Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market Paragraph
A fish that is a dark bullet.Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market is a poem written by Pablo Neruda originally wrote in Spanish and translated in English by Robin Robertson. The writing is about the idea of motion throughout the poem. The fish is being described to, as very fast and strong.
Dark bullet, Missile, Grieving Arrow.
The bullet, missile and arrow are three key features that are linked to the poem. This is meaning that all three are motions that the fish is perhaps using, like terms to the general point of the fish's speed, agility and force. They are all metaphors, that are talking about the fish's movement. These motions are telling us about the fish itself and how powerful it is in an simple image for us to imagine. In conclusion the tuna fish is metaphorically very strong and quick in the authors eyes and mind but, as for the reader we/you learned something truly different about a living creature that metaphorically speaking, is about the motion of the fish.
Dark bullet- meaning dark under the sea and fast as a bullet
Missile- meaning very strong, powerful and with speed
Grieving Arrow- on target/on point quick and somewhat dangerous
Sea javelin- defencive, fast and strong
Oiled harpoon- fast, strong and forceful
Torpedo- fast, strong and powerful
The motion of the fish is being described using the words of the examples like dark bullet, missile, greiving arrow, etc. This meaning that the fish had strong agility and has great and powerful force.
For all 6 examples there basically all mean the same thing but the poet uses synonyms of repetition in the words to show once again its Power.
Paragraph 1 DARK BULLET
The poet wrote the word dark bullet to represent how fast and dangerous (metaphorically) the fish can be. The word dark comes from under the water where the sea is very dark and mysterious. The word bullet comes from the power, strength and force the fish has.
Paragraph 2 MISSILE
The poet wrote the word missile in the poem because of the many things the poet thinks the fish and the missile have in common. Like for example the fish and the bullet cam dodge barriers very quickly and the agility of creature and the object are very similar. The missile is a very strong weapon whilst the tuna is very forceful (metaphorically speaking for the fish.)
Paragraph 3 GREIVING ARROW
Paragraph 4 SEA JAVELIN
Paragraph 5 OILED HARPOON
Paragraph 6 TORPEDO
