Greg Smith 9/21/09 Writers Memo In this essay I think I gave a nice thick description of the experience of catching a fish. I also think I explained well who fishermen were and why people fish.

This is because I have this experience burned into my head and I tell fishing stories all the time so it was easy to put

For example, algae store mercury, plankton eat algae, small fish eat plankton and

This use of language means we affiliate the imagery with the suddenness of an electric shock. The electrical
