Which three lines in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop’s the fish shown that the fish has given up struggling for survival after living a hard life?
1)I caught a tremendous fish
And held him beside the boat
2)half out of water, with my hook fast in a corner of his mouth.
3)he didn’t fight
4)he hadn’t fought at all
He hung a grunting weight,
5) battered and venerable
And homely. Here and there his brown skin hung in strips
6) like ancient wallpaper,
And it’s pattern of darker brown
