With the flashbacks, we were able to tell the myth of the tree of knowledge and its origin. Secondly, voiceover storytelling was used in Big Fish, as well as in our film, to narrate the flashbacks as they move along

that you can hunt, and many aquatic life you can fish for. In Missouri most people hunt for white tailed deer, turkey, rabbit, squirrels, pheasants, ducks, geese, and boars. You can also fish for bass, crappie, walleye, paddlefish, bluegill, and many more. They both have lots of diversity and many choices on what game you would like to harvest.

No telling what that poster will be up to next. Is my opening paragraph true, partly true, or a flat-out lie? And does it matter? Would

William realizes that his father "was becoming a fish," but that simply meant "He was just changing, transforming himself into something new and different to carry his life forward in"—that is to say, he becomes the last of the stories of this man who became his own story.

More than 40 percent of all the fish consumed each year are now raised on landbas ● ed or oceanbased aquafarms where fish spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy enclosures and where many suffer from parasitic infections, diseases, and debilitating injuries. ● High mortality rates, disease, and parasite infestations are common.
