I'll just post an excerpt of the poem "The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop. The excerpt would show that the fish has given up struggling for survival after living a hard life. "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. ⇒ The fish gave up He hadn’t fought at all. ⇒ struggling for survival He hung a grunting weight, ⇒ after living battered and venerable ⇒ a hard life and homely. Here and there his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper,"
