If you were stuck on the canoe who would you pick, the Bass or Sheila? First, he could always pick Sheila because he has been in love with her forever. He thinks that she is quite beautiful and cares for her greatly. He also adores her because of her long tan legs and enjoys watching her tan during the summer. He thinks her white dress shows off her figure more than her normal bathing suit. He also has the option of taking the Bass over Sheila. This Bass is by far the biggest bass that he has ever seen and has been working to catch it for months. The line was running wild; the Bass was clearly putting up a fight. The rod was bending like no other, and he saw the line tighten but ignored it and stayed focused on Sheila. Why would he choose Sheila

In the story "The Bass, the River and Sheila Mant" by W.D. Wetherall, the narrator acts like someone he 's not to impress a girl. The narrator had been waiting the whole summer to ask out Sheila Mant. Every day he observes her moods and her actions on the lake. When he finally got the guts to ask her out she, said "yes" and they went to a concert. The narrator loved to fish and he practiced all the time. For his big date he cleaned up his boat and got it all nice and shiny to impress Sheila. On their way to the concert there the boy set up his fishing rod, and out of nowhere he felt a gigantic tug on the line. He knew it was a Largemouth Bass.

Imagery is something that is constantly being used since the beginning of time in multiple ways. The book writers, music artist, and everyday people use it to create an image in someone's head. Throughout Beowulf, there is a lot of imagery being used. In the beginning of Beowulf’s last battle, even before he fights, he says farewell to his followers for the last time and he chooses his words. He creates an image in the reader’s heads. The images that the words create makes it feel as if you were really there looking at everything actually happening. Such as, “They stretched their beloved lord in his boat, laid out by the mast, amidships. The great ring-giver. Farfetched treasures were piled on him,and precious gear.” This is a great example of imagery. This is from one of

Will the narrator pick the Bass or Sheila? He may pick the Bass. Firstly, the boy might pick the bass is because it is his favorite past time. He has a lot of knowledge about fishing; he knows what a bass sounds like from a splash. Fishing is 2nd nature to him; every time he gets his boat

Throughout the short story “Sheila Mant”, the protagonist must decide between the bass and Sheila. To start, there are a number of reasons that the main character may choose the fish. One reasoning is that the boy absolutely loves fishing. He has been fishing for years, countless of hours spent in the summer on his boat, reeling in catch after catch. He has the primest gear, the top brand equipment, specifically naming his “Mitchell reel” and his “Pfleuger spinning rod” (Wetherell 2). He practices casts constantly, testing the reel’s drag and never going anywhere without his fishing pole. Fishing is more than a casual interest; it is a lifelong passion. Another reason the protagonist may pick the bass is shown through his vast amount of knowledge involving

I wonder if the narrator will pick the bass or Sheila. I have gathered some evidence in why the narrator might pick the bass or Sheila. I’m going to start of with the bass because its what I think he loves most. One reason I think he’s going to choose the bass is that I hope he realizes that that its one girl and he can find so many more his age and interest. I also should point out is that she doesn’t “hate” fishing and that in reality not make a big deal about it. Last reason is that it’s his biggest, oldest fish he’s ever caught. But incase he does pick Sheila; I have information or points that can prove it. He has always seen Sheila as this beautiful girl and wanted to be with her. Another point for him picking Sheila is that he’s always

The struggle between a young girl and the tempting offer presented by a handsome hunter in Sarah Orne Jewett’s short story “A White Heron” illustrates that man should not compromise his happiness or beliefs for material gain. As soon as Jewett’s protagonist, Sylvia moves from a noisy and crowded town to her grandmother’s quiet and modest farm, she immediately finds herself captivated and enthralled by the surrounding woods and wildlife “as if she never had been alive at all before she came to live at the farm” (Jewett). For Sylvia, experiencing the wild outdoors sets her on a path of self discovery and sparks within her a deep-seated love and respect for nature. Not long after learning of Sylvia’s passion for nature, a charming hunter offers

In the land of pirates, treasure chests and much more, there was a lovely fair-haired young maiden who went by the name of Sophia. Sophia cherished going fishing with her father early every morning. The two of them would get up at dawn and walk down to the edge of the tiny bay where her father’s fishing boat awaited them. As legend has it, Sophia has been able to sing to the fish her melodic voice reaching just about every type of fish there is in the ocean.

Both the narrator and me have had choices of regret. So I can relate to the narrator. The narrator’s choice is choosing Sheila Mant over the biggest bass he’s caught in his life. He wants the bass so bad, but feels like he has to impress Sheila. The narrator wanted to impress Sheila because he has a huge crush on her. But by doing that he is losing the biggest fish he’s ever caught. He regrets this because Sheila blows him off to go hang out with another guy. But by making this choice (to get blown off), he loses the biggest fish he would have ever caught. Like the narrator I have choices of regret. I regret playing baseball in Waite Park. The Sartell baseball team isn’t very good, and it wasn’t enjoyable to play with poorer skilled players.

Some significant events in the story include the old man telling the boy that he will not come out to fish with him. This is foreshadowing for latter in the story when the old man wishes that he had the boy with him. Another
