i caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
he didn't fight.
he hadn't fought at all.
he hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:

b. it describes the fish as battered and homely to build on the theme of disillusionment.
c. it compares the fish's skin to wallpaper to support the image of a shabby but admirable fish.
d. it makes the fish take on the qualities of a grandparent to show how much the speaker respects it.
