frigid winter days. They owned a farm where they could supply their own food in the summer, however, in the winter all their crops died and they had to find another way to get food.
On a bright, but chilly day, Jayden decided to go fishing with his father. They took their fishing poles and walked 2 miles down the shore. Jayden took off his shoes and thrusted them into the boat. They hopped onto the boat and paddled into the deep waters of the sea.
An hour passed since they left their shed and Jayden had caught nothing. He felt small nips on his rod but never a real bite. A few more minutes

Where are you??” exclaimed Jayden. No answer. He pulled out his fishing pole and hooked on a bait. He then released the string and winded the handle. Jayden waited. And waited. Until he could no longer take it anymore. He gave up and thought the turtle disappeared somewhere else. Suddenly, he saw the turtle poking his head out of the water. This time he wasn't caught on the bait.
“I am no longer going to fall for your bait. You have used me to catch you fish but I can’t do that anymore,” whispered the turtle. With a surprised look on his face, Jayden thought to himself. It seemed as if the turtle knew he soon wanted more fish.
“Why not? Aren’t all sea creatures supposed to fall for bait?” asked Jayden.
“Not in this case. I helped you as much as you needed and there is nothing I can do more,” replied the turtle. With that, the turtle disappeared into the ocean deep and never returned again. Jayden returned home with a mournful look on his face. He had nothing to eat now since the turtle no longer provided him with fish.
“How was it today? Any luck? Catch any fish?” exclaimed his father.
“Actually… I didn’t catch anything…,” replied Jayden.
With a disappointing look, his father sighed and said, “It’s okay son, you've done
To begin, in chapter 1, Julian decides to try to catch the big fish by himself instead of letting his father of brothers do it. On page 7 Julian thinks to himself, “If the fish has the bait in its mouth and I don’t set the hook, he might just spit it out. Maybe I should
When the boy finally gets a date with Sheila Mant, so they set out on a canoe ride toward the band in Dixford. As they started their route the boy set out a rod without Sheila noticing, hoping to catch a fish. While the line drifts Sheila explains “I think fishings dumb’ she said, making a face. ‘ I mean, it’s boring and all. Definitely dumb” (3). This is a perfect example of situational irony, because the boy loves fishing, as he says, “There was a summer in my life when the only creature that seemed lovelier to me than a largemouth bass was Sheila Mant,” (1) and has a line in the water, as the girl that he admires tells him her true feelings about fishing. This relates to the theme because it helps to clear up the fog that has clouded the boys head causing him to believe that Sheila is his true desire, when yet the fishing should be more
Once upon a time there was a man named Willie. Willie lived alongside the Waspi River. One day Willie went for a boat ride on his big steamboat with a big paddle wheel. Willie was on the Waspi River on his steamboat. Willie had a big problem after he was 2 miles down the South channel from his house that was on the North Channel on the Waspi. Willie’s big problem was that he couldn’t get his steamboat to start. Willie was looking for some food, because he was very hungry.
While other fishermen reel in boatloads of fish, the old man is lucky to feel so much as a tug on his line. He spends some time fishing with a young boy, but after months of bad luck, the boy’s parents no longer allow him to fish with the old man. It is for this reason that he decides to journey far out into the sea, aiming to catch a fish so huge it renders the other fishermen speechless. After venturing miles away from the course, the old man finally feels the pull of a large fish on his line; so large, in fact, that he does not have the strength to reel it in. However, he is determined to capture it no matter how long it takes, telling himself, “You better be fearless and confident yourself, old man” (Hemingway 84). He does his best to remain strong and optimistic throughout his time at sea. With much patience, he allows the marlin to guide his boat through the rippling waves of the ocean for days on end. When it finally tires out, he is able to kill it and reel it in, leaving an accumulation of blood in its place. Knowing this could mean trouble, he begins to head back to shore as quickly as possible, blood trailing behind him. To his dismay, despite his efforts to avoid them, the sharks sense the blood in the water and approach his boat. Each time a shark appears, he is eventually able to fight it off, but not before it can take a portion
At this time in his life, Fish began to run away from the orphanage as well as wetting the bed that he slept in. With bed wetting being normal, no one looked for any signs of him to go

His kids found the body caught in his fishing net, but he did not believe them. When he saw the body he was frightened and did not want to be caught with it. Therefore, he pushed it in the water and told the children to not tell anyone. But later that night the drowned man came back and knocked on the glass pane of the father’s home.
I wanted to think, and I needed to develop a couple of strategies. If I nibbled at this bait, I wanted to ensure I could avoid the hook it certainly must conceal.
When he cursed more, Alma called. “Best come if you’re planning to eat any of this fish. It’s done and some, already.”
The Fisherman chose to ignore them all. Even when his son noticed other fishing boats turning around and heading back, his father said, "'Not just yet,' he replied. ' Pretty soon.' Everything had been perfect. As good as he had ever had it" (Hall 311).
She questions how she could convey her excitement when it came to her turn to catching a fish and recalls it was the “white twisting fish” that hauled up onto the boat. By doing this, she paints a clear picture for the readers to vision themselves in the moment that was the peak of her passion. She was fond of the moment until her father opinionated that he “[doesn’t] like to see fish caught.” Instead of reasoning with her father, she realizes that it was simply a statement of his own feeling and ultimately it was her decision if to continue fishing. She claims her passion for fishing “slowly extinguished” from the words of her father.
My brother hopped out and got a few rods and a tackle box out. “Come on, Jay is already at the end,” he said as he rushed to the entrance and paid 18$ for both of us to fish until 7 the next morning. I stepped onto the pier and was shocked to see so many people of all ages, sizes, races. The pier was old and worn out, creaking with each careful step I took. The shine of the moonlight reflecting off the pier and the water gave the pier a somewhat scary but welcoming feeling. We walked down to the very end and met up with Jay. He had a giant cooler filled with squid and other types of fish to use as bait, and a gigantic battle rod. “What’s up man?” Mitchell exclaimed and hugged Jay. “Ready to try to teach this little one how to fish?” my brother laughed as they both looked at me awkwardly standing there not knowing what to do. It was around six at night and the pier was still pretty packed, but people were starting to pack up and

Nemo does not give up easily though and fearlessly decides that he must jam the tank filter to delay being taken out. This would help the fish find time to concoct a plan for Nemo to escape, one tankfish even states, “You have your whole life ahead of you.” (Stanton, Unkrich, x:xx). This scene shows that Nemo is willing to be brave in order to achieve a greater outcome. In fact, even old-timer tank-fish Gill says to Nemo, “That took guts, kid.” (Stanton,Unkrinch, x:xx) Towards the end of the story, Nemo’s courage is tested once again when an immense school of fish swim towards Nemo and Marlin’s friend Dory. Suddenly, a net comes and captures all the fish, including Dory. Nemo tells his dad, “I know what to do, we must tell all the fish to swim down together!’ Stanton (x:xx) Marlin tells his son that he does not want to lose him again. Further, in the heat of the moment, Nemo asks his dad to trust him as he goes into the net to try to save Dory and all the other
The excitement begins to rise as the first cast draws nearer. The motor is prepared for take-off and the key is placed in the ignition. The engine turns over and the huge motor roars. The sleek boat accelerates rapidly and speeds toward the first fishing spot of the day. In a matter of minutes, the powerful boat glides into the fishing spot. The anticipation of catching a fish becomes almost unbearable. The fishing poles are grabbed quickly out of the rod lockers, and lures are tied onto the end of the fishing line. Moments later, the sound of a lure splashing into the water can be heard from the boat. The real adventure has just begun.
